Tray swap completed today đż
Customer called us to replace an existing shower tray that was displaying multiple cracks.
After removal of the old tray, the cause of the problem was revealed. Floorboards under the tray were missing, a joist had suffered from rot, the tray hadnât been seated correctly, neither had it been levelled or sufficiently secured in place.
To remedy these issues weâŚ
â˘Removed all existing floorboards under the tray area
â˘Cut into the brickwork to insert a new length of timber to secure the rotten joist.
â˘Added timber reinforcement to the weakened joist.
â˘Installed a new shower trap.
â˘Levelled the area.
â˘Fitted a sheet of 18mm ply as a secure, level base for the new tray.
â˘Installed a slightly shorter tray so that it could be manoeuvred into place without having to remove existing wallboards, keeping costs to a minimum for the customer.
â˘Installed a decor trim to seal and conceal the resulting small gap.
â˘Refitted the original shower screen.
â˘And finished off by fully resealing the shower area.
