Good morning
Ok so my old shower enclosure and tray are out.
The old tray was 760mm x 760mm x 55mm and was recessed into the plaster board wall and then tiled down to it.
A few questions.
1. Do I have to tile down to and recess the shower tray or can I leave the tiles on the wall and install a bigger tray maybe 90mm - then seal it directly onto the tiles?
2. If number 1 isn't possible and I buy another 55mm tray I've a couple of concerns.
A. The copper pipe shown in the picture looks slightly crushed where the previous owner and forced the tray in - opinions?
B. also on the far wall also in the pictures it looks like the concrete so not sure how they managed to recess the tray.
3. Can you get trays that don't have to be recessed into the wall?
4. The tray was installed directly onto the floor boards - I am sure that now how it should be done - I think I need some sort of plywood base but does it need to be a special type.
5. Do you have to use mortaring low profile bases 45\55mm and same question for larger bases
6. Are the plumbing riser kits any good
Shower space - I need a 760mm shower tray best options?
Copper pipe in recess looks slightly crushed
recess in wall with what looks like cement in the recess?
Thanks in advance
Ian.
