Troubleshooting
Shower tray is not level
Re-adjust the positioning using shims or adjustable legs if applicable. Ensure the subfloor is adequately prepared and level before installation.
Water is not draining efficiently
Check the 90mm high-flow waste for any blockages. Ensure the waste trap is clear and the pipework is not obstructed. Verify the tray is installed with a slight fall towards the waste.
Visible gaps around the edge of the tray
Ensure the tray is properly seated. Re-apply silicone sealant around the perimeter to create a watertight seal. Check for any debris preventing a flush fit.
Scratches or marks on the surface
Minor scratches can often be buffed out using a non-abrasive polishing compound designed for solid surfaces. For deeper marks, consult a professional or the manufacturer's recommendations.
