've read about some stuff called M.E.K. solvent cement, it's apparantly
sold primarily for sealing a plastic shower tray to the wall, but is also
used for plastic shower tray repairs,

MEK is a colourless clear solvent used for cleaning certain plastics
purposes. I doubt it will solve your problem. A sealant that contains
MEK might do it.

Firstly find out what plastic your shower is made of. Some are Styrene
some are Glass Re-inforced Polyester. Bit difficult to tell the
difference I will admit.

The shower tray is very light weight, it seems to be a vacuum formed plastic
item,
i cant get access to the underside without ripping the entire shower
enclosure out, as the wall boards overlap the tray's outer lip,

i was going to inject some expanding foam between the tray sides and the
walls of the van around the cubicle, through the cracks in the tray, so
that's give a re-inforced tray i hope, why i never did this when i put the
tray in i dont know, makes sense now,

the stuff i've seen on ebay is here...

i guess if it does the job it's worth every penny, i was just hoping to be
able to go into a shop and get it, or something similar rather than pay 6
quid postage for an item that'll cost about 2 quid to post,

i had thought of fiberglassing the entire shower cubicle, but that'd be a
big job, and i've never glassed before, so don't really want to practise on
the area that will show up the imperfections big time... and leak if i get
the mixes wrong, losts of complex curves in the shower tray and all that
too.
