Stone Resin Tray

[bennettp23]

Hi,

I'm looking for a 1500x800 stone resin shower tray.

I think I'm going for a Merlyn showerwall (Merlyn seems to be thought well of on here) so naturally was looking at a Merlyn tray:

Tray

Anyone got experience of the tray? Any other recommendations for stone resin white 1500 x 800 trays please?

Thanks,

Paul.

Not that particular one but I do have experience with flush fitted shower trays and formers. Most stone resin trays are ok, just make sure they are correctly moulded. When received have a good look at it and ensure there's no flaws in the moulding and that the tray is absolutely flat. Anything else and it isn't quality and needs to go back.

Also make sure it is fitted by someone that has experience fitting these, don't use a bathroom fitter or a builder or even a plumber that doesn't have experience with them, as all you will end up with is a whole host of problems.

Thanks Madrab. The tray is 30mm so I think the tiles in the picture have been flush fitted but they do not need to be but could be wrong - hope not because I don't want it flush to the floor .

Those flat faced tray would normally be fitted into a flush fitted floor as the tray doesn't have a lip on it, either as part of a larger showering space or with the screen on the outside edge with a tile. If you want the tray to sit up 30 from the floor then you would need to get clever with the screen to ensure it is watertight, it would also have to sit at least 30mm inside the tray edge.

Oh right. Any other ideas for one that will sit a little higher please?

Yes, either of those 2 will be much more suited to be sitting up off the floor
