Having trouble locating shower trap part - help appreciated

Having recently identified that my shower drain is missing a trap, hoping someone here may be able to help as I've failed in my quest to locate the part...
Long story short:


Long story short:
- Out of ignorance, never realised that a trap piece was missing from my linear shower drain.
- Comparing with a friend's identical shower tray, it's clear that the missing part is a trap insert with a seal that can be removed for cleaning and this was never installed in my drain (first occupant) - instead what I have is an open pipe.
- Contacted the builder, who were useless and couldn't tell me the manufacturer - there are no brand or other markings on my drain, or my friend's drain or trap piece.
- The piece seems to be quite unusual, in that all of the plumbing merchants, B&Q, warehouses I've contacted have never seen it before. The design of the drain also means that I can't find a generic part that will fit in its place.

Hello, it's an impey linear drain, unfortunately you can't normally buy the part on its own and have to buy the entire gully set, you might get lucky on eBay though 🤞

An update in case anyone searching needs this part in the future. Contacted Impey and they were able to sell me the two parts needed for the insert. The part numbers/prices are:
CCK342 for the bucket £9.82p + VAT
CCK345 for the diptube and o-ring £10.38p + VAT
