Tiled Shower Tray Installation in Fenton
Specialist wall and floor tiling — including large-format and stone.
A tiled shower tray looks better than a resin one, and lasts longer — but only when the substrate, tanking and falls are all right. Get the fall wrong and you get standing water; get the tanking wrong and you get a slow leak into the ceiling below.
We form the tray with pre-fall boards, tank with a manufacturer's kit (not paint-on layered up), and set the linear drain at 12mm below finished tile so water clears in under 3 seconds.
Bathroom & Wet-Zone Tiling in Fenton isn't a one-template job — every house we walk into reveals something different.
Where tiled trays fail in {town}
Homeowners wanting a formed, tiled-in shower floor in Fenton hit a recurring set of issues with tiled shower tray installation:
Trays formed on flat substrate with mortar 'falls' packed on top — flagged regularly on Fenton jobs.
Paint-on tanking layered without primer or mesh at joints — flagged regularly on Fenton jobs.
Linear drains set too high — water pools before it clears — flagged regularly on Fenton jobs.
Wrong adhesive on porcelain leaving slow cure and edge cracks — common on Fenton surveys.
Floors not level, causing lippage between large-format tiles, particularly in Fenton properties of this age.
Tiled Shower Tray Installation FAQs — Fenton
- Are tiled trays worth the extra cost in Fenton?
- For a design-forward bathroom, yes — no acrylic surround, no seam, and the tile runs into the floor uninterrupted. Cost premium is £600–£1,100 over a resin tray for a typical Fenton shower.
- What size fall is correct?
- 1:60 to 1:80 towards a linear drain, or 1:40 to a point gully. We set with a laser and check with water on the day the tray is formed on Fenton jobs.
- Which tanking system do you use?
- Sheet-membrane systems (kerdi-style) with taped joints — not paint-on that relies on the fitter's technique. Guaranteed by both the manufacturer and us on every Fenton install.
- How long does the tray add to the job?
- About 2 extra days — one to form and tank, one for the tanking to cure before the tile goes down. Worth it for a 20-year finish.
- Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?
- Always. After a free home visit in Fenton we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.
- Are you fully insured for work in Fenton?
- Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Fenton comes with a written workmanship guarantee.
