FAQs
What is the main advantage of a recessed niche?
The main advantage is creating built-in, clutter-free storage within the shower wall, offering a sleek and organised appearance compared to external shelves or caddies.
Is the LED light bright enough to be the main shower light?
The integrated LED is designed to provide ambient illumination and highlight stored items. It is not intended to be the primary light source for the entire shower enclosure.
Can this niche be installed in an existing tiled wall?
No, this niche requires a wall chase to be created during the initial construction or renovation phase. It cannot be retrofitted into an existing solid wall without significant structural modification.
What does IP44 rating mean for the LED?
An IP44 rating means the LED light is protected against solid objects greater than 1mm (like wires) and is protected against water splashes from any direction, making it suitable for bathroom environments.
How do I clean the black finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Always dry thoroughly afterwards to prevent water spots.
What material is the niche made from?
The niche is constructed from 304-grade stainless steel, which is known for its excellent resistance to rust and corrosion in wet environments.
What is the warranty period?
The RAK Ceramics Ingot Recessed Niche comes with a 2-year guarantee from the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
LED light not turning on
Ensure the electrical connection has been made correctly by a qualified electrician and that the power supply to the bathroom circuit is active. Check for any loose wiring at the connection point.
Visible rust or corrosion
While rare with 304-grade stainless steel, ensure cleaning products used are non-abrasive. If minor spots appear, try cleaning with a stainless steel cleaner and a soft cloth. For significant corrosion, contact the manufacturer.
Niche door (if applicable, though this model is open) not closing properly
This model is an open niche and does not have a door. If there is an issue with items fitting, ensure they are placed within the 300mm x 300mm aperture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation of the RAK Ingot Recessed Niche requires planning during the construction or renovation phase. A wall chase must be created to accommodate the niche's dimensions, allowing for a flush, integrated fit. This is typically done by tilers or builders during the wall framing and tiling process. Electrical connections for the LED must be made by a qualified electrician, adhering to all local building codes and regulations. The niche is designed to be installed vertically within a standard stud wall.
Compatibility:
This niche is designed to integrate seamlessly into most standard wall constructions. The matt black finish is specifically engineered to coordinate with the RAK Ingot basin and waste range, but it also complements a wide array of contemporary bathroom styles and colour palettes.
Care:
To maintain the pristine appearance of the black finish and the stainless steel:
- Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- For tougher residue, use a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
- Dry the niche thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots.
- Ensure the LED light is protected from direct high-pressure water jets, although it is IP44 rated for general bathroom use.
