    Hi Folks
    My plumber has told me that he wants me to get sawdust to lay my new shower tray on. Just wondering if this is common practice? I though sand/cement was the way to go??
    Thanks

    Did he ask you to get tartan paint while you’re at it

    Nope, dead serious. He said it wouldn't move over time unlike sand/cement. Just thought it might have been another option plumbers use.. Obviously not 😊

    It'll move alright, but you could expect it to absorb small leakages better than sand n cement.

    Perhaps the plumber isn't confident in his work?

    Maybe he plans to make a sawdust mortar with a couple of bottles of woodglue. A green new deal plumber?

    Sand and cement, bonding, even a good bed of tile ahhesive. Anything that will spread when the tray is bedded into it and move around to level it. The leave to set
