Hi Deb,
This is the shower base that I purchased from Reece.
This is the shower screen that I purchased from Bunnings. Yup, will be getting a plumber to do the install ect, but just wondering if these two items would fit together before getting the plumber in and realise it doesn't. Appreciate your help.
Welcome to the Workshop community @Rach_m. My apologies for the slow response.
Unfortunately the D'lucci Frameless Glass Shower Panel Door Kit is suited to be fixed to a tiled hob and the manufacturer does not recommend the frameless kit being installed onto a pre-made shower base as it is not structurally sound.
If your intentions were to lay tiles up to the edge of the shower base, then the kit can be installed directly onto those.
Please let me know if you need any further advice on the installation or have other questions.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Tonyfendt. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for providing this feedback.
I apologise, as I wasn't aware that those details were not included in the product specifications. I'll pass this feedback onto the supplier so they can have a look at including them.
Frameless shower kits are generally designed to fix onto solid substrates giving a seamless look between the glass panels and tiles beneath. This seamless look is partly achieved by having very minimalistic brackets, even for solid substrates. In the case of the Mondella 10 x 2000 x 1175mm Glass Frameless Shower Panel, it has four mounting points total. An acrylic shower base is too flexible to have a heavy glass panel attached at only two points. You could install your shower panel onto a shower base if you wish, but the supplier does not recommend it.
When you say you have a shower tray, is it a raised acrylic base? Feel free to post a picture if you'd like, and some of our helpful members might have some solutions for you.

Hello @Tonyfendt
I'm sorry to hear about your shower glass panel installation. Have you thought about building a small cement hob next to the shower tray and covering it with tiles so that the glass panel sits on the cement hob? It will still look visually appealing and you won't have to buy anything special as the glass panel can now be installed regularly. I've drawn a diagram below to give you an idea of how it could be done.
Please note that the measurements placed are for reference only, please adjust them to your needs.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please don't hesitate to post them.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

'Morning Eric, thank you for your efforts and nice diagram 
.Unfortunately taking another 100mm out and moving the screen over would impinge on the WC location. In addition, even with silicone sealing, we'd be introducing another potential leak area at the hob/tray junction. Aesthetically, I'm not sure that this would be appealing to look at either. I think I will stick to drilling through to the slab under and anchoring with long shaft ss anchors as well as 5mm structural silicone jointing to the tray. I'll review the installation once the silicone is cured and if necessary install either an off the shelf head brace or custom toughened glass brace at the head of the wall junction and maybe in combination with a toughened glass head brace.
Had I'd known that these panels should not be fixed to the tray, I'd have built an insitu tiled shower floor but now I'm stuck with what is built.
Cheers, Tony
