Called by a couple to inspect their recently installed wet room. A plumber who decided to turn his hand to wet rooms led to this mess- Nothing good to say about the work! Lippage, messy grouting, uneven levels, bad cuts, no tanking (still wrapped up in spare room) spot fixing, poor layout...

We've done wetrooms on suspended floors with joists in the past, but never on concrete, so looking for some advice please chaps :). We are going to be creating a wetroom shower enclosure which is triangular (i.e. the shower screen runs at an angle to the corner of the room) with the two sides...
