Quadrant shower tray installation

Does anyone have the answer to the finishing of the 'skirting' finish to a quadrant stone cast shower tray that has to be raised to accommodate the waste. The floor is concrete. I can't seem to find anything in the DIY sheds, that is made for the job.
Any suggestions? Please
