What tools for lowering concrete wet room floor?
Posted: Tue Feb 15, 2011 11:27 am
I have an existing wet room designed for disabled usage, the floor underneath the lino flooring is concrete with a channel cut in and a drain in the corner.
I want to half the size of it in order to improve circulation on the ground floor and create a compact shower room with a micro basin and wall hung toilet.
The drain currently spans across what I want to be the hallway (indicated by the double line.

The lowered area would be to the right of this image.
What's the easiest way to do this conversion?
I was looking at purchasing one of these to sink in to the floor, but would require lowering the shower tray area by 24mm and then putting the new drainage channel:

Would I be able to do it with an SDS drill with a chasing bit?
