I'm in the process of replacing my shower. The old shower tray was
just supported by two blocks of wood, and the accessibility to the
waste trap wasn't good. The joint between the tray and the wall
started to leak.
I'm thinking of installing a "Merlin" raised shower tray. This has
four adjustable feet, and a tiling 'upstander'. Does anyone have
experience of installing these, and are they stable? Would you
recommend it?

When I did mine I built a plinth much like a pallet with easy access to the
trap and set a conventional shower tray on this then clad front and side of
plinth.

It can be a bit dodgy stepping out however as the outside is significantly
lower than the inside

A duckboard type step the same height as the plinth and as it happens the
same size as the shower itself has made stepping in and out very comfortable

I've installed a Coram raised tray - solid as a rock (dabbed a small amount
of sealant under each leg to make sure it stayed put!)
