I am doing my mother-in-laws bathroom for her, she is over 80, not very well off, and needs to get rid of the bath in favour of a shower.
I am looking at the tray she bought from B&Q (hope that does not make you go “oh no”). It is a quadrant 1200 x 800 resin composite and quite slim line. I don’t think she will go to the cost of tiling the floor, I suspect some sought of lino product or stick down tile. The bathroom is suspended floor and she likes the slim line tray.
How should I fit this tray, i.e. hoping to keep it slim line
1. Are the floorboards a possibility for mounting the tray on to?
2. Should I put anything on the floorboards like ply, if so what thickness?
3. If I have to use ply, would it be a possibility to remove the floorboards
in the shape of the tray and insert a piece of ply instead, i.e. maintaining the slim line look?
4. Would the Bal Rapidset I have be any good for sticking it to the floor/ply?
5. If not what should I use to stick it down correctly?
6. Do I need to prime/coat the surface/floorboards/ply with anything?
Any advice/info appreciated.
