What You’ll Need:
- Resin shower tray
- Tape measure
- Pencil
- Level
- Silicone sealant
- Screwdriver
- Adjustable wrench
Step 1: Measure and Prepare
Start by measuring the area where you want to install the resin shower tray. Make sure to take accurate measurements to ensure a proper fit.
Next, prepare the area by removing the old tray or bathtub. Clean the floor thoroughly to ensure a clean and dry surface for installation.
Step 2: Test Fit the Tray
Place the resin shower tray in the desired location to test the fit. Use a level to ensure the tray is perfectly level. If adjustments are needed, use shims or adjustable feet to achieve a level position.
Step 3: Apply Silicone Sealant
Once the tray is properly positioned and leveled, lift it off the floor and apply a generous amount of silicone sealant on the underside of the tray. This will create a watertight seal and prevent any leaks.
Step 4: Place the Tray
Gently lower the resin shower tray back into position, pressing it firmly onto the silicone sealant. Ensure that the tray is level and aligned with your measurements from Step 1.
Step 5: Secure the Tray
Using a screwdriver, secure the tray to the floor using the provided screws. Be careful not to overtighten, as this may crack the tray.
Step 6: Seal the Edges
Apply a bead of silicone sealant along the edges of the tray to create a watertight seal. Smooth the sealant with a finger or a caulking tool for a neat finish.
Step 7: Let it Cure
Allow the silicone sealant to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions before using the shower tray. This will ensure it is fully set and ready to be used.

Installing a resin shower tray is a relatively straightforward process that can be accomplished with some basic tools and a bit of patience. By following these step-by-step instructions, you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits of a stylish and functional resin shower tray in your bathroom.
