Restoring yellowed washroom fittings?

F

Hi
I am fitting a new shower tray in my 2004 Bailey Ranger.
Over the years the UPVC (I think this is what it is) has yellowed in places on the splash panels/sink etc.
Now the new shower tray being brand new is very white in a splendiferous whiteness sort of way, (Think here of Russ Conways teeth) This makes the old washroom furniture look very drab and yellowed (Think here of chain smoking grandma's false teeth as they reside menacingly on the mantle piece)
Doers anyone know of a product that will restore the faded parts to their origonal glory?
 
There are various methods shown on internet websites, many involving combinations of bleach, baking powder, hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar.
It's advisable to test a small hidden area of the surface to be restored before using whichever solution you choose to determine if the material will be adversely affected by the chemicals.
 
I've had good results from using Milton, but as Parksy says... try a small test area first. and wash it off thoroughly afterwards with plenty of water.
As there is a lot of existing slightly "yellowed" bathroom plastic and only a small amount of bright white plastic in the shower tray, would it be worthwhile considering "tinting" the shower tray to match the rest?

Buy some T Cut UPVC Restorer.That's its name from the same stable who make T Cut.
As previously advised try a test piece first.
Be very careful of bleach. It can cause yellowing!
 
Now let me think ............ A yellowy fluid that can discolour ............... In the bathroom ................ mmmmmmm ................ Just got to explain to the wife that someone told me to do it ...............
Probably safer to go with trying to remove the discolouring. Its less painful than being hit around the head.
Mt wife uses the syllable hitting method.
YOU whack MUST whack TRY whack TO whack AIM whack BETTER whack whack 🙁
Thanks for the info
 
I Love your reference to Russ Conway Foggydave. It's hardly a Dulux color chart but being old enough to remember Him I have the exact picture of the contrast in my mind.
I hope one of the solution mentioned works ok for you.
Best wishes Brian
 
Ah yes Brian. I always remember him playing Side Saddle on the old Joanna. ..... For our younger viewers, Side Saddle was a tune he made famous. Not the position he sat in when addressing the keys. Oh no! That could be very dangerous without safety net, and was only practiced by Jim Yakamoto of Leeds until the fateful night when unable to hang on he fell into the grand piano and sliced himself to death on the strings. It is said Damien Hirst was inspired by this in his later works.
 
Yes always remember Russ Conway flashing the gnashers , some say he's the stig , but I know he soaked them in OMO .
