Shower Tray Replacement in Witney
A cracked or leaking shower tray can allow water to escape under the tiles and into the floor below.
If the tray is damaged or moving under weight, replacing it properly is usually the only long-term solution.
I replace shower trays and rebuild the surrounding installation where necessary to ensure the shower is completely watertight.
Signs your shower tray may need replacing
• cracks appearing in the tray
• movement when standing on the tray
• water leaking outside the shower area
• damp ceiling below the bathroom
• repeated sealant failure around the tray
These problems are often caused by poor support under the tray or movement in the floor structure.
How a shower tray replacement is carried out
-
Remove the shower screen and existing tray
-
Inspect the waste connection and floor structure
-
Install a properly supported shower tray
-
Re-tile or install wall panels where required
-
Re-seal and test the installation
If water has penetrated behind the tiles, the affected plasterboard or wall boards may need replacing before the shower tray and wall finish can be installed properly. This ensures the new installation is solid and properly waterproofed.
I carry out shower tray replacement and bathroom installations in Witney, Carterton, Bampton, Eynsham and surrounding West Oxfordshire villages.
Example of a shower tray that had been installed on expanding foam and timber offcuts, which caused movement and eventually leaks.
Shower trays must be installed on a solid, level base to prevent movement and leaks.
