ᐅ Distance Between Shower Tray and Floor – How to Bridge the Gap?

AnneRBGHello,
I have the following issue: we renovated our bathroom, and it turned out that the shower tray does not fully rest on the floor along its edge. There is about a 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) gap between the top edge of the floor tiles and the bottom edge of the shower tray. It was clear that the shower tray wouldn’t sit completely on the floor; we had only hoped it would be as low as possible. The installer had initially said there would be about a 4–5 cm (1.6–2 inch) gap. Now everything is lower, which we are happy about, but we lack a practical solution to cover this gap. At 4–5 cm, it might have been possible to tile over it, but at 1.5 cm, this seems less feasible, and I think the gap is too wide for just grout and silicone. But what should we do now?
Does anyone have a good idea for this situation?
Thank you!

Hello Bieber, I have also thought about something like this and have even tried it, but the problem is that the metal profile cannot be slid under the edge of the shower tray—I at least wasn’t able to manage it. Gluing it on the outside looks awkward and might also be "risky" since standing water could then seep in.

such tile trims are available in heights ranging from at least 3 mm to 30 mm (0.1 to 1.2 inches), so there should be a size that fits your joint. The perforated strip that is meant to be embedded in the tile adhesive would probably need to be cut off, right?
