Perhaps some one else has but I have never seen a square drain in that position before so close to the wall?

They may have used a bigger tray and cut it back on 1 side to accommodate the toilet in that recess.

Hi, no the tray wasn't cut back, that is how it is, I have attached a photo of it.

If it is an 1800 long former, then straight away it is clear that the issue is also with how the envelope cuts have been made. They're not long enough. Here is an 1800 long former I fitted recently. See how the envelope cuts have been taken to the far corners and straight to the drain....

Oh Yes!!!! thank you, I hadn't realised this until I looked again at the photo of the tray.. Thank you all of you.
Also I remember that the bathroom fitter spread latex or screeding on one end of the tray (the end that doesn't drain) just before the tiler, tiled it for 2nd time, someone has said to me that this might damage the tray? Also I don't know why he did it?

I would be surprised if this would damage the tray but it may indicate that tray wasn't put in level and they were building one end up . When I say level the outer edges of the tray should be level .

Hi

How are you getting on?
Thanks for your interest, I spoke to Consumers Advice and they said that if I have lost faith in the contractor, then I have the right to have it redone by someone else and original contractor has to pay. I have just sent off a letter to they guy telling him this, this is what I was advised.
Now I need to find a tiler, that is proficient in laying wet-room floors and isn't put off by porcelain tiles, in Bristol, any takers????
