Y'know, i've watched other shower tray installation videos and they all looked well beyond my diy skills, so i gave up on the idea. This looks entirely doable and well within my skillset. I sometimes think some so-called diy videos are done by professionals who make it look much more complicated than necessary in order to put people off attempting to diy such things. Great video mate.
Thanks. You explained everything that is really important in first minute. to level the tray, first set all corners and then just bring down the middle legs.
Glad it was helpful! Your option is a good one. I was on ground floor with solid screeded floor so had no option. If it was upstairs I would have done just that. Best of luck with it!
dont laugh.. I accidentally managed to unscrew the shower waste when I was trying to retrieve a lost diamond earring - I was only trying to get the sliver plug thing out! ). With the help of some silicone it's all back working :)
The corrugations in the flexible waste will trap all sorts of gunk which is why in most places they are against the regulations, better to make up some pipe with fittings to get the shape you want, wouldn't take long.
I agree they are not perfect but in this situation they served a purpose and it is easily accessible if I need to remove it to clean or replace. So far so good!
OK but I tend to use solvent weld on the waste where the joins will be totally inaccesible after the tray is fitted/tiled-up etc. Nice presentation - thanks!
Hi, that makes sense but in this installation the plinth is removable so access can be gained in the event of a leak so all good. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
6 years of "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FRAME FROM god i could do with that riser kit right now ... A N Y I D E A AT ALL ? Best ive found is wirquin feet from bnq
Another well explained video so thanks again. Don't think I will use the flexi pipe though as its likely to clog up more easily, especially if it sags slightly.
Why is it intellectually challenged people feel they have to turn to insults or pathetic put downs to try to boost their egos? You've obviously never lived in a household with females, and if you have, they were/are obviously completely bald! I will leave that there and see if you can work it out for yourself. And seeing as I'm the only person ever to have had a blocked shower or bath I will be contacting The Guinness Book of Records.......
Hi, Great video, Just had our shower fitted by recommended professionals. I checked and the outer edges are level, but, the water after a shower, puddles just stands there, although the outer edges drain away. Any ideas. The installer says this happens often!
Hi Brian, unfortunately on some showers that is the case. It's just a poor design I guess. You just have to give it a wipe down after your shower! Sorry if that's no help. Thanks for watching!
Great video, I've already fitted my shower wet wall before my basin , I've been told my basin needs to fit under my wet wall to give a good seal🤔 Do I need to cut a piece off my wet wall to accommodate or should I just crack on and use loads of sealant? thanks.
If it's possible I would cut a piece off as that way you are not relying soley on the sealant. If you only rely on the sealant, then it is at more risk of leaking when the sealant gets old. Hope that helps. Good luck with the project and thanks for watching!
I have a square metal frame coming soon, do you think you could still bed a tray onto a sheet of ply if you attached the ply to the frame first? For that extra stability
You probably could yes but if you're using the plinth supplied it might not cover the full depth of tray, legs and plywood. If you're making your own then fine. Use marine ply in case it gets wet. If you're using wood then you could just make your own riser kit out timber. The idea of the kit is it's quick and easily adjustable. Best of luck with it.
Hi James, you are right! I filmed that bit before I propped it up. I secured a block of wood under it to ensure there was a gradual drop from the waste all the way to the main soil pipe. Good eagle eyes! Glad you found it useful and thanks for watching!
Can you use other trays with the frame? As Bathstore have gone into administration and only have the gram I need and not the tray. Appreciate your help.
Not entirely sure. I would buy a frame that fits the correct tray. You can build the tray up on timber if you don't want to use a frame. Thanks for watching.
The upper & lower curved track supports the sliding glass doors but they all seem to look flimsy. The lower curved track is supported by the waste tray. but the curved top track is weaker.. Is there a minimum & maximum weight for the curved track?
Hi Rob. To be honest I'm not sure. You are right, the frames are quite flexible and rely on the fixings to the wall and strength of the shower tray for support. You would have to check with the manufacturer of the shower quadrant you purchase I guess as they will all vary in strength. But the glass and slide rails are not heavy duty by any stretch. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Ok thanks.. I wanted to buy or create a glass corner wardrobe but I decided to improvise & use a chrome corner shower unit. I made a base unit which is raised 300mm from the floor & suspended off unistrut bracket and I fixed some white mdf sheets to the adjoining walls. My base unit is only supporting the glass doors & lower curved frame as I will not be standing on it or in it.But I think i'll use some thin steel wire rope at intervals on the upper curved frame for extra support & also prevent distortion. A quad shaped sliding drawer will also be constructed to fit under the base unit & i'll also add some l.e.d lighting at a later stage.
hi great vid,very helpful,anyway my query is...ive got a twyford shower tray thats 45mm,the trap adds a further 80mm,its going onto a concrete floor,the riser kit thats recommended with the tray is not a frame,just legs etc...will this allow room for the trap? i wanted the frame riser from bathstore,but on the pec,it says height 18mm,surely this aint enough?
Hi there, you will need to know the maximum height the legs adjust to. You can raise the tray up and down. But as you say, be careful as with a concrete floor this is little room for maneuver. On a wooden floor, you can cut a bit off floor board to sink the trap in. 18mm doesn't sound right to me, the riser in the video is 100mm tall and the height is dictated by the plinth that comes with it so just check the measurements as it sounds like they've been printed wrong on the advert. Hope that helps. Good luck and thanks for watching!
ive checked again,its my error,the riser comes with a ply board on top of the frame for extra support,the ply is 18mm,the riser frame is more than high enough,thanks for your replie.
Will review waste from because its not at an angle so it can flow? Plus the flexible waste pipe is bent downward then back up so please explain to me how that will flow? I'm doing my own shower replacing my bath
Hi there, I think some of this is to do with the camera angle. The waste tilts slightly down so flow is fine. As for the flexible pipe, i did prop a small block of wood under the pipe to lift it slightly after filming but I think the camera makes it look worse. It all flows well. The angle is shallow due to the height of the existing pipe work but it works well. If it didn't I'd have my shower full of waste water! Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Hi there, I bought it from Bath Store. I have to say I think the kits where the legs attach directly to the shower tray are easier to install. I would also recommend paying a bit more and getting the fiberglass/resin based shower tray like the one in my video. They are lot more solid than the plastic trays and work better with a riser kit. Hope that helps. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE My shower seems to be built this way - tiling done after. I'm getting water leaking out the corners from where the tile was cut at the point where it meets the riser/tray. Any ideas how to silicone this up?
We have just had a quadrant shower installed and there is a leak betwen metal shower frame and the shower tray at the bottom. Is there meant to be some kind of adhesive between the tray and frame. There seems to be movement between the two as it is currently just sitting on it
It should be attached to the frame. I uses gripfill but you could sealant or something similar. If it is loose then I would say it has been fitted the wrong way. It should be secure. Any movement will cause sealant to break and allow water in. Sorry to hear that but I would call the installer back to fix. Thanks for watching
If the leak is between the shower tray and the frame then the leak is elsewhere. There should be no water between the frame and the tray, but it should be sealed to it.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Hello....I know this is a long shot but..! I've refloored our shower room and the new floor is higher than previous one. How do I successfully cut down the height of the plinth please, so that it goes under the tray? Thank you.
I have an existing shower tray which is not level. It slants down slightly towards the corner, as a result water pools up and doesn't drain away properly. Is it possible to access and adjust the legs of the frame near the wall to make them higher and level out the surface? If this is impossible I will leave it or get someone to replace the whole tray unit.
It should be possible yes, but if you have tiles which have been tiled right down to the shower tray then when you lift the shower tray up, it is likely to break your tiles OR it may not physically move upwards as the tiles will stop it from moving. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
Good Video, I have to replace my old shower tray so been watching alot of vids. Can I ask were you got the metal frame riser kit, been looking for one but I can only find the plastic feet riser kits?
Hi there, the plinth came as part of the shower tray riser kit. They are available in most bathroom / plumbing stores. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
I bought it from bath store but I think they have closed now. There are other similar kits on the market that are fitted in a similar way. Hope that help.
You can. I tiled mine up to the feet of the shower try. That way plinth sat on tiles but I didn't waste money on tiles that would never be seen. Thanks for watching.
Bathstore but I think they've closed now. There are others on the market where plastic legs screw straight into the base of shower tray which might even be better. Hope you find what you're looking for.
It was from bathstore. Shower tray and riser kit. You can drain the pipe work to your foul drainage if you have the right height. You may need to change the existing pipework behind your toilet though. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Hi Seamus, thanks for the feedback. The riser kit and the tray were from Bathstore. You can check it out online - www.bathstore.com/search/go?w=shower%20tray%20riser&view=grid. Good luck with it and thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Your shower tray and plinth look very good quality. Where did you get them from? I need one 1200 x 800 left corner entry. Also would it not be better to tile the walls first them fit the shower?
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Be careful with these frames. They can be out of square putting undue forces on the shower tray. Because they are metal they distort during welding unless held firmly during the process. If you are unlucky enough to have one that is uneven, good luck sending it back to Bathstore if thats where you got it from. Once the box has been opened they don't want to know. Quite how you are supposed to check it without opening the box is anyones guess.
Well spotted. I filmed this with it the wrong way round and noticed it before I boxed the pipe work in. So rest assured it is in the correct way now. I didn't mention it in the video as I thought no one would notice so thanks for spotting it! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Anybody know how to create the frame and screw-in feet - this is one business opportunity missed. Once every ten year couple o hundred quid - offer personal frame to match the trays available.
I recently installed one of these. Absolutely terrible riser kit. When the frame was all bolted together none of the top lengths of the metal were level with one another. No nuts provided to hold the bolts together just threaded internals of the frame and literally only 2 threads. Had to drill new holes so it sat flush once bolted together and then use nuts to make good. Shower tray was bowed too had to use a huge amount of grab adhesive. Why don't customers speak to their installer first before buying first rate rubbish?
Hi there, mine worked out in the end but you're right, it wasn't the easiest to install. I think the trays with large plastic screw in feet are better and take less time to secure. Although it sounds like you had a raw deal, all my parts were present. There's also several manufacturers making similar looking stuff, some good some bad so it's pot luck sometimes. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching

Hi Neil - it was from bathstore. Thanks for watching.
You never showed us how to fit the shower screen
The footage is somewhere. Never got round to editing it sorry. Thanks for watching.
Jesus who did that skimming in the background?
I did, but left it rough at bottom as I was tiling over it. Check out my tile a wall video and you'll see what I mean! Thanks for watching.
Your underwear matches your shirt!
Well spotted, but it wasn't intentional! Thanks for watching and good luck with your projects.
It doesn't fit.its sticking out in places and going in . It's not the right form for the shower tray.
Well it's in my bathroom and it looks fine to me. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!
pretty useless unless you tell us where to buy this kit.

That 'T' piece from the shower is the wrong way around and will back-up.
Well spotted, I shifted it around the right way when I noticed it but forgot to film it. Someone else spotted that too a few years ago. Thanks for watching.
