what would you recommend

Morning chaps, hope you are all having a great weekend and chilling n sun. I need some ideas really, the picture below is of a bathroom that is small. Has a 1400mm bath. Client wants to replace this bath with a double shower. But, you can see that the toilet soil pipe runs through the vanity unit and under the bath. But the bath waste is lower down on a seperate run. I just want to know what to do with the soil pipe? How to box it in and really, make it look like a good finish. I don't want it to be a mission to silicone around that side of the tray, but the boxing will come higher than the shower tray. Hope that make sense.

Just stud it out to ceiling height, board and tile, fit the h+c shower feeds behind

Install a saniflo, reduce the size of the pipe, could probably drop it under floor.

If you use a saniflo just remember the discharge pipe must have a 1:100 fall and any rise in the pipe must be at the start of the run so don`t go under the floor and then run the pipe up again by even 1inch or the warranty is void.

Could be the ideal opportunity to move things around. Put the toilet against the wall where the soil exits, so where the bath is now, then put the shower elsewhere, maybe where the vanity unit and toilet currently are.

Sounds good to me. Only use a sani when you have no other option.

Put 1200mm shower tray (or 1100mm) where the bath is and as said studwork up to ceiling to meet the tray with shower feeds to conceal the soil pipe. this arrangement is widely used in new builds with internal soil stacks.

Thanks fellers. Good plans there. The dry wall sounds like a decent option.

This would be my preference.

I would put a stud wall up and incorporate a recess in to this as a design.
