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. HTH John |

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

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! HTH John |
