Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry Re: Shower floors 9Oct 02, 2008 8:11 pm If you have tiles throughout the bathroom and into the shower, try to have the area in the shower lower than the bathroom floor so that you can get a fall to the shower waste (puddle flange). If you can't, you may need a hob (raised area around the shower) to stop the water flowing back there is evidence to suggest that the bathroom door. Also make sure the waterproof membrane is installed by a professional, as far as I'm aware, Victoria is the only state that does not have a pre-tile inspection by the Building Surveyor (Certifier for those in NSW). At least in NSW all new home have the waterproofing inspected prior to tiling - sadly this is not mandatory in Vic, thus we have countless bathroom leaking problems.

O we have a shower base where we currently are (old house) and I love it DH doesn't, but it is so much easier to clean - no mould, only soap scum. I just get a chux kitchen sponge with the green scourer, pour on some domestos & srcub of the excess.... BEWDIFUL. Not looking forward to a fully tiled shower... And yes Hannah, we have the floor tiles in the shower, they actually go on top of the bath to make the bathroom look longer (well that's the idea any way). If you change the texture of the floor tile in the shower make sure the tiles are the same size i.e 400x400. Makes it easier for the tiler!
