Minor issue with bathroom basin

[james74]

Hi everyone,

I've just changed the taps and waste plumbing in my bathroom. All gone well, but I've got a minor issue that's a bit annoying and I hope someone knows the solution!

Basically I've got a white bathroom suite, and while fitting the new taps (chrome finish) to the basin, due to general clumsiness and having to work at a bit of an awkward angle I scraped the basin a couple of times with the new hot tap. Where I scraped it, there are now some unsightly dark grey marks, and although the enamel doesn't seem to be damaged, so far I've had no success in getting rid of them.

This isn't exactly a huge issue but these marks are spoiling the look a bit, does anyone know what I might use to shift them?

Thanks

James.

I think that's information best kept to yourself!!

seco, thanks for the tip, that bath eraser worked really well. Required a lot of elbow grease and patience but it got the job done, and also removed a stubborn rust stain on the bath which I'd given up on ages ago!

I'll keep the Mr Sheen thing in mind for next time - I find furniture polish is excellent for shifting sticky-tape marks or glue from stubborn labels, but wouldn't have thought of it for getting tool scuffs off a basin.

Thanks for all the suggestions, much appreciated.
