I would be grateful if someone could you offer some advice please.
We had a 150 x 90 stone resin shower tray fitted a few months ago but experienced movement near the edge where it sits against the wall. This caused creaking and a broken silicone seal. Eventually the plumbers were called back by the builder and they removed a few tiles and plasterboard at the bottom to locate the problem.
Initially they thought it could be a subfloor issue then it became apparent there were gaps under the edge of the shower tray where the bedding adhesive was missing. To fix the problem they have put expanding foam around the edge, trying to get it underneath as much as possible but without moving the tray. This seems firm atm.
I can compress this foam with my fingers, therefore over time will this foam compress/disintegrate under the shower tray with use and cause a reoccurrence of the problem once the builder is long gone. Please see attached picture.
Do people think this is an acceptable fix or should I insist that the tray is removed and rebedded? Or any other fix?
I also have a durgo question I'll add on a different thread.
