Hi

I have been asked to replace a 1200x760 shower tray up on legs and sliding door in a recess. the old tray cracked and the householder has taken it out.

The tray was rebated in to the stud wall by about 15mm each side so the new tray will probably not just 'slide in'. i have thought about angling the tray in and raising up to the level of the tiles by fitting the legs (or whatever will be suitable) afterwards and then connecting the waste. I realise I might have to remove some skirting etc.

Has anyone else had to do this type of job with the least disruption or have any ideas

thanks

MJT

sounds straight forward,there will be nothing under the tiled area so you can cut out plaster and make space for the tray
as you said bring it up to the tiles lots of silicone and grout
job done
