That’s smart . More and more tempted to just get that gorgeous black tray . It’s only 30mm deep so I could set it slightly lower - like only 10mm above finished floor . I’ll put a drawing up tomorrow to show what i’m Thinking ..... ?

Trial and error ? ??

Now ; for the main bathroom I was planning like @Onoff getting a floor former and tiling it for a walk in shower . But ! after seeing some of these low level nice and smooth shower trays I’m not so sure . for example https://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/milano-rasa-graphite-slate-effect-rectangular-shower-tray-choice-of-sizes-76877?gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv4ut-NaZ5QIVB8jeCh0fWAtdEAQYCiABEgK8uPD_BwE slick ! Assume any fixed glass panels just sit on the tray . Apart from ascetics is one better than the other ? I assume a tray ( any tray ) will keep water directed towards the drain better than a tiled former ??? @Nickfromwales ?? I assume also easier install ??

Yeah I wasn’t 100% sure; so a frameless sliding door takes away my worries ? . Water will stay in there whilst showering ( shower head at opposite end to door ! )

The other issue i’ve got is that leaves around 1metre to get a wc and sink in . Don’t want one of those ‘diddy’ sinks you can get 1 finger in so looking at round wall mounted ones as 400mm seems reasonable and allows room for wc . Its big for an ensuite just want to use the space as effectively as possible

Well ! I survived ! . Prices were as expected - but got discount ranging from 10% to 50% . Appreciate it’s not discount ; after all i’ll Sell you my iPhone for 10 grand . Luckily i’m Having a sale today with 90% discount .... Managed to get Ensuite shower tray and frameless sliding shower door . Stand alone bath taps Bathroom sink and unit . Bathroom recessed de mister mirror and storage ( these are always expensive) They didn’t have a great range of stand alone baths so left that . Went back to bathstore to order it . None in stock so probably discontinued. So ! Have first dibs on the showroom bath with 70% discount . Fingers crossed on that !

Yeah . It was just a thought . For the ensuite as space is tight i’ve Ordered a 1000 x 760 tray with sliding doors . Really wanted a walk in shower - but it will piss everywhere! . So I thought to make it a bit ‘flasher’ sink the tray ( have plenty of depth ) . But ! If you think I’m asking for trouble then won’t !!

Is there any reason a typical ‘lipped’ shower tray rather than be sat on the floor be actually in the floor ? . So the top of the tray is level with finished floor outside the shower .....??

Bought the geberit minus odour extraction already - for a bit less than 220 . Bought wc also - liked the geberit icon square ; so shopped around for that .

And wrecking it !! ?

But ! You could argue better to fix an old car than buy another with unknown issues . Better the devil you know .....

Oh appreciated. Let me help you now . My car is worth £400 at best ! What’s yours worth ? . Both do the same job going from A to B . I’m guessing yours is worth far more than mine and indeed cost more than mine . Just sharing my experience on cars I.e I don’t care as long as it does the job cheap as possible - I have no interest in cars . Perhaps bathrooms , kitchens etc. ARE more important to me ........

Sorry - not sure what you are trying to prove ! If I know EXACTLY which geberit cistern I want them yes I can online search and get the cheapest . Using your duff logic - I’ll just buy any freestanding bath ( as long as it’s the cheapest ) , any rimless toilet ( cheapest of course - even though YOU said rimless was pointless ) , any kitchen ( cheapest ) , any front door ( cheapest ) etc. Etc. Etc . YOU want cheapest ! I don’t ! . But that doesn’t mean I want most expensive!!! ; as there is no upper limit for these things . i am willing to pay more than “cheapest similar “ - that’s all . The savings on my build were because of my efficiency and work - finishes in my opinion are subjective and should suit the value of the property. Would a 1 million pound house be ok with a 5k kitchen ? . Of course it would ; it’s just as functional. But when you try to sell it - that would pop up as an issue...

Well ! I disagree . Went to bathstore got a quote . Managed to get the price down and match online prices . The number of times i’ve haggled PIR , scaffold boards , timber down etc. I can’t remember. Cheaper than ALL online almost certainly not - but near and delivery next day . If lowest price is your only objective then fine - shop around forever .

Quickly looked at Trojan baths - not a single freestanding one under 400 . Also you mentioned a ‘cheap’ geberit and toilet before . Nope ; doesn’t exist - unless you mean eBay with geberit walled cistern and cheap loo ( buyers complain how cheap the toilet is ) . So yes ! You can find cheaper ; of course you can - quality may be an issue though ....

Yep ; or haggle in store .

Hands back in your gloves please you dirty (expletive deleted)

Yeah but buying online means buying blind no showroom.

Can I buy it off you for £100 ?

Problem is I want to see and touch bath / sink etc . Nothing worse than something looks nice yet feels cheap . Haggling skills will be at the ready but SWMBO overrules such ability !!

Bet he had a few properties to remortgage against ?

I’m touched by the underwhelming support ! ?

How did you find the install ? Also the quality? . Any photos ?

Off to one tomorrow. Wish me luck ! Credit card has already started sobbing ...

Erm ! The steel beams are indeed powder coated I believe . The installer supplied bolts etc. - it was a custom job so I did nothing ?. I can later get a photo underneath so you can see the bolts - from memory there’s no sign of corrosion..... yet !
