As we have mentioned installing a new shower tray with the waste in the same position as the old one should minimize potentially a great deal of work. If you’re happy with the general fitment, you then need to establish the best possible route for your waste pipe if this isn’t already in place. Attach the waste to your tray then connect this to the trap. Step 3 - Level the Tray Repaired sections of wall retiled with ceramic tiles Position tray in place and mark access hatch and waste Once the tile adhesive had cured correctly the battens were removed leaving roughly a 2 inch gap that we could then tile once the ray was fully in place. For further help and advice on ceramic tiling, see our project here.

Use your sealant gun to force the sealant into the joint so that it’s fully filled and then dampen your finger and run it over the surface to both smooth it off and force it fully into the gap. Tighten it so that it is “pinch” tight e.g. tighten it as much as you can by hand and then one final turn to pinch it up and seal it. You don’t need to over tighten it!A walk-in shower is an excellent choice for a disabled shower and for those with accessibility needs. Walk-in shower tray sizes range from 700-900mm in width and 900-1800mm in length. Lightweight: The trays are up to 50% lighter than conventional stone resin trays - making them safer for handling and fitting

When you're planning to install a shower tray, you must consider where the waste pipe in the bathroom is, as the hole in the tray for the waste must line up with the pipe. In addition, the waste pipe will need to be moved if you plan to move the enclosure to a new position. The location of the plumbing pipes which will sit below the shower tray will dictate which type of shower tray installation you can have. For example, a flat or low-profile shower tray installation is possible if the pipes are below the floor. But if the pipes are above the floor, you'll need a raised shower tray or a low-profile shower tray with a riser kit. The type of floor the shower tray is being fitted on should be considered before installation, as some adjustments may need to be made. For example:We sell a large variety of square shower enclosures. They're perfect for tighter spaces or those who wish to achieve a minimalist look. You'll find square options in widths starting at 700mm for particularly compact bathrooms, right through to enclosures in excess of 1000mm for roomier bathrooms. What type of shower enclosure do I need? If you’re replacing an old shower tray with a new one, and want the same size and shape, simply measure the old tray’s width and length, then buy a tray that matches. If it’s a quadrant shower tray, you’ll also need to measure the radius of the curve, which you can do as follows: Installing shower tray on tiled floor: We recommend that the shower tray installation is completed before fitting tiles. Fit the tray first and seal the gap between the tray and floor/walls with silicone. Then lay the tiles up to the shower tray and seal this gap with silicone too. This method will provide the best watertight seal. The main rule of thumb when it comes to any job such as this is to keep it as simple as possible. Go with most suitable type of tray for the room space you have and go with the most straightforward method of getting the waste water from eth tray to the main drainage point. Unfortunately in some cases, this may mean a compromise in terms of appearance.
