Have you considered building a platform to put the shower on? That would
then let you run the waste above the floor level. Once boxed in and
tiled it looks quite neat.

Hi, I assume that the platform would need to be slightly bigger than the
actual shower tray (900mm x 900mm) which may pose some problems but I can
look into that when I'm back home at the weekend.

How high would the platform need to be? I am assuming that I will also
need
a boxed in section down the one wall to run the pipe at floor level. Any
ideas on the best way to construct this and how far it would need to come
out from the wall?

Is it easy to tile onto wood and is there some sort of edging strip that I
can use to make the edge between the sides and top of the platform nice
and
neat?

Thinking about this a bit more I'm not going to be able put the shower on a
platform. I am presuming the platform is square. This wont be any good as
its the curved quadrant that's giving me clearance for something else -
namely my feet whilst I'm on the bog! Putting in a square platform is going
to remove that benefit.

Back to the drawing board - the worrying thing is that my plumber said it
would have been fine to drill through the joists and after checking the
diagram on the link provided logized no way is this the case!
