No shower since the 2nd of May?? i'm surprised you were brave enough to look at the pipes afterwards they must have been black lol.

It's a pleasure Les, Keep inspecting it once in a while just to make sure no teething problems occur but if it's fine now it should be fine for a long time.

Good luck to you mate, i'm pleased you enjoyed it and are happy with the end result

Hi Les

It's been a while since the showerroom got started but we are now at the stage of fitting the door. I notice all the shower doors are in from the edge of the tray and I think ours is going to look daft as you are only going to see about 1" of tiling outside the shower cubicle as we have only tiles the 3 wall areas around the shower tray.

Is it imperative that the door be centred on the rim of the tray.?

Hi Les

Is it imperative that the door be centred on the rim of the tray.?

There may be others better qualified than I am to reply but provided that the door frame can be sealed to the wall tiles and the rim of the tray, whether it is exactly centred or not shouldn't matter. I have just had a look at mine and the bottom is forward of centre of the tray rim because the verticals are not symmetrical inside and out. I guess the answer has to depend on the particular door you have to some extent.

Have a look at the picture I posted and see if it helps you make up your mind.

most shower screens are set back between 10mm & 25mm from the outside edge........ But as long as your happy that wherever you set it it is watertight you will be fine.

Most shower trays have a slight raise on the outside edge so if your setting your your screen more towards the inside edge just make sure it opens and closes smoothly

Oh yeah and when it comes to runing your Silicon around the shower screen just do the inside edges only (Obviously leaving the door opening so you can get in and out lol) INSIDE ONLY!
