FAQs

Can I cut this shower tray myself?

Yes, the tray is designed to be cut to shape. However, it requires appropriate tools for composite materials and should be done carefully, following safety precautions and manufacturer guidelines to avoid damage and ensure a clean edge.

Is the anti-slip surface durable?

Yes, the anti-slip properties are integrated into the material itself, making them a permanent feature that does not wear away easily with normal use and cleaning.

How do I clean the slate effect surface?

Use a soft cloth with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive liquid detergent. Rinse well and dry with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.

What makes this tray 'warm to the touch'?

The mineral composite material naturally retains and radiates heat better than materials like stone or ceramic, making the surface feel warmer underfoot.

Is the material safe to cut?

The tray is silica-free, which is a significant safety advantage. However, when cutting any composite material, it is always recommended to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including a dust mask, eye protection, and gloves.

What is the warranty period for this shower tray?

Please refer to the product packaging or the Aquarius warranty documentation for the specific warranty period and terms, as this information is not detailed in the product description.

Can I use this tray with underfloor heating?

While the material is warm to the touch, it is not designed as a heating element itself. Compatibility with underfloor heating systems should be confirmed with the heating system manufacturer and a qualified installer, ensuring appropriate thermal breaks and installation methods are used.

Troubleshooting

Tray appears uneven or rocks during use

Ensure the subfloor is perfectly level and that the tray is adequately supported by a solid base or pedestal system. Re-level if necessary and re-secure the tray.

Water pooling around the drain area

Check that the waste trap is correctly installed and not blocked. Ensure the tray itself is correctly sloped towards the drain.

Surface appears scratched or dulled

Clean the affected area with a recommended mild cleaner. For minor scratches, a non-abrasive polishing compound designed for composite materials may help restore the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods in the future.

Sealant failure around the edges

Remove all old sealant carefully. Clean the area thoroughly and reapply a high-quality, flexible bathroom sealant, ensuring a continuous, watertight seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation is designed to be user-friendly. Ensure the subfloor is level and prepared according to standard plumbing practices. The tray can be cut to size using appropriate tools for composite materials; always follow safety guidelines and wear protective gear when cutting. Seal edges thoroughly with appropriate bathroom-grade sealant to prevent water ingress.
