Hi.
I am trying to find out some information on the safest way for me to lay a shower tray.
I have an area of 1200x1200 ready to fit a shower in my bathroom. It is an open shower (no door) with 3 walls.
I have found both a resin shower tray and a tray former that can be used.
It will be supported by a suspended timber floor.
I have been told by the person selling the tray former that it can be fitted directly to the floor, Mosaic tiles fitted on top and then the tiles from the walls dropping directly on top of that.
As long as I use a good waterproof grout and make sure it is siliconed properly I do not have to tank the area first.
I would prefer to use the former as it will look a lot better than the tray, but I don't know if the tray is a safer option in regards to possible leaks.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
