About two thirds through our extension build, (not diy!), and needing
to buy or specify lots of fittings.
Does anyone have any recommendations or advice for shower trays?
DT Render seem to have the size we need, (1000 x 900mm)

- anyone with any experience of this manufacturer, good or bad?

===================================
I'm (hopefully) just coming to the end of my bathroom refit and I've
built my own shower cubicle based on a 'Coram' shower tray. These trays
have a 1" upstand on 3 sides which almost completely eliminates the
possibility of water leaking at the base of your tiling. Having seen the
advantages of the upstand, I wouldn't consider a flat top tray unless
there were special circumstances requiring it.

Cic,

There is no problem with a "flat top" shower base (if you don't use a
plastic one that is) with regards to sealing if you use though and care
during the installation - the biggest problem (especially with DiY fitting),
is the absolute reliance that people seem to have in a silicone mastic seal.

My plumber always likes to put in a shower base with an upstand but he
only told me after I had bought one without ... Screwfix do a separate
upstand seal

Has anyone used one of these and how was it?
