Product Information
Full details
The Milano Rasa light grey textured slate effect shower tray is designed for homeowners seeking a modern, accessible, and safe bathroom upgrade. Its key benefit is the combination of a sleek, low-profile design with enhanced safety and ease of installation, thanks to its lighter weight and textured surface. A potential consideration is that the hollow underside, while reinforced, requires careful installation to ensure its full structural integrity.

What type of cleaner should I use for the textured surface?

Troubleshooting
Water pooling on the tray surface.
Ensure the fast-flow waste is clear of debris. Check that the tray is perfectly level; if not, adjust with shims or leveling compound. Verify the waste pipe connection is not blocked.
Tray feels unstable after installation.
Verify that the entire underside of the tray is adequately supported. If using the riser kit, ensure all support legs are correctly positioned and tightened. If installing level, ensure the base is solid and even.
Fast-flow waste is draining slowly.
Remove and clean the waste trap and any visible debris from the waste outlet. Ensure the waste pipe connected to the main drain is not obstructed.
Sealant around the tray is failing.
Remove old sealant completely. Clean and dry the area thoroughly. Reapply a high-quality silicone sealant, ensuring a continuous bead around the perimeter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
