Spare Tool

So for anyone interested I went back to see job on Tues, ended up there for 4 hours, cut out and regrouted and sealed tray as hair line cracks all over the place, and grout crumbling round drain, builder agreed its the joist drying out twisted the tray, he wasn't and i wasn't sure if the waste had seep holes in it so we think the tray was filling up under tiles and water finding its way out somewhere, note to self to extend tanking a lot further past shower area in future..anyhow she's been using shower all week and alls good...my guarantee has definitely run out now as didn't even get a cheers, merry Christmas, here's a bottle of wine for your troubles :(

Spare Tool

I've learnt this year - it doesn't pay to try and save a few quid with generic foam-core trays.
I'll always use Wedi or Schluter trays now. Last two cheaper ones I had were both bent and I've lost all confidence in them now.
Id say whichever tray was used on this particular job wouldn't have made any difference from the amount of twisting from the joists, its solid but the floor had moved so much it had split the silicone round the whole room and opened up a 5mill gap in some places..only difference as far as the leak goes would have been seep holes in waste

you're far too nice then Andy! If I'd seen movement like that, I'd simply have said 'not my fault guv! '
