Well I'll be spending all night watching you tube now learning how to make my own

One more thought, obviously porcelain if possible but would you feel okay laying ceramics in the shower area?

Ceramics are fine so long as they are a good quality. Thousands of Olympic sized swimming pools are tiled with ceramic tiles.

Apologies Tom - I've just watched the link. That is very similar to what I have already fitted, aside from it not being a 4 way.

When you said make your own I thought you meant you literally made the former. Am I being thick?!

No you are not being thick..... I just make mine, with a plywood former, sloped for my taste and cover it with a suitable backer board, and drain kit, tank, and then tile over.

Or, the old fashioned way of using sand and cement to form the tray. Even upstairs on timber substrates!
