Does anyone know or recommend me to a relevant website that would cater for an unusual shower base, like the one below?



The sloping floor is because that floor is the 'ceiling' of a stairway landing. It can't be knocked flat and I don't like the idea of moving the unit leaving an unsightly gap with the slope showing?

If you know of any website that does something like that, I'd be appreciated.

We are thinking of getting rid of the bath (that's where it was situated and the slope would not affect it as the curvature of the bath takes care of it) and replace it with a full shower unit cubicle.

Many thanks.
 
Tiles will shift, it's almost impossible to make an angled join on a wooden floor that doesn't move (unless you create say a 2" bed of concrete first?).

I'd suggest a copper or stainless steel base, it's about the only way you could make it waterproof. I'd post a link but I reckon it's mad money unless you happen to know a craftsman.
 
It won't be cheap.
Several companies offer this service Daryl Showers is one.

There are several UK firms who do custom shower trays, again NOT cheap, but I wouldn't like a resin one with that slope.

I would treat the area as a wet room & square the slope area off & make a seat/shelf out of it, that way guarantee a 100% waterproof area.
See above link for similar idea.

Hmmm, thanks guys.

I think we'll cope with a gap and perhaps fit a narrow glass shelf for storing shampoo bottles, etc. and a standalone shower unit cubicle in the middle.

Can't go wrong there, would it?

I've only ever seen that stuff in America, I wish the DIY sheds over here would stock it.

edit. Ah, found some... :)
(thanks for the brand name, I didn't know what they called it)
Not sure it would be 100% in this application though?
