FAQs

Is the drain included with the shower base?

No, the drain fitting is not included. A standard 9 cm diameter shower drain must be purchased separately.

What material is the shower base made of?

The shower base is made of high gloss ABS that is fibreglass reinforced for durability and resistance to wear.

How do I clean the shower base?

Clean the base with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to protect the high-gloss finish.

What are the overall dimensions of the shower base?

The dimensions are 70 cm in width, 120 cm in depth, and 4 cm in height (W x D x H).

Can this shower base be used with a bathtub drain?

No, this shower base requires a standard 9 cm diameter shower drain. Bathtub drains are typically a different size and configuration.

Is this shower base suitable for a wet room installation?

While it is water and moisture resistant, it is designed as a base tray and typically requires proper sealing and integration with a shower enclosure or wall system for a complete wet room setup.

What is the benefit of the low threshold?

The low threshold makes it easier and safer to step into and out of the shower, reducing the risk of trips and falls, and improving accessibility.

Troubleshooting

Shower base appears uneven or flexes

Ensure the subfloor is perfectly level and adequately supported before installation. If installed, check for obstructions or inadequate support underneath.

Water pooling around the drain

Verify the drain is properly connected and sealed. Check that the shower base itself is level, as any tilt away from the drain can cause water to collect.

Scratches or scuff marks on the surface

For minor scuffs, try a non-abrasive cleaner or a polishing compound designed for ABS plastics. Avoid using abrasive materials during cleaning to prevent future scratches.

Difficulty connecting the drain

Ensure you are using a standard 9 cm diameter drain fitting. Check the alignment of the drainpipe and the base outlet. Consult the drain fitting's instructions for proper connection.
