: I would like some advise as to what should go underneath : my cement if I want to make it leak-proof : Should I lay a solid sheet of lead and have the : drain come through the middle? : How do you attach the lead to the floor without : puting holes in it? : Any advise would be great I have just installed such a shower, the cement base is referred to as a 'wetbed'. The previous advice by Sean sounds similar to what I did, but if you want a good step-by-step detailed manual with pictures to boot, then visit the John Bridge Forum (www.johnbridge.com). Also, make sure to use a good butyle rubber caulk between the drain and the rubber liner or it WILL leak. Test it by filling with water overnight before laying down the wetbed.
