Full details
The Roca Carla Rectangular Steel Bath is designed for homeowners seeking a durable, easy-to-maintain, and stylish bathing solution for any bathroom. Its primary benefit is excellent heat retention, keeping your bathwater warmer for longer due to its enamelled steel construction. A minor consideration is that legs and grips are not included and must be sourced separately. Key features include a triple-coated enamel finish for durability and easy cleaning, an integrated anti-slip base for safety, and pre-drilled tap holes.

Troubleshooting
Bath appears to be losing heat quickly
Ensure the bath is properly insulated during installation. Enamelled steel retains heat well, but poor insulation can lead to faster heat loss.
Surface appears dull or scratched
Check if abrasive cleaners were used. Clean with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Minor scratches may be difficult to remove; avoid them by using proper cleaning methods.
Water is not draining effectively
Check the waste and overflow fittings for any blockages. Ensure the waste pipe is clear and properly connected.
Tap holes are not suitable for chosen taps
Verify the diameter of your chosen taps. The Roca Carla has 36mm diameter tap holes. If your taps have a different fitting, you may need an adapter or choose different taps.
