   The usual adaptation for UK showers is to turn the bathroom into a wet-room.   
   Tile the whole floor and install a drain flush with the floor surface. There   
   is no   
   shower tray required. It doesn't need a shower-curtain either. Presumably   
   the floor slopes down to the drain at its lowest point.
