Product Information

Not all shower trays are low profile, in fact, raised shower trays are very popular. They are great at keeping water from leaking out of the shower zone in your bathroom. Learning how to fit a raised shower tray is easier than fitting low profile options and perfect for beginners. It is important that you take the time to properly fit your shower tray as there are many potential issues if this is not done correctly. If the shower tray is not fitted correctly there is a risk of leaks, water damage, water stains, plaster damage, damp, wood rot to flooring and floor joists, water pooling, poor drainage and damage to the tray. As such, if at any stage you become confused or are unsure how to proceed, please speak to a professional. Some people feel like this is admitting defeat, but it is a really wise decision to prevent future problems. Looking for a trusted tradesperson in your area? Please use our free search feature. Cut a hole for the shower tray waste. Ensure your measurements are accurate and once completed, proceed with assembly. There are actually two main types of shower tray; those that are low-profile (or flat), and those that are on risers (or adjustable). The difference between them is that the former needs the waste to be installed into your flooring, and the latter has the waste above ground but under the shower floor.

Shower trays are versatile and functional, but they can also change the look and feel of your shower. Whether you’re looking for an aesthetic upgrade, a better-quality tray, or to replace a leaking tray, learning how to fit a shower tray correctly is important. A poorly fitted or low-quality shower tray will end up costing you more in terms of fixing leaks, repairs and eventually the tray will need to be replaced. The best place to start is with planning and preparation. This is vital if you are looking for perfect, long-lasting results. Start by ensuring the area where you will be fitting your shower tray is clean and stable. This will prevent issues further down the line. Using silicone sealant, run a line along the edges of the tray, to ensure no water can get underneath, once the shower is in use. There are three main things you need to look for when you are buying your shower – the enclosure, the tray, and the showerhead. We already have guides for the enclosures and showerheads, and now it is time to sort out the perfect tray for your perfect bathroom. There will be two rubber washers attached to the waste (one for above the shower tray, and one for below), remove both.Now, using the shower tray’s waste hole as a template, mark the concrete where the waste is to be positioned.

It can be difficult to prevent tile damage during this process as for correct shower installation, tiles are always fitted after the shower tray. This helps to prevent water leakage and weak spots. If the tiles have not been discontinued, you could consider carefully removing the lower levels, directly above the tray, then replacing the tiles after installation. If you suffer from mobility issues this may not be the best option for you as your shower tray will be higher than usual. Want to know how to install a shower tray on legs?

Fit the trap cover onto the top of the tray and then pour water around the waste area, and directly into the waste. Through the access hatch you positioned next to the tray, connect the waste trap to the outlet pipe (it is a good idea to keep the access hatch for future maintenance if required).
