A First Of Its Kind?


A call I got today prompted me to post as i could not find any similar post in the archives.
Customer is in wheelchair any wants to rework a shower to include a toilet(in the shower). Has anyone heard of such a thing? Think the plumbing inspector would approve?

Im not sure about the code over here but we have done many complette wet room bathrooms before. Similer 2 the pics below. It can be done but it aint cheap. The whole bathroom floor had to be sloped towards the drain.

Sure - there in most RV's & as shown above by BCC - complete wet rooms (BCC try Scluter - they have a 6 x 6 pan and you can use Ditra on the rest)

First of all, your profile doesn't say where you're from....

Second, I assume the customer wants a bathroom turned into a complete wet area.
