What’s the best way to rip a cracked shower tray out?
Cheers

Haven’t seen it yet battle. Going Sat morning. Apparently it’s split so has to come out. That’s all I know. I’ll report back once I’ve seen it.

I know it’s upstairs in the en suite If they've got no spares tiles I just cut the full section of tiles out above the tray out with my multi tool including plasterboard and save them for refitting after that it's job specific really. |

Good tip. Never done that, but I don't do lots of showers. Will a standard multi tool blade go through if it's backer, or is that too tough?

I use whatever blade is on its last legs and find I never have any issues. |

Additionally I leave the tiles in a bucket of hot water over night and the next morning the adhesive just scrapes off the tiles ready for refitting when ready to do so.

I saw the shower tray
It’s fixed/glued to the floor directly.
The only way I can see to get it up is chisel it & prise it off. It’ll probably take some of the floor with it.
Any other thoughts?
Cheers

Its a job for bearswood and his hammer, no use tip toeing about, quote to smash it out, full retile,new cubicle anything short will be hard work, you'll never be happy with it and it will leak, thats my thoughts anyway,  |

Normally I don't give much thought to the removal, as the monies lost depending on what's being reinstalled.
if the job is like for like base out and base in then you advise extras may have to be added subject to the floor condition, once you can see the damage, as a little leak over a long period can cause some seriously weak structures.

Can you loose a row of tiles?
With one row off you might be able to get a shovel underneath and lift it up without breaking any more?
Maybe then make good with a row of white tiles or something to match the tray?
Just finding a few alternatives.
