How do you find the low level tray works..walk in shower and low level tray, new
I'm very happy with the tray, which was bought and installed. It's higher than the level of the floor (a couple of inches), is the length and width of the bath it replaced, with one glass panel and a gap to walk in (no shower door).How do you find the low level tray works..
As regards water drainage or flow out on the floor,,was it a bought one or made in place.
Is there an echo in this particular bathroom?If they are getting old, you should future proof it for additional supports, like grab rails, level entry shower, shower seat, so these can be fitted later without making structural alterations.
I was gonna suggest 5k as a start-off point as all-in-all I paid a little less (probably around 3k to 3,5k) two years ago but I was getting lots of other stuff done as well in the apartment. Did you source your own and use a builder or did you go into a bathroom store ?I got my bathroom renovated late last year. New toilet, sink, replaced bath with walk in shower and low level tray, new electric shower to replace an existing one, tiled floor and most of the walls, new radiator and bathroom cabinet.
Cost me over 6k. It took 4 weeks in total to do, because there were supply problems (items from UK stuck in customs).
In fairness, there's a difference between fitting something now and future proofing so that something can be fitted with ease later.Is there an echo in this particular bathroom?
You either buy and fit them now, or wait and buy and fit them when required.In fairness, there's a difference between fitting something now and future proofing so that something can be fitted with ease later.
I used a tradesman who had done a bathroom refurb for me in another property several years ago (he was a contractor with one of the bathroom shops at that time). He worked on a supply and fit basis, so sourced everything I needed.I was gonna suggest 5k as a start-off point as all-in-all I paid a little less (probably around 3k to 3,5k) two years ago but I was getting lots of other stuff done as well in the apartment.

You don't want to be drilling through all your nice tiling in a few years time, with the risk of cracking a tile. Plan ahead.You either buy and fit them now, or wait and buy and fit them when required.
The designs and mounting positions of these items evolves continuously, and there are no standards, so it would make very little sense to install fittings for items like grab rails now that may no longer be available when it comes to fit them. The fixture points would also be unsightly and may suffer water damage.
You have two choices:You don't want to be drilling through all your nice tiling in a few years time, with the risk of cracking a tile. Plan ahead.
The other option is to design your tiling (or non-tiling) around your future plans, and ensure that you can fit grab rails, show seat and more without drilling tiles at all.You have two choices:
- Drill through them now and leave an ugly hole or fixture visible and risk water penetration damage to the substrate. Then drill some more holes in the correct locations later and try to bodge some filler on the holes you drilled in the wrong spots.
- Wait until you need to install the supports and just drill the holes you need where you need them.
There is no advantage whatsoever in drilling now. It saves zero work, looks amateur and will still leave work to be done when it comes to fitting.
Unless you're using small mosaic tiles and get lucky, it's simply not possible to future plan tile alignment to ensure that a hold would only require mounting points to be drilled along joints. Many of the grab rails use three fixings in a triangular pattern at each end.The other option is to design your tiling (or non-tiling) around your future plans, and ensure that you can fit grab rails, show seat and more without drilling tiles at all.
