where can I find an 800 x 800 200 shower tray?

[iajon]

I've been looking for a while for a square 800 x 800 x 200 shower tray without any success! Anyone know of anywhere that would be able to supply one? Or any source of reasonably priced 800 x 800 square shower trays would also be helpful just in case I can't get an 800 x 800 x 200? Thanks in advance

I'm not sure why the height is important to you.

have a Coram Waterguard shower tray. This is a plastic one on legs, so it much lighter than the traditional stone type, making it a one person fit. It is probably not a million miles from 200mm high. Mine is 900x800, but I think they do loads of sizes.

The trap fits underneath the tray with no need for underfloor space. Very easy to service. As it happens, I needed a large void underneath my tray for a Sanishower and didn't want to bury it in the floor.

I need to replace an old shower tray of that height and was hoping to find one of the same height so that I haven't got to do any re-tiling or re-fitting of the shower doors - it would then just be a case of old one out and new one in! Just doesn't work like that though! Bathroom is fully tiled so if shower tray height is different then it could mean trying to locate matching tiles - tiles were already there when we bought the house! Will definitely try the link though - thanks.

The Coram ones have tiling upstands that go behind the tiles and so couldn't be retrofitted to an existing tiled wall, unless you are able to replace the bottom row.

So get a lower one and raise it to meet the tiles.

Get a quote from a sheet metal supplier in your area to build you a tray out of stainless steel. Search here for the saga of my stainless steel shower tray (still going strong a few years after installation). And "no" - it isn't cold underfoot (the steel is 1mm thick).

I'm thinking of buying one if these things although have never seen one other than in pictures. I presume you reckon it's OK then? Is it as good as it looks in terms of ease of fitting; and how about stability in comparison with a stone-resin job?

I have a 900 x 900 one of these that I fitted 3 years ago and has just been removed and refitted, totally stable totally watertight, make sure you get the right one for your application re number of upstands, fwiw I got from plumbworld

It seems pretty well made. It isn't in use yet, though. It is MUCH easier to fit than a stone resin tray. To use the tiling upstands, you need to build the alcove accurately and tile after fitting.
