Quadrant shower tray base

[sarahx]

Help! Lovely new quadrant shower, but how on earth can I fill the 5" gap between the bottom of the tray and the concrete floor? Need something bendy. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can buy a PVC trim from most of the main DIY stores. It is generally used to trim around windows and can be anything from 1" to around 8" wide.

Should have bought a tray with legs and panels, no worries then.

Had same problem myself. Pvc trim would be ideal if you can get some. Had difficulty finding some of appropriate size and flexibility so ended up using hardboard with white backing on one side cut to size. Fixed pieces of four-by-two(or whatevers appropriate) onto floor slightly recessed from quadrant edge so that board forms arc following quadrant shape when fitted. Screw in using mirror screws, then mastic edges. If needed access to trap in future wanted removable board, but otherwise brumylad's method looks like a neat finish. Good luck.

Why not go back to where you bought the tray and just buy the correct panel for it !

You would've thought. Didn't sell them anywhere when I looked.

Well they do sell them, just purchased one myself. I guess it depends where you go, you get (or not) what you pay for....
