Issue fitting replacement door & frame

[sargan]

I have a Neo-Angle shower tray, … imagine an oblong with corner cut at 45 degree It’s 1.2m x 0.9m

The ‘Roman’ shower door has failed, the only shower door that fits this tray is a now a ‘Roman’ glass frameless style. Ordered it and I have hit a problem
Installation is by fixing the vertical channels to the wall and you slide in the 2 glass panels (they have bonded on ends that slot into wall channel.)

Then you fit a door opening bottom bar (fixed size) and slide panel ‘out of the channel' until tight on this bar .. and then fix everything up,




The issue is the enclosure assumes the edge of tray is tight against the wall .. and then wall is tiled on top … effectively moving wall in another 10mm or so over the tray edge


My room has no tiles the wall is boarded floor to ceiling with Respatex shower panels. The shower tray pressed tight up against the panels, but the tray (due to the way it is manufactured) slopes in so the top is set forward by aprox 10mm. (marked in Red on sketch attached)





This means that when I try to fit the glass panels they are almost coming out of the wall profile, and could not be fixed.
This is the way room has been finished … I know fitting tray first then panelling would have been option, but the Respatex dealer advised against that.

I can't just fit glass panels further back as the glass ends of panels have to fit snug to the centre spacer bar, as this ets the door, seals, hinges etc. The manufacturer does not offer a deeper wall profile or a spacer.
I could resolve by fitting a spacer bar between wall profile & the wall … would need to about 20mm thick and as the wall profile is 1.25” wide, at least the width of that. Height around 2.0m

Anybody have a suggestion for a spacer, that would be unobtrusive (within reason) and waterproof


Alternatively, I would have to take the tray out and cut the wall to inset the tray, as it’s all plumbed in and sealed …. A damn big job.

Piece of alu bar 20mm thick ? And polish two edges ?

If it were my job to solve, I would cut the wallboard by running my oscillating multi tool resting on a 2mm packer along the top of the tray. Remember to stop 10mm from the edge, as the tray will tuck in under the wallboard.
Then remove the tray and make the vertical cuts (slightly tapered, as is the tray edge).
Remove the wallboard and refit the tray into the resulting slot.
With a new blade and a steady hand, I would expect to get this done and dusted in a morning.
Then you should fall within the parameters of your enclosure and it should be relatively simple to fit.

Take glass to glass shop, get new glass made 20mm wider.

Easiest way.
