Hi, I'm converting a workshop to a downstairs cloakroom. I want to install a shower cubicle. The floor is concrete. I want to raise the floor 5 or 6 mm to match the house floor level.
Can I bury the shower trap and waste in the concrete of the new floor (the trap is one I can clean from the top)? This would keep the step up onto the shower tray an a minimum .. in case by elderly parents need to use it.
Or, should I build a timber base on top of the new concrete to stand the tray on and to house the trap .. this way only the straight waste pipe will be buried but access would not be as easy for my parents unless I build a shallow step between the floor and the tray .. floor space may be a problem with this idea though.
I welcome any comments and or alternative ideas. Thanks
