I want to create a hassle free shower room as have previously had a lot of leaks. The shower is located in a 3 wall alcove. Approx 800 x 800 square
The current shower tray has a waste trap below floor level; there is a hole in the floor. However, the waste has leaked over years and caused a hole in the ceiling to the flat below. This is handy for repairing the leak using access from flat below, but this cannot go on. So I will be raising the shower tray so all the waste trap in future is accessible from my flat.
In case there is ever a leak (again) from the waste or it gets blocked, is it a good idea to have the waste on the same side as the pivot door, close to the clip on panel so the plumber can get easy access. Or will that look strange to have to walk into the shower over the waste. Previous waste was on right side, but the pipe work will need to be changed anyway si it doesn't have to be the same.
The pipe will eventually have to go to right side of the shower tray, turn right to then run along the wall into the soil stack
Also I'm not sure whether to get upstand to 3 or 4 sides of tray
Thanks in advance.
