I am just asking before I take out the old one (plastic) and replace with a stone tray. The floor should be wooden floor boards not chipboard But like most DIY in this house nothing is ever straightforward so I need to be prepared in advance. Should I just lay the stone tray on the floor boards if it is level and if not what do I use to level it. It is low profile and does not have a plinth.
levelling a stone shower tray?

Is it self supporting or does it need to be bedded in?
The usual way is to lay it on a dry bed of mortar never on just the bare floor boards, this advice is normally provided with any accompanying instructions.

+1 - is this a stone-resin tray (presumably)? It should certainly come with instructions, and you certainly need to follow them.There's a trick to the mortar bed which avoids breaking your back trying to drop the tray square on to the bed.... basically you lay a few narrow slats across the tray location before placing the mortar; lower the tray onto the slats and then slide them out, leaving the tray fully supported by the mortar.
After reading the replies I find that there is instructions included....Duh! I had previously just pulled the instructions for the enclosure as it all came as a package.
Question now resolved, thanks guys.
