Shower tray with upstands - cut into plasterboard? - TilersForums.com

[dave_ave]

I've bought a Coram shower tray with upstands. I'm going to tile straight onto plasterboard. I notice the tray is quite proud on the wall.

Would you guys/gals recommend cutting into the plasterbaord to recess the tray and make it flush for the tiling?

I have seen it done before and have fixed the tiles accordingly with no comebacks.

EDIT: are you tanking the shower area ?

You do normally cut the tray into the wall area so the face of the upstand is flush to the wall.... But i would tank to make sure of no ingression into the substrate..

Yep, going to tank. No PVA for me though - read and learn!
