Advice please for 'wetroom' tiles with inadequate fall for water.

[Schlüter-Systems Ltd]

A horrible and unfortunate situation for your parents, of which I can understand your want to remedy.

It may be worth considering adding to your remedial specification a profile at the entrance to the shower to prevent water ingress into the room.

Have a look at Schlüter®-SHOWERPROFILE-WS/-WSK | Function | Schlüter-Systems - http://www.schluter.co.uk/showerprofile-ws-wsk-function.aspx where there are a number of options available.

Could people please advice how much slope would be required from the back wall to the drain, a distance of about 156 cm, as I have drawn in the diagram below, for a good drain of water?

The minimum recommended fall is 15mm and the maximum recommended ratio is 85:1, (i.e. for every 85mm the incline travels towards the waste outlet the floor level will fall 1mm.)
