Fitting a shower tray and tiling.

I fitted a Mira Flight shower tray last week complete with tiling and Mira Excel thermostatic shower valve.
The existing installation was tired and water was leaking through the grout and running behind the tiles through to the floor and through the plaster ceiling.

A neat and better solution is to use a shower tray with the upstands and to make sure tiles are finished over the upstand edge. This way water leakage is restricted.
Another good tip is to use aqua board on walls instead of plasterboard. The board can be grip filled over the plasterboard walls and cut so that the corners are the only gaps which can be siliconed prior to tiling.

Even when grouting fails the board will provide a good seal and water will run back into the tray providing the board is over the upstand edge.

Preperation is everything here.
