Shower Cubicle
 
Could someone tell me what sort of a craftsman would fit a Shower
Cubicle?? I've been told a carpenter, but a couple I've rang say they
don't do it.

Thanks

Ah... the labour charge would be reasonable but travel time and expenses
would kill the job!! I was in Cork in September on holiday I could have
done it then. Look for a bathroom fitter, plumber, tiler, general handyman
rather than a carpenter.

Any advice on fitting shower trays please. I am about to re-fit our
en-suite. Are they just on legs?

Some are on legs others are 'flat bottomed' to be laid on a sand & cement
bed. Google this group and you will find lots of advice and opinions.

My advice is, if you aren't too confident in the work, buy a tray with
adjustable legs and tiling upstands. The legs make fitting the waste and
getting levels right a doddle, and the upstands give peace of mind, after
tiling, in the integrity of the seal around the edge. The disadvantage is
you lose some height, but in most cases this shouldn't be a problem.

The last one I had was flat-bottomed and required a hold to be cut in
the floor to accomodate the trap and waste pipe.

Or you could have built a platform at the relevant height (usually 3 to 4
inches) so you can get to and inspect the trap etc periodically!
