good evening,
i bought a 900x900 shower tray and a 900x900 enclosure. the door adjustment on the enclosure is 875-900. after tiling it looks like the distance between the tile and end of tray is more like 875 but then you have to leave 10mm gap between the end of the end of the tray and the...
Just fitted a large and heavy stone shower tray onto a mortar bed. I forgot to run silicon sealant around the edges, before tanking with liquid latex and adhesive repair tape from Aquaseal. The tape overlaps onto the shower tray, making a waterproof seal all around it. Do I now need to cut the...

I have a 40 mm resin tray to install (sand/cement over suspended ground floor) and a decent McAlpine 90 mm waste. The hole in the tray is apparently on the built-in fall by accident or design, so that, with the ground-flat base, the edges of the hole vary from about 4 mm to about 8 mm on either...

I seem to find a lot of different opinions on fixing walk-in shower trays to floors. I will be fixing to a marine ply base screwed into joists with noggins. The manufacturer says bed into a weak mortar mix, but I read that this can lead to problems when the mortar dries out. Some say silicon...
Hi all,
Just wondering how you'd all tackle this. (I'm a bit of a lone plumber, so don't get to discuss jobs generally).
Customer has sent me pics of a quadrant floor-level shower tray. He's just moved into the house, and discovered the shower tray leaks (water through ceiling below). It...
Fitting a Mira flight safe shower tray, was looking to buy a seal to use on the wall and tray. Thinking of Abacus no more leaks or Mira upstand. SDS tiling boards and tiles finish on the walls. What's the better seal ?
Morning,I have an Elements 1200 x 900 Quad offset tray. My plan is to support it on marine ply, and I have removed old floorboards and have 18mm Marine Ply as support. I have read that it is best to support it on cement.,
If I bed it onto 5:1 cement mix, how do I eventually finish off between...

I'm installing a riser kit with my shower tray but unlike others I've seen my instructions dont say anything about securing the feet to the floor. Please advise.
Hi all 👋
I recently bought a new build house and had a quick question about an installed shower tray.
As you can see it the photo, bare tile is visible (just) with a gap to the right of it. I’m worried that water/ condensation will pass here and leak.
Should this have been sealed before the...
Good morning all.
Im just about to install my new shower tray (Mira Flight low) but I’ve noticed some ‘crunchiness’ at a couple of small points on the tray base. I’ve literally took the tray out of the packaging and set in position for marking out.
The soft spots are located at the opposite end...

Hi,
I've converted our loft into a bathroom and fitted the shower tray around 4/5 years ago. The conversion has been slow as I've been doing it after work.
I began to make the templates today for the glass and glass door. I then discovered that the shower tray is out. It definitely wasn't when...
