Great video, I wish the cowboys who did my wetroom had seen this. I'll be following it when I re do it.
Thank you so much for all your work!!!!!!!
Hi Roger, as a keen DIY’er and a retired electrician, I’ve watched many of your videos relating to installing a level access shower. Your “mock-ups” are in absolutely perfect conditions but have you ever tried it in a 1970’s built house with tongue & groove floorboards (always were the enemy of electrician doing retires etc.) as I am presently “attempting”. It definitely is a different tin of worms from your videos!
I reckon (for what it's worth) Rogers seen it all and climbed every greasy rung of the ladder so we don't have to. If you haven't already, it's worth watching his recent bathroom and shower room series. I find his knowledge in all aspects is second to none, let alone the trades he's experienced with.
Hope you get that job under the TG floor sorted right, someone's got to do it, sorry it's you but probably better someone that cares like yourself.
Ours is an 1800s build with similar, the old hand cast nails etc.
Very informative, no messing.
Great video. May I ask what was used in the gap between the tile and shower drain @ 11m50 seconds) in this video? Is it grout ?
Great presentation.
Can you take the click lock off the bottom of the tray once it's clicked in ?
Hi, excellent video just like your velux fitting ones. On this video you have the tile backer board being installed prior to the tray, I have seen other instructional videos where it is fixed in after the tray is fitted. Is there a set way or can it be either?
Thanks
brilliant - well explained.
Brilliant 👏🏾
How would you continue the fall with the piece of flooring as you say. It looks a like your element boards. Do you continue the fall by creating it with your adhesive underneath?
If the tray former is a flat 30mm tray, where do you get your fall towards the drain from?
You are the Jason Statham of Plumbers :D
Great video, it inspired me to buy the same system. I have to shorten the shower tray by 100mm, what do I do about the tile lines? Would you mark to the original corners first before cutting? Or draw lines to the new corners? Thanks
You would need to mark the original corners as this corresponds to the manufactured fall lines.
What mortar is used to fix the tray to the sun floor?
Brakes my heart seeing someone use a pH (gyproc) bit to screw in a pz screw
Does abacus sell wetrooms for concrete?
Hi can I do the same on I-Joists ?
When you offset the former to miss a joist, what are you infilling with on top of the floor as teh former is 30mm think? Do you put a flat cut tile on here or continue the fall of the tray and do you cut your tiles to a new line? If putting a fall on, what happens to the next tile as it will have a step at the joint will it not?
Looks like he used 10mm elements board to bring the sub floor level with the former so just use whatever you are using to bring your floor level up
I tried to use Abacus materials but neither my supplier nor phoning could illicit a response from their, so called, customer support!
Sorry to hear that Icaros. If you'd like to drop us a line at enquiries@abacus-bathrooms.co.uk we'll endeavor to help!
Would it be harder with porcelain tiles?
Be the same job with any tile to be fair a decent wet saw to split the tiles and I always polish the cut edges to make them perfect
