FAQs

Is the anti-slip surface difficult to clean?

No, the anti-slip texture is designed to be easily cleaned with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive pads that could damage the surface.

Can this shower tray be installed on floor joists?

It is recommended to install the tray on a solid, level subfloor. If installing over floor joists, a sturdy plywood or cement board subfloor must be created to provide adequate support.

What type of waste fitting should I use?

The tray is compatible with most standard UK and European shower waste fittings. Ensure it is a high-flow waste fitting for optimal drainage.

How durable is the slate effect finish?

The mineral composite material is very durable, and the slate effect is integrated into the material itself, making it resistant to chipping and wear under normal use conditions.

Is the silica-free construction beneficial for health?

Yes, being silica-free means that during manufacturing and installation, there is no risk of inhaling fine silica particles, which can be harmful to respiratory health.

Can I paint or refinish the shower tray?

It is not recommended to paint or refinish the shower tray, as this can compromise the integrity of the surface and void the warranty. The product is designed to maintain its finish with proper care.

What is the warranty period for this shower tray?

Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty documentation for the specific warranty period and terms and conditions applicable to this Aquarius product.

Troubleshooting

Tray is not level

Check the subfloor for evenness. Adjust support packers or bedding material underneath the tray until it is perfectly level. Ensure all fixings are secure.

Water pooling on the surface

Verify the tray is installed level and that the waste trap is clear of debris. Ensure the waste pipe is correctly sloped away from the tray.

Surface appears scratched

Minor scratches can often be buffed out using a non-abrasive polishing compound suitable for composite materials. Avoid abrasive cleaners in the future.

Sealant failure around edges

Remove old sealant completely. Clean and dry the area thoroughly, then reapply a high-quality silicone sealant specifically designed for bathrooms and showers.

Difficulty cutting the tray

Ensure you are using the correct cutting tool and blade (e.g., diamond-tipped) for mineral composite. Cut slowly and steadily to avoid chipping or cracking.

  2. Position the Tray: Carefully place the shower tray in its intended location.
  3. Cutting to Shape (if necessary): If the tray needs to be cut for a custom fit, use appropriate tools (e.g., a diamond-tipped saw blade suitable for composite materials) and follow safety precautions. Measure twice, cut once.
  4. Adhere the Tray: Apply a suitable tile adhesive or shower tray sealant around the edges and to the support structure, ensuring full contact and support.
