Cut wall or cut tray

[DAVIDF]

Hi,

I'm having one end of my bathroom made into a wetroom, I have a retired professional tiler to do the job, unfortunately wetrooms were not in vogue when he was working, so he's are following the instruction leaflet.

Everything's gone well so far, the subfloor drain and the marine ply subfloor for the wetroom tray are fitted, and all the remaining floor has been replaced with marine ply.

Unfortunately after we had done all this preparetory work there was a problem with one of the walls and we had to get a plasterer to redo the plaster.

This has reduced the recess for the shower tray in one dimension by 10mm, so the tray is now too big. There seems to be two solutions, either cut a 10mm channel in the bottom of the wall, or trim 10mm of the end of the tray.

Anyone got any idea which of these is the best solution?

Regards,, DAVID F

Depending on what tray you have and do you intend to tank over the ply...ditra etc.

These may be worth a call for any bits you may need http://www.phgwetrooms.co.uk/

I don't know the tray make, it's a white hard plastic like center about 20mm thick with a grey surface each side with a woven mat embedded; if that's any help. It was supplier with a complete tanking kit with primer, corner/edge tape and pipe membrane and waterproofing fluid.
I feel that trimming the tray would be easier, but I don't want to risk cutting it if it may ruin the edge. Cutting a grove in the new plaster would leave a much more ragged edge that will need sealing.

I don't know the tray make but it consists of a white plastic about 20mm thick sandwiched between two 1mm grey surfaces with an embedded web.

I purchased it as part of a kit with the tray, primer, corner/edge tape and tap panels. and intend to completely tank the area when the tray is fitted.
