Help
I have just installed a large stone resin shower tray. I decided to Install it directly to a green chipboard floor as it seems pretty solid. I used a 20mm bed of tile adhesive as I noticed the floor wasn't completely level. I ran a thick bead of silicone around the 2 edges that were in contact with the wall along with a flexi strip. All was well until I heard a bang in the middle of the night.
When I went to investigate the following day, it looks as if the tile adhesive has stuck to the floor ok but has popped away from the underside of the stone resin tray.
The underside of the tray was a black plasticky type surface.
I'm stumped as what to do next??
The tray is level & on a solid base, it's also well fixed to the inside edges via the silicone, however it is not stuck down.
Toyed with drilling 3 holes thro the tray (outside of glass) and clamping down with some flat headed wood screws into the chip board then covering the screw with some sciliconed white dome caps or will I have to rip it up and start again?
Any advice appreciated
