Thanks so much for the continued support of the channel....SO SO close to the 30k subs.. Get subscribed if your not all ready...

For the cost of a new bar shower I would replace that mate because it’s hot odd pipe Centers and I would imagine getting spares for it in the future will be fun

I been bedding them on foam for a while now , I only prefer this way as if the floors out I can pre level tray with spacers and drop it back on to them knowing it’s bang on

Good stuff Mark

Hi Mark. Thought the customer would start from scratch. Now it can be good job instead of a nightmare. Can’t wait to see it finished. You do it your way mate. If works for you stick with it. Have a good weekend 👍

Thanks for the video Mark, puts me off buying a new house when you see things like this as i would be always wondering what horrors are lurking unseen but it will be fine after youve worked your magic

Get rid of that shower and convince them to have a standard bar shower with 150 centres, you know they'll thank you long term

Hi Mark, am loving your channel, it is SO watchable as you explain everything with clarity, you also come across as a very conscientious and good man, which is always great to see. When I watch these kind of videos on youtube, I often wonder what the completion price was, but this is often not mentioned. I appreciate that this is actually none of our business as a viewer, but ball park figures/typical costs are interesting for viewers, and I wondered what your thoughts on this were. I hate the fact that you get the odd negative comment on here, some folks are just plain weird!! Anyway, keep up the fantastic videos :)

Nothing wrong with using silicone, no nails, pink grip etc to bed resin trays and I think most manufacturers will now approve this method in their instructions I recently installed a Mira resin tray and the instructions stated that any suitable building adhesive was acceptable 👍

Good shout using that sealant/adhesive. I use Plumbers Gold for bedding trays onto smooth sheet flooring. Anyone thinking of using Ordinary acetoxy silicone please note it will NOT adhere to green chipboard.

Hello Mark, many years ago whilst working for Warwick District Council as a chippie all bath panels were white hardboard with studding behind, (possibly 50 bathroom's at a time) much easier for cutting around pipes, slotted into the bath groove with a skirting to match existing along the bottom to trap it all in, one of the plumbers I worked with at the time was Nigel Barnett who now runs his own company in Southam I am led to believe

@MJTiffPlumbing

I’ve took a few of those hardboard panels off over the years mate 😉👍🏼👍🏼

Mate…should of swapped the shower out when you had the chance. If it needs replacing in the future it’s tiles off again if going to 150 centres 😢

Much Better! Good work dude... I always like to think you should be able to use a shower without tiling , so if the qrout or silicone fail you dont have another shower downstairs.. but 15 years without leaks wasn't bad

Mark, How many tubes of the sealant did you use on the bottom of the tray? I might try this in my bathroom next year. I am thinking of buying a 800 x 1200 tray. I wanted 900 x 1200 but it’s going into an alcove at one end so too wide. I am having trouble finding a 850 x 1200 tray locally. Great video as usual. Thanks. 👍

Hi Mark, The job is coming on nicely now and you don’t appear to be having any major problems 🤞. Great decision to re tile it will look much better, I can’t remember seeing a shower with such close centres before? I have fitted shower trays much the same as you do with no problems at all and never had a call back to a shower tray or bath. The 30k is very close now, it will be fantastic to see you reach that milestone. I look forward to the next episode, as always take care, regards, Chris. 👍👍👍

For all you apprentices out there. When you have more movement in the tray than the flexible tolerance of the silicone sealant sealing the tiles to the tray will allow then you will get a hairline crack along the first row of grout lines. Simple fix in this case would be to simply tighten the back left hand corner leg, stick a grout removing blade on your multi tool and remove the said grout line along with the silicone sealant along the tray. Tiles would be removed without damaging. Replace saturated plasterboard with backer board, soak tiles to remove old adhesive and replace. Simples. Appreciate in this example the costomer wanted a low profile tray so it had to come out regardless.

I did a similar job a while back i ended up leaving old tiles on .took old tray out filled back with odd tiles ...fitted new tray tanked and mermaid board straight ontop of tiles ....pretty simple fix ....

These ones are brilliant…. Lifted some very big trays

i only ever fitted one flush shower tray. that was an 1800mm x 800mm. because of the voids underneath i used a sand cement mixture with flexible tile adhesive. the silicone wouldn't have worked to give it good full bed. i watched a video a few years back and the guy only fits mira flight trays now as the one he fitted cracked in the video.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter how you tank it provided it complies with building regs requirements for tanking showers. Outside of that it doesn't matter as there are so many different products out there that there's equally as many methods depending what you're using.

Great stuff as always, just out of interest, what is your process for bedding a tray when the floor isn't bang on level, I personally use flexible tile adhesive so that if i need to i can bed it up in certain areas, its the way I was taught and have always done it but if theres an easier way using your method im always keen to learn.
