    Before we can answer we need more details. Where will the shower be located? Upstairs? Basement? Outside area? If a basement or outside area I would suggest using floor drain instead of a regular shower drain. A regular shower drain will need a vent run from it wile a floor drain will not need its own vent. If a upstairs installation you will need to build a pan for the shower using a flange type shower drain,(see image) and connect to a lavatory drain line where it will be wet vented. Let us hear from you. Tom

    This shower is located on second floor and currently there is a shower with plastic shower base. I would like to make this shower much bigger. I can't find a corner shower base the size I would like to have. I will be using current shower drain line.
    Before I will start mixing cement I need step by steps instructions with drawings.
    Thanks
