Default Shower room / shower tray refurb

HI

I'm guessing that these slimline shower trays want supporting across
the whole area..? (less the bit where the waste fits!)


Is it a cast resin/stone one or plastic?

Plastic trays are rubbish altogether - I haven't seen one yet that's
lasted anything like a cast one and even if they don't get cracked or
holed they just never feel solid enough.

Skinny cast ones also need proper support, but the end result is
definitely worth the extra effort. That's the difference, imo - you go
to a lot of trouble to make a plastic one feel ok, but it's still ****
in the long run.


Think its a form of plastic.... looked reasonably strong in the shop -
I'll just make sure that it's sitting on someting fairly firm...
