I've just bought a house and intend to turn the very small box room into an en suite. Im not sure if this is the best forum for this but hopefully I can get some advice.
the room as it is is plastered and thats it. Ill be installing pipe work for water and drains (not myself) but i do intend to do as much of the labouring as i can as i'm going to be on a very tight budget.
what I would like is a shower with no obvious tray just tiled floor that blends with the rest of the floor in the room, then maybe a glass side or glass doors.
the wooden floor in the room can be removed and replaced to facilitate the install. and the walls can be covered with whatever material required to get the best result / cost compromise. Its possible two of the walls will be stud walls anyway
What methods and materials should i be researching to get the best from this situation?
I'm assuming if i replace the floor i should be able to set some kind of shower drain into the cavity of the floor. I currently use a combi boiler but the bathroom might be a bit of a distance from it. I'm not sure if it will power the shower easily. If i do require some kind of power shower, is there a type that can be set into a stud wall instead of on the wall in the shower itself?
thanks
