alternative bedding to cement for shower trays

It depends on what your floor substrate is...if its concrete, a screed of cement is best, but if you're on fairly level timber, a good layer of silicone acts as a cushion and fills surface irregularities.

I've just fitted a Mira tray (ABS capped resin stone) 1200 x 700mm on to T&G flooring. Cost a bloomin' fortune 
The instructions were to bed it down onto a layer of silicone, on the webs underneath, which I've done.
So, its dead flat, and no creaks.

Boss wife reckons the anti - slip ribs on the tray hurt her feet

If the manufacture stipulates cement and or sand then there is no alterntive.
Anything different and something breaks/goes wrong they don't (quite rightly imo) want to know.
