Tbh, 22mm chipboard always was the only option

Yip, @Madrab isright, just stick a panel on the ' short ' side. If poss, when you're replacing the tray, could you turn it around so the waste/drain is at the far end ?

Respect where it's due - good job .

What's post #37 got to do with anything ?

And a fresh pair of underpants ?

For a second, I quite liked him. His snazzy 'full of sh*t' video was good, 'till he kissed his husband.......

I agree with @accelerator - the post is now in the wrong place, and needs to be put in the right place. You know it needs re-set.

I’d go for the ‘ Alaska Building Off Grid’ standard approach - make 12” dia cardboard tubes, bury a couple of feet into the ground, then fill with concrete. That lets you get all the levels done at the same time as well!

Get a brand new Stanley blade and carefully take every bit of that ( and the old) silicone off. Pop into screw fix and get a 646fn, and a 656ru. Make sure you cut enough off the end of the nozzle ( at 45 degrees) before you re-apply.

That’s what I would do, because, Using this will be very messy. Unless you’re confident that your ( hopefully waterproof proper Bathroom paint and not just standard Emulsion) will take a good sponging and wiping to remove the grout excess!

For those old enough to remember the’ Tartan Special’ adverts, where the ah-hem “ exotic dancer” comes on in the pub, and all the punters rush over to watch ……. Mr Cool stays at the bar, supping his pint, watching the overhead mirrors pointing down ……. Pure classic

I usually use grout because it’s in my hand at the time, and it either matches the tile or the trim. In this instance, the very last thing you want to do is try and get some black grout down there. Unfortunately, given your colours and nice clean walls, you’re probably going to have to paint...

Never put any silicone onto the outside edge of Splashback trim - it can’t be painted. ( you might not want to now, but you will in a few years ). Always use grout to backfill a trim on a wall that’s not flat. I’m always wary of doing this with Black trim though, as black grout ‘isn’t ‘ ...

It was here in Scotland when they were in bed with the SNP until last year. Voted through some Mickey Mouse ‘Trans rights for kids’ bill until ( thankfully) the Westminster govt stopped it.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey

I’m with you, I totally see the reasons for using the 150mm Hardcore and I would be wanting the same….. Just for interest - last summer 2 people in our street got block driveways pit in. They both got the full Hardcore etc done, but one was tamped with a Waker plate, the other a sit-on roller...

I've just noticed, the OP posted this same question 7 years ago..... I hope he's getting the same prices !

No, you can't tile chipboard. It's not good practice to tile ply either, though it can be done.

're dropped kerb : It bugs me that our local council charge £200 to assess the application, and then £50 for a permit if it passes. And the contractor that does it has to be on their approved list.

Have you looked at No More Ply in T & G ?
