Working on ideas for replacing bath with a shower.

1. The waste pipe exits the bathroom a few inches above floor level.
2. Lowering the waste may not be a good option.

May not? or is not?

3. I fancy a "walk in" concept with a long tray - with a bit of floor
beyond. Maybe a 1200/ 1400 long tray in place of the 1700 long bath.

Are you ok with a step up to it?

4. What are thoughts on tray on legs versus building a raised false floor
where the bath had been to accomodate a tray and a dry step-in area?
Would
this be more solid?

Doing your own plinth will leave you a much wide range of shower trays
to choose from. Also you can use a nice solid stone resin tray which are
much quieter in operation, and feel solid under foot.



+1.
Alternatively, if you really can't connect to a lower part of the stack
(drop through the ceiling below and box-in the pipe?), then maybe a
shower waste pump would be worth investigating.
