Connection of shower drainage to WC

[yendisniaps]

I want to fit a shower into a ground floor WC as a wet room. I want the floor to drain into the WC as there is no other drainage nearby. I know that I will need a trap, but it will have to go below ground level, and connect into the WC. The floor is concrete. Is this legal, adisable and possible?

Might be best to fit a gully with a hopper outside of the external wall connected to your ex-drain pipe then fit the shower waste outlet to the gully

Example,

Thanks for that, but thats quite a lot of work as the external drain pipe is several meteres away round the corner.

will you be keeping the WC as well as the shower? Does the WC waste pipe go through the wall or down into the floor then through the wall?

Yes we want to keep the WC. The waste pipe goes down into the floor, but its not against an outside wall. I suspect it goes across the kitchen directly to the stack on the other side of the house.

Do you not have hand basin which you could connect the shower waste to ?

No.

Just out of interest, is it an old house? Is the WC a recent installation? I'm surprised that the WC soil pipe goes across the house under the floor. It must be a very long pipe. I wonder how you would clear it if it got blocked. Presumably the WC isn't against the outer wall? It must be a fairly big downstairs toilet room if you can fit a shower as well in there.

Sorry, I haven't any ideas at the moment about what you could do.

Well the only other thing you can do is to fit a shower pump and take it to your nearest waste pipe,see this.
