Thanks for the info. I can't put a full tile along the bottom row because I'm using large floor tiles and have to put the slope from the far recess wall to the wall where the floor drain is. That...

Has anyone had experience installing a Smart tile drain (the square ones that you drop a piece of tile in the middle)?
I was going to install a drainage flange with the weep holes below the smart...

I'm using a Smartile for the drain, it's been measured out to fit at the bottom edge of the first 2 tiles out from the wall- that's 2 cuts!

Thanks Michael...
Exactly what I thought I'd need to do and simialr to what I've already researched..but I'm still not overly assured. I think I need to just go for it. I invisage the main problem...

I've just finishing stripping the bathroom floor down to the timber and will be rebuilding a new one. I'd like to get an 'expert' opinion on whether the following steps are the way to go....

1....

The floor drain should have small weep holes below the floor level that will collect any seepage but DONT rely on it. Sealing your grout with a good quality sealant should greatly reduce any chance...

Yeah- you can go for the professionals if you want, but waterproofing is not difficult and can be done properly as long as you are thorough and follow all instructions.

I just finished my first...

That's just the advice I received.
I'd really like to avoid cutting out the timber floor as most of the perimeter of the room doesn't line up with joists and I can see as alot of unnecessary work...
