Hi what are peoples opinions on installing stone resin shower trays on legs? Is there any thing to be aware of/ tips? Iv always bedded them on sand and cement but due to the joist running the wrong way I won't be able to this, this time.

As long as the manufacturer sells legs for them,and you use those then you are fine . - I think the issue with them being bedded flat on the floor is not so much that they can't take the weight suspended but that the base underneath might not be perfectly flat - nor the bottom of the tray - so one it might rock and you might get a point load that might cause it too crack.
If you prefer a flat base and mortar, the build a plinth from 2x4/3x2 and top with 18mm ply and lay on that
Well, I've installed one 
in a friends house, it seemed perfectly solid afterwards and is still going strong.
Can't see any reason why putting on floorboard should be a problem as long as they are sound. Again you could put a bit of ply down first if you were bothered

Buy a kudos tray and plinth kit
Or before that existed I used to build a base from 4x2 and tongue and groove floor boarding to get the waste out.
Then I gave up doing bathrooms
