Custom made shower base
Has anyone had any experience making a shower base. I need to make one that is even with the floor height, plus a small lip at the screen door, and I need to take into consideration the frameless shower screen.
I kind of understand the premise of sloping the floor towards the drain but the part of lowering that section of floor so to meet the existing floor. And what do I make the base from...standard concrete?
Also has anyone used the hidden drain cover that has a tile covering it? We saw it in Beaumont tile and it looked very neat.

I did this about a year ago. I just used mortar to shape the floor so that the fall was toward the shower drain. After allowing suffiecient time for the shaped base to cure, I boxed up a hob across the shower entry and filled with mortar (from memory I think it was about 100mm high). I then waterproofed the base with fibreglass. After a few coats of the fibreglass curing compound the base and hob were ready to tile.
