Removing marks from a bathroom basin

Barkeepers Friend shifts most things. I wouldn't be without it.

Jif? Or Cif as its now known? An abrasive cream cleaner. Brillo pad?

A rubber pencil eraser.

Keep the basin dry.

If it works, great, if it fails, you have spent nothing (assuming you have basic stationery at home)

Also, try Blu-Tack.

Try "Power Bath" cleaner - you can get this at most supermarkets! Worked like a dream on my old cast iron bath....

Good luck

Tried the T Cut, Brasso, rubber eraser etc etc, none of which worked. Have since ordered some of this "Bar Keepers Friend", not least because I like the name of it!

Don't try drinking it!

You can get it from the supermarket ... and I'm not making any promises.

It might be metal from grips or whatnot rubbing on it. Use hydrochloric acid ("Spirits of Salts") soaked on a nylon cloth rested on the stain. Check that acid won't affect the basin by testing on an inconspicuous bit first.

Our new basin came with a black blemish in the glaze. The bathroom fitter polished it out with something he called a Porcelain Erazer, or Ceramic Erazer, (or somesuch). I had little faith but I have to say it worked perfectly and still left the glaze shiny.

Google not much help.

Try phoning some bathroom suppliers. They might be able to point you to where you can get one.

You could try a China & Bath Rubber from Toolstation

Yes. You can use any very find abrasive...metal polish, valve grinding compound, T-cut, jewellers rouge to achieve the same effect..
