Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A diagnostic guide or app that helps homeowners identify if flex is due to improper sub-floor support or tray material fatigue.
  2. A service marketplace connecting homeowners with specialists who perform non-destructive structural reinforcement for shower trays.
