Yes def lay vinyl before shower installation.no problem then with water. Even if vinyl is coved up shower tray intime water can find its way onto or under vinyl.

We get the vinyl laid last, after shower and vanity installed, painting and all other works completed

Thats ok teezw1.but tis better if shower and vanity go afer vinyl is layed as water just cant get under vinyl.but most people do put vinyl in last.Iknow as have been laying vinyl for 4o odd years.

I'm a licensed builder and i've installed a lot of shower's and am also an englefield certified installer and I've never seen vinyl laid before the shower.

Same on the LBP and totally agree. Vinyl after, and even easier after painting.

Ok out voted here.lol.but surely common sense would tell if vinyl is layed up to shower water can get down. Silicone is good stop gap.Now dmj etcu must have replaced flooring in front of showers where water has gotten down.would be fair to say it is easier for builder and plumbers if vinyl went down last but that wasnt the question tha Jack47 asked.

The 2 most common leakage points for shower trays are the tray corners where the glass meets the plastic lining. Vinyl under the tray won't make any difference to a leak in those locations. Also I would be worried that the glue used to stick the shower tray to the floor might not stick to the vinyl.
But please get the vinyl installed before the toilet gets installed.

yes agreed about the toilet.Have layed vinyl in a few bathrooms before shower tray goes in and no problem that I have heard of.plumbers have wanted it that way. shows the diference between the Islands.lol.
