Washing Up Bowl FAQs

Yes they do!

Yes, these bowls are likely to scratch a ceramic or butler sink, the orange bowl is much less likely to though as it has a hardwearing outer coat finish. An easy fix is to use a silicone matt underneath. 

All our stainless steel products come with a 15 year warranty. Glass and silicone isn’t covered, but we sell spare silicone lids for Seal & Go Range, spare silicone bases for the Lunch Bowls and tabs for the Bowls & Prep & Store Range. 

While there doesn't seem to be a standard sink size or washing up bowl size, our bowl is a bit bigger and deeper than some plastic ones. The best thing is to get our your tape measure and see if it will fit that way. It's 364mm long, 314mm wide and 150mm tall. If you're really on the fence and unsure but want to give it a try, we do accepted returns as long as it's unused and in it's original packaging.

Hot soapy water is best, the plain steel bowl can safely go in the dishwasher but not the orange powder coated bowl. While never getting as grimy and stained as a plastic washing up bowl, the steel can become dull after a time. If this happens you can bring back the shine with distilled vinegar. We don’t recommend using bleach on stainless steel. Stainless steel can discolour with prolonged contact with water, these stains are pretty hard to get rid of so make sure your bowl is dry at the end of your washing up session.

The powder coating on this bowl is exceptionally durable, designed to withstand everyday use. However, prolonged contact with a sink surface may cause the colour to wear in some spots over time. To protect both the bowl and your sink, some customers find it helpful to use a silicone mat. Rest assured, this will not impact the functionality or performance of the bowl.

Good value, excellent quality

The bowl is pretty, a very good size and feels solid. I like the depth that is a little greater than the usual plastic ones and seems to make a lot of difference. The colour is glorious. I am very pleased with my purchase

Buy cheap buy twice.

It seems expensive at first to spend this amount of money on a simple thing like a washing up bowl but it is made of proper steel, my mother brought a £20 one from another company as she liked mine and didn't want to spend the money and hers is cheap thin and not very good to put it in a non sweary way!

Do yourself a favour from a very fussy person if you hate plastic and buy this bowl. I'd recommend the orange one as it looks great, paint will last it's hard wearing and won't scratch easily but I'd recommend buying soft rubber bottems for it if you don't want scratch your £50 fancy orange bowl 😅

My Lovely Orange Basin

Saw this washing up basin online was so impressed that not only was it stainless steel but had the most wonderful orange coating on the outside. To me washing up doesn’t seem as much as a chore any more. The basin is just the right size for my sink it’s deeper than any other one I have had and because it’s metal it seems to keep the water warmer for longer. I have protected my sink in case of scratching from underneath the basin just in case. I know I will have this basin for many years plastic ones just a memory😂Ordering was so easy and communication from the company meant I knew what stage my order was in delivery was as stated. I am very pleased with Elephant Box and will order again.

Useful product

Bought this for sink in France, which is awkward to clean. Day after it arrived it was used to catch a leak from UK sink, shortly after that a rain leak. Also to soak washing & now to collect items to take to France, as shown in picture. May have to buy one for London home as well. Expensive but good.

A pop of color where you least expect it

The steel washing up bowl is a great product. I was going to buy the silver one but then the orange enameled version caught my eye. I just love it. Fits my belfast sink perfectly with a bit of space around the edge - always handy. It's a joy to do the washing up. I think this product will become a family heirloom as it's clearly been made to last. I highly recommend.

I love this bowl!

I love this bowl! I spent ages dithering about whether to splashbout and replace our plastic bowl with the orange Elephant Box one. I'm glad I did. There are no horrible dirty , slimey stains in it. We have it sitting on a protective pad, our sink is an old ceramic one.
I would have given 5 stars but a little bit of the orange colour was missing on the rim when it arrived
I'm still very happy with my purchase.

Nicely made but after one weeks usage I'm noticing a few scratches around the orange rim of the basin. Perhaps thicker coating would off set this minor issue.
I've read a few reviews where some rusting is observed after a little use - but i see no evidence of this as yet.

Is there a risk of breaking glassware in a metal bowl?

Elephant Box

Hi there, it's a small risk I think. Equivalent to washing up in a sink without a bowl. You might need to be extra careful with very fine glassware but otherwise you're all good.
