Hi. Anyone had any issues with Durastone shower Trays. Seen this one.
1200 x 800 Rectangular Shower Tray Durastone Low Profile - - https://www.showerstoyou.co.uk/1200-x-800-rectangular-shower-tray-durastone-low-profile/
Thought about buying.

If no one out there has experience with Durastone, what are your recommendations or 'avoid at all cost' shower trays.

Thats cheap !!

I thought so.
Any suggestions though.

Not really, not a plumber. If you get a wet room tray it will cost you 3 times as much for a 1200x900 !! The Durastone must be ok is there a guarantee ?

Hi. Why do you say the Durastone must be ok?

I have just done a search on Durastone trays and the only reviews came back were negative - made by the MX group I think.

This might be removed but. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM MX GROUP Amazon Usually if I am looking for info I google ? Just wondering why you didn't search Jr ?

We have this shower tray in our bathroom, if you look at the thread hexagonal tiles you will see it. I have used MX stuff in all our rentals due to the price. None have broken, chipped or shown any signs of damage, which I would have expected by now, much to my own supprise.

Hi. I did a little research, but found very few reviews. So, I thought I'd ask here.
Thanks for your input. I'm surprised at how many people don't actually answer the questions asked. So, thank you. I only wanted people to recommend good brands. Ha

Personally I would avoid Artisan trays they are British made but lack finish quality.
I find mid range trays by Eastbrook are good, available from most plumbers merchants.
