About this deal
The first job is now seal up the gap between the shower tray and the wall. Using some suitable sanitary silicone, run a bead around both edges of the tray that butt up to the wall and then dampen your finger and use it to force the silicone down into the joint and then leave to cure.

Before placing the tray down in place, we first replaced the sections of flooring that had been removed that would sit under the shower tray. At the end of the tray we also created a trap door. This was simply a section of flooring that could be easily unscrewed and removed so that we could access the waste. On first inspection of the walls it was apparent that many of the tiles had come loose also so all of these were also removed. Once marked, remove the tray and put it to one side and then cut out the waste hole. In this case we cut a 6 inch hole to allow the waste to sit nicely with a slight gap around it.

Likewise with a floating timber floor, you can almost guarantee that there will be a supporting wall or other obstacle right where your new waste needs to go! Once the grout has cured you can then seal up the gap between the top of eth tray and the tiles. Use a suitable silicone, in this case we used Everbuild Forever White as we find it to be really good.Note: We always recommend that a shower tray is installed before the walls are tiled as this allows for a much more water tight joint as you can then tile down to the tray and seal it correctly.

With the tiles removed the wall was also inspected closely. Again, long term moisture ingress had caused considerable damage so we also pulled a section of wall away and replaced it.Use your sealant gun to force the sealant into the joint so that it’s fully filled and then dampen your finger and run it over the surface to both smooth it off and force it fully into the gap.
