Replacing shower drain thingy

[Rachel87]

Hi, sorry this is a really basic question, but Google hasn't helped me find the answer... The chrome coloured ring around my shower plughole has cracked in half. I have a link for a photo but apparently not allowed to post it... Can someone tell me what is this part called, and can I replace it without having to buy a whole drain thing? What do I stick it on with?
Thanks!
Rachel

Ah, I thought it was just a plastic ring but now I've taken the centre out I can see it's connected to the rest of it... Bah. Thank you

Is there any way to replace this without having to get under the shower tray? Just had new vinyl put down and sealed all round the edges!

you could just replace the plastic ring but you would have to get one the same as the old one

and no other than from below (ceiling)

Add a picture some can be removed without removing the tray

Keeps saying post denied. Do I have to do a certain number of posts before I'm allowed to post links?

Thanks. Looks like I'll have to learn some plumbing!

It all depends if the waste is supported underneath i undid one and it dropped 2 foot into a void so tie a string around that cross bar
