FAQs

What is the exact capacity of the bucket in litres?

The bucket has a capacity of 25 litres.

What material is the bucket made from?

The bucket is made from strong, heavy-duty polythene.

Can this bucket be used for dry mixing?

Yes, it is designed for mixing plaster and screed, which often start as dry powders before water is added.

How easy is it to carry when full?

It features strong moulded side handles and a wire top handle, designed to make carrying a full load as comfortable and secure as possible.

What are the dimensions of the bucket?

The bucket has a diameter of 350mm and a height of 420mm.

Will this bucket withstand professional use on a building site?

Yes, it is described as a heavy-duty plasterers mixing bucket, made from strong polythene to withstand rugged use.

How does the deep design help?

The deep bucket design helps to reduce splashing when mixing plaster or screed, especially when using power tools like a drill.

Troubleshooting

Bucket feels flimsy when full

Ensure the bucket is filled according to its intended use (e.g., up to 25kg of plaster). The bucket is designed to flex slightly under load; check for cracks or damage if excessive flexing occurs.

Material sticks excessively to the sides

Clean the bucket immediately after use. If material has dried, soak the bucket in warm water before attempting to clean. Applying a thin layer of cooking oil or a specific release agent before mixing can also help, though this is often unnecessary.

Handles feel loose

Inspect the attachment points of the handles. If they are moulded components, ensure there are no cracks. If they are wire handles, check that they are securely seated in their respective sockets. Contact the manufacturer if handles appear damaged.
