FAQs

What size shower waste does this tray require?

This shower tray is designed to fit a standard 9 cm diameter shower tray waste.

Is this shower tray suitable for a wet room?

While durable, this tray is designed as a base for a shower enclosure. For wet rooms, specific waterproofing membranes and floor formers are typically required.

Can I install this shower tray myself?

Yes, with basic plumbing and DIY skills, installation is possible. Ensure you follow proper sealing and leveling techniques. Consulting a professional plumber is recommended if you are unsure.

How do I clean the surface?

Clean the high gloss ABS surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching.

What are the main benefits of the fiberglass reinforcement?

The fiberglass reinforcement adds significant strength and durability to the ABS material, making the shower base more robust, resistant to impact, and longer-lasting under regular use.

Is the low threshold a tripping hazard?

The low threshold is designed for easier access and is generally not a tripping hazard. However, always exercise caution when entering or exiting any shower area.

What is the weight of the shower tray?

The shower tray weighs approximately 18.18 pounds (8.25 kg).

Troubleshooting

Shower tray leaks at the base

Ensure the waste fitting is properly sealed and tightened. Reapply sealant around the base perimeter if necessary, ensuring a watertight seal against the floor and walls.

Water not draining effectively

Check the 9 cm shower tray waste for blockages. Clean out any debris from the trap and the pipe connected to it.

Surface appears dull or scratched

Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents. Use a non-abrasive plastic cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to restore the shine. Minor scratches may be buffed out with a plastic polish designed for ABS.

Tray feels unstable or flexes underfoot

Ensure the subfloor is completely level and solid. Additional support may be needed beneath the tray, particularly if installed over joists. Verify that the tray is properly bedded in mortar or adhesive if required by local building codes.
