In the on going debackal of trying to get resonable quotes and requotes from bath to walk in shower and no bath, blah, blah, blah....

Well... now I have seen something new, still a walk in shower, but its called a wetzone and instead of the tacky white shower tray i can get this:

http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detai...

which means i can have it tiled, which is good. Seems like its a mini wetroom the size of the tray?

Only issue i have is the price and would like to see a second opinion on it and some others, but it seems B&Q are the only stockists and £700 for a funky tray is kind of expensive, so do you know anyone else that makes this kind of thing?

Also what do you think of it rather than a white tray which is the standard?

Well I like what you have found there thumbup

Price wise? Well, it's far better than the norm as you say, and IMO I'd have one of those without question.

The question is... anyone know of anything like this, but erm... a little more wallet friendly? getmecoat

ETA - The Nurburgring hotel has a fantastic wet zone in some of the rooms similar to this, and I have always wanted to emulate something like it at home.

I'm confused.
A floor drain that's HIGHER than some of the floor....
That'll work.

How is that different to a normal tray?

Its resessed into the floor (hence the 150mm version and the 50mm on)...

My eyes must be going wrong, because it looks from the picture that the part with the drain in is raised above the rest of the floor.....
Surely they aren't expecting the water to stay on that plinth??

still goes into the floor like normal tho....

take a look at the 150mm model and see the bottom plate to see how.

We spec loads of wetrooms and that's just part of one stood in a corner. Quite where they are hoping the water is going to go when it fails to remain on the raised section I can't imagine. It simply won't work..... much like a lot of B&Q bathroom ideas.

I'd probably trip over something like that and stub my toe. I'd just stick with a nice normal shower tray!

What kind of pricing do you do for a room that is 1580mm wide by 2100mm length?
