Pre made shower niches

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Hi, just a quick question about the pre made shower niches that you can buy ready to be tiled.

Can these be drilled at the top to install a light?

Any advantage to getting the pre made niches vs getting my bathroom fitter to make one?

Thanks!
 
Yes they can be drilled.
Advantages? Speed, possibly cost too if the person making them is slow.
If your bathroom fitter is tiling also, then making his own can allow him to line up tile joints and fixtures to suit the niche and vice-versa.

If he isn't used to making them, then watch out! They are a potential water-trap so need 100% care with the waterproofing.
Cost-wise I would charge similar to make them, assuming a standard stud wall construction.
