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.
