Shower tray pooling

dyslexicwinker

We bought a new build a year or so ago. Not many issues and generally get what I want/need but have had some interesting discussions regarding the en-suite shower tray which pools at the back. Having spoke to the manufacturer (ideal) they have said it’s potentially defective so builders have agreed to change but they’re adamant that due to it being within ‘tolerance’ then potentially it could become worse and there are no guarantees. Having fitted shower trays previously I’ve not had one that pools away from the plug as surely that’s not the idea! Assume they’re ‘trying it on’ but does anyone have any experience of ideal trays and do their tolerances allow pooling?

Photo please?
And, do you have a spirit level?
As you suspect, it'll come down to one of two causes - the tray itself is defective by being distorted somehow, or it hasn't been installed correctly = 'level' (Ie, the tray has the correct built-in 'fall', so should - in itself - be installed completely level.)

We’re on our second ideal shower tray with pooling and our house builders have stopped part way through installing the third as it pooling in the same spot. I fear I’m getting stuck in the middle of a debate on tolerances between ideal and the builder.
