How to Treat Scratches On an Acrylic Sink

Acrylic sinks have a glossy, hard, non-porous surface that repels dirt and resists staining. Under normal use, an acrylic sink surface should maintain its beauty for years. However, over time it's possible that the surface may develop small scratches, especially if it comes in contact with utensils or other sharp objects. Most scratches only require a light sanding for removal. For deep scratches, contact the manufacturer for a repair kit and further assistance.
