Shower tray 4mm out of level — would you risk fitting the enclosure?

[Johnnyk]

I’d really appreciate some advice from anyone who has fitted shower enclosures where the tray wasn’t perfectly level.

I’ve got a 1200 × 760 mm stone-resin shower tray. The tray is solid and properly supported, but I’ve measured a 4 mm steady drop along the 1200 mm side from one end to the other, towards the drain. The low end is where the door opening needs to be.

The other complication is that the wall on the 760 mm side is about 5 mm out of plumb, with the top of the wall leaning approximately 5mm into the shower.

I’m looking for an enclosure that would possibly work the only stipulation is it is the colour being black. I appreciate all manufacturers’ instructions say the tray should be level, so I realise technically I’m outside the manufacturer’s stated criteria.

Is there a particular type/brand of enclosure that is more tolerant of this sort of situation? As I really don’t want to pull the tray out.

So what would you do?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

I practise it isn't really a problem when running to the waste outlet. The wall leaning in a bit will compensate for the door frame not being quite level, don't see any issues to be honest.

Obviously take it into account when fitting the wall finish.

Thanks Denso for the reply. It was getting the door on enclosure to close properly with the tray being 4mm out of level on the 1200mm edge. I haven’t fitted a shower enclosure before and just worried if there is enough adjustment to take up the 4mm gap.
I am guessing a sliding door would give me the best chance?

Some enclosures and screens have a chanel that fixes to the wak and the frame then slides into it and can accomodate the wall not being plumb. You would need to look for one like that though as I have no recomendations

Thanks JJ for the reply would the 4 mm drop cause a problem getting the door to seal and run correctly

No, the door is inside the 1200mm frame, it will lean out from the wall at the top but there is usually plenty of adjustment in the wall channel.

Ordered a Merlyn Mbox as had plenty of adjustment.
Thanks for the help.
