Tiled Shower Tray Installation in Leek
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.
Most of our bathroom & wet-zone tiling jobs in Leek begin with a slow walk round the house, not a quote on the doorstep.
Our tiled shower tray installation process in Leek
Nothing is left vague, this is the sequence we work to from strip out to handover:
- 1Next on a Leek fit: set out the room dry to avoid awkward cuts in eye lines.
- 2Day 2 for a Leek job — notch-trowel a rapid-set adhesive matched to tile and substrate.
- 33. Strip existing tile, check substrate and skim where needed, agreed with you before we start in Leek.
- 4Day 4 for a Leek job — grout with a colour matched to the tile, sponge clean as we go.
- Porcelain (rectified, slip-rated where needed), used in Leek installs.
- Schlüter trims for clean external edges for Leek bathrooms.

Tiled Shower Tray Installation FAQs — Leek
- Are tiled trays worth the extra cost in Leek?
- 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 Leek 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 Leek 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 Leek 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 tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Leek home liveable while the work runs.
- Can you do large-format porcelain in a small Leek bathroom?
- Yes — 600x600 and 1200x600 porcelain work well in Leek bathrooms when the walls are skimmed flat and set out properly, making the room feel bigger.
