New tray was measured to be level, old tray was drilled and smashed up with minimal damage to the tiles, floor or underfloor heating which came close to the edge of the tray. The new tray went in but 2x tiles were badly chipped in the process, these were subsequently replaced and after grouting...

Yeah, I've watched some videos and think an SDS with chisel will make reasonably short work of it. It's "acrylic-capped ABS over resin-bonded stone filler". If Kudos say no, I'll take it up with the credit card company. If they also say no, then I'll just chalk it up to experience. The new...

That's correct, in a nutshell the enclosure exposed the 'ramp' effect on the curved edge. Yes, the wall tiles are rustic so they themselves aren't totally level but multiple readings in multiple locations on the floor and walls showed the bubble of multiple spirit levels to be level within the...

Spoke to the fitter. The tray sits on a bed of tile adhesive, which sits on a cement board, which sits on the floor boards. The surrounding tiles sit on a screed that was poured AFTER the tray was installed. Sorry if I wasn't clear. The fitter is happy to remove and replace. I won't be doing...

You dislike the tiles that much? ;)

I posted here the other day: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/shower-tray-not-level-start-again.642940/#post-5937307 At the time, I believed my fitter had installed my shower tray badly which meant the enclosure could not be properly installed but on closer inspection, I think the tray itself...

Spoke to him this morning, he's predictably reluctant about ripping it out but agreed to fix it.

I think the enclosure would work. There's a metal rail in the enclosure (not shown) that the bottom door seal is supposed to clear. The would cause water to be deflected back into the tray. As you point out though, the bodge would annoy me too. The enclosure was £600 (RRP £1500) and the panels...

I'm a software engineer so can't answer this accurately but the bathroom has a suspended wooden floor. The floorboards were cut out, something laid over the joists and then a mortar (I assume) bed laid on top of that for the tray to go into. Fitter used these boards labelled 'Jackoboard' which...

I purchased with a single trap as we don't have massive water pressure, perhaps that was an error. Thanks for the tip. I'll take it up with the fitter tomorrow.

Reading around the topic, I think the best course of action is to have the fitter relay the tray. Will see how that conversation goes tomorrow.

Found this thread which was worth a read: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/advice-re-plumber-and-shower-tray-not-being-level.211064/page-3 Shower tray is a Kudos Connect2 (recommended by City Plumbing, made in Britain etc) so shouldn't be totally crap/twisted. Assuming the floor is level, the...

Entering the final stages of the bathroom renovation and the enclosure was installed on Friday. The fitter struggled with it and said that 'it wasn't right'. When the bottom seal was installed on the shower door, it wouldn't clear the rail designed to deflect water into the shower and there were...

Understood...annoyingly they are mounted to a first-floor gutter though and I do not have ladders :(

No idea where I'm going wrong here but I'd guess I need a 5V plug capable of putting out at least 1.5W?
