We have a shower base for a new wet room which has a lip around the hole for the waste. The lip lies about 1&1/2 inch below the level of the base. But this is a problem as we are already at the minimum cross fall on the waste pipe, which means raising the base up by an inch to maintain the cross fall. But we don't really want to raise the floor level in the wet room. Is it possible to get a vertical outlet / shower waste, connect it to a U bend, and run it back up to the waste, snug against the wet room base to avoid losing an inch off the floor?
The other thoughts we have are to cut the whole lip out and seal a larger waste to the base, but not sure how difficult this is?
Or, I guess, buy a different wet room/ shower base? Ebay seems to have bases without a lip, but are they strong enough to be used without support underneath (i.e. directly on to the joists)?
Thanks a lot for any thoughts / comments
