[ Can anyone advise on the best way to get the tray out... From looking at my unit I'll have to work from the top down. Advice on attachment methods would help too.]

Hi Andy
Send me a PM with you email address and will send you photos &
Info on how I did mine if this would be of any help, each bathroom shower tray is different but the basic method of fitting is the same stuck in with silicone.

We've got a fairly complicated crack in our shower tray, which also runs underneath all the washroom cupboards and the bog, so would be a nightmare to remove. Have tried various patented gloops and magic mystery cures and while everything seems watertight at the moment I'd feel a lot more comfortable with a 'proper' repair.

Someone on here recommended a firm called Branfibre and I've had a quote from them for 'around £175 plus VAT' to put a new layer of glass fibre over the tray while it's in situ. They're near Banbury and I'm going to have it done as soon as I can find time to take the MH over there.

if you want to take a look. If anyone has any experience of using them it would be good to know.

I have just had similar damage repaired to my shower tray, I found Home Revive - 07807 86 85 24 whom mostly deal with homes which aren't of the mobile variety. They (well its just one guy actually!) did a fantastic repair to the shower and he also sorted two long standing chips on the worktop for me too, you'd never know the damage had been there, excellent service! Seems they don't have website but does have email address -

If only........................... Rolling Eyes

I recently replaced our tray which was VERY firmly attached to the floor with a generous helping of the very best PU adhesive ever invented. The tray itself took about four hours to get out after removing all the bits and bobs to get at it and it must have come out in about a hundred tiny pieces. Apart from that, the job is fairly simple, just a case of stripping all the bits out of the bathroom and then replacing them all again afterwards.

my brother in law, who fits showers, tiling, flooring etc... suggested a simple repair to be covering with a layer of "screed" (does that sound right) to ensure the base is level and waterproof and then with some high contact adhesive putting down a piece of non-slip flooring on top..

would that work?
