    how do i remove paint stain from Franke Fragranite sink?

    It's as well to be worried about spoiling the surface. I know from experience that fragranite won't stand up to the briefest of encounters with strong paint strippers of the Nitromors variety.

    Flush button gets stuck

    I recognise this valve as it has been giving the same annoying problem since the toilet was installed. Nothing fixed it and I discovered that the valve and button are of poor design. Lots were replaced free under the 1 year guarantee. Too late for that now though. It's got no identification on...
