    Hi All Just bought a new house and I've knocked the toilet and bathroom through into one. I'm moving the toilet and I want to build a shower cubicle in the space where the toilet was. The space is 1400mm so I was going to put down a 1200mm shower tray and use the 200mm "gap" to have a concealed...
