Collection: Composite Sinks

A composite sink is moulded from roughly 80 % natural granite or quartz and 20 % acrylic resin, then baked under pressure. The result is a solid, non-porous bowl that looks like stone but is lighter, virtually scratch-proof and won’t fade under UV light.

After washing up, rinse away food, add a drop of washing-up liquid to a soft sponge and wipe the bowl. Finish with a quick blast of warm water and buff dry with a microfibre cloth - this prevents water spots and keeps the silky-matt finish looking new.

Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda over the stain, add a splash of white vinegar and let it fizz for 5 minutes. Work the area with a non-abrasive sponge, rinse and dry. For stubborn marks, soak a paper towel in diluted household bleach (1:20), lay it on the stain for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Yes - occasionally. A weak bleach solution (no stronger than 1:20) is safe for stubborn stains, provided you rinse well and don’t leave it longer than 30 minutes. Avoid neat bleach or abrasive scouring powders, which can dull the surface.

Deep-clean once a week with a pH-neutral cream cleaner, always dry after use to stop limescale, and use the supplied stainless rack or a rubber mat when handling heavy cast-iron pans. These steps preserve the colour and protect the surface from impact chips.

Definitely. They shrug off temperatures up to 280 °C, resist chips better than ceramic and won’t rust like steel. With basic care a composite bowl will stay looking showroom-fresh for 20 years or more. Every Nesstar model carries a manufacturer warranty and, if you order before 2 pm Monday–Friday, it arrives next working day to 99 % of UK postcodes (remote areas 48–72 hrs) complete with basket waste, overflow and fixing clips.
