Abstract (en)

Providing a drain base such as a shower tray (1) with a non slip surface can be problematic. Thus, by providing a drain base comprising a structural tray (2) having apertures and tactile elements (5) secured through the apertures to collectively define a non slip surface it is possible to conveniently achieve a drain base more acceptable for operational use. Furthermore, by using a method of forming a drain base comprising forming a structural tray (2) with apertures, applying a tactile element mould part to the structural tray (2) and applying a tactile material through the apertures to form tactile elements (5) in association with the structural tray manufacture of such drain bases can be more readily achieved.
