FAQs
What type of waste fitting do I need?
You will need a square shower waste fitting, which is sold separately. Ensure it is compatible with the pre-drilled hole in the shower tray.
Can this tray be installed directly onto floor joists?
It is recommended to install the tray on a solid, level, and prepared subfloor. If installing over joists, a supporting structure or levelling compound may be necessary to ensure stability and prevent flexing.
How do I clean the slate texture finish?
Clean using a soft cloth with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive soap or bathroom cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to avoid water spots.
What is the warranty period?
The Nuie Slimline Rectangular Shower Tray comes with a Lifetime Guarantee against faulty workmanship or materials, provided it is installed and maintained according to instructions.
Can the tray be painted?
Painting is not recommended as it can void the warranty and may not adhere correctly or withstand cleaning.
What is the minimum required fall for drainage?
While the tray itself is designed for optimal drainage, ensure your waste pipework has adequate fall according to standard plumbing regulations to allow efficient water removal.
Troubleshooting
Tray is not level
Re-check subfloor and tray base. Use a spirit level and add support or levelling compound as needed before final sealing.
Water pooling around the edges
Ensure the tray is perfectly level and adequately sealed with silicone sealant. Check waste is not blocked and drainage is effective.
Waste is draining slowly
Check the waste trap and pipework for any blockages. Ensure the correct waste fitting has been installed securely.
Scratches on the surface
Minor scratches may be buffed out with a non-abrasive polish designed for acrylic or ABS. Deep scratches may be permanent.
