How to extend the height of a shower drain?

[pwmonger1]

I am about to retile an old shower and the old floor drain will be too low for the new tiles once the old mosaics are removed. The substrate is concrete. Is there a product which will push into the old drain pipework once the grate is removed to increase the height and not have to cut out the old shower outlet?

Hi @pwmonger1 

There  are drain extentions made for you purpose with different height of extentions , an  example of one of them  is as follows

Have  fun just check  your drains diameter for  good fits.

Hello @pwmonger1 

Just to add to the suggestions made, I recommend having a look at the PVC Slab Adaptor. These PVC couplers are meant to slide into existing pipework concreted into place. It can be cut down and adjusted which will allow you to slide in a new floor waste.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
