Product Information
Full details
The MX Elements Square Shower Tray (760x760mm) is designed for UK homeowners seeking a strong, durable, and low-profile shower base. Its primary benefit is its robust construction from cast stone resin with a smooth acrylic-capped ABS surface, ensuring longevity and ease of maintenance. A potential consideration is the separate purchase of an easy-plumb kit if a raised installation is desired. Key features include a 40mm low profile, integrated high-flow waste, and a gloss white finish.

How do I clean the shower tray?

Troubleshooting
Tray is not level
Re-check the subfloor for evenness. Use a spirit level and adjust with shims or approved bedding compound. Ensure the waste connection does not impede leveling.
Water pooling in the tray
Ensure the 90mm high-flow waste is correctly installed and not blocked. Verify the tray is perfectly level. Check that the connected drainpipe is clear and has adequate fall.
Waste trap is slow to drain
Check the waste trap and outlet pipe for debris or hair blockages. Clean the trap assembly thoroughly. Ensure the flow rate of the waste is not exceeded by the showerhead output.
Surface appears dull or has marks
Clean with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can damage the acrylic finish.
