Replacing a shower tray

[hansov]

Not a happy bunny here but anyways.... We (its amazing how it can be turned around to "we") had a slight(!) accident with our shower tray and it needs replacing. And don't start me but so does the tiling:mad: . Anybody know how do I unlock the plug hole? Is is screwed into the trap below?

Lift up shower tray, put a few pieces of wood underneath and unscrew from below.
When fitting new tray put masking tape where the tiles will meet the tray and spray foam between tray and the corner.
Then shove the tray tight against the wall.
When the foam starts to get a little bit hard pull off the masking tape and you will get a waterproof seal and no foam on your new tray.
When fitting a new trap I always use clear silicone instead of the hairy washer, I also put silicone where the pipe goes into the trap for a better seal

Thanks Touch wood. When you say foam what are you referring to.

Did you find out what foam Touchwood referred to?

 

[hansov]

No, still don't know what Touchwood meant. Anybody else any idea?

Probably best to send Touchwood a PM to catch their attention.

The same liquid expanding foam that they use when they put in windows or to fill up holes in a wall.
