Hi,
My plumber has had to use riser legs on my quadrant shower tray because of joist/waste issues.
I would like to tile the gap between the floor and tray rather than use the plastic panel the shower people supplied.
As it's a quadrant I would need to find something flexible to form a neat curve around the tray.
Has anyone got any ideas on the best material to use and how I'd support it/fix to it? :dunce2:
I've seen bendy MDF in B&Q but not sure if you can use this in a bathroom?
 
a joiner should be able to create curved fixings for tiling onto,,in regards to fixing are you going to use mosaics to tile over it? or were you thinking of using your tiles from the exisitng bathroom
 
Re: Tiling around Shower Riser Legs

Thanks for the reply,
I was going to use mosaic (the type with the webbing on the back) so it would follow the curve.
 
I used that Mdf bendy springy thingy whatisname years ago on exactly the same sort of job for my Mother, cut it to size, double it up and glue both sides together with contact glue, allow to dry, Fix the noggins under the tray to take the board, I used a piece of 30 x 30mm and cut the back to make it bend to the shape I needed, I glued it with a commercial glue gun, then fix your masaics, I glued mine on with a spray contact adhesive because you can get them so straight and neat, allow to dry and grout with flexible grout, Silicon the corners. 10 years ago and no problems

:thumbsup::thumbsup:
