    Good point Kool - I was looking at the tanking, not the plumbing. OP, you might want to run a check on that waste before you tile because it looks like it may not run away so fast with that near-horizontal run. A powerful shower might put more in faster than you can drain out, particularly after the drain gets a bit of hair/soap/crud in it.

    That moment when wau5 realised his tanking hadn't worked

    ahahah If I ever need to access it, than I'm out of my luck :D
    Anyway, I have tested the pipes at least 10x and the fall is decent as well, it just looks straight as the box around is leveled out however it has nice fall for it and the water runs away all ok.

    To be honest. i would always make sure you could get to the waste.

    Sometimes you can't. Low profile tray, tiled floor = ceiling access if you don't want to disturb tiles. I'd rather patch a ceiling in than pull up a tiled floor unless you can get to it by pulling up a floorboard in an adjacent room!
    Man up Kools :D
