Well, besides, butting it up around it tends, after a year or so to end badly with the edges curling up, unless some kind of beading can be used to nail or screw the raw edges, then there is the issue of muck accumulation around the joins.

And lets face it, if it fails and leaks, you will have to refit and seal it, but it might work. Its one of those suck it and see, do you feel lucky kind of things.Keep the valium handy. Brian
Should work on an inch-by-inch sort of basis
Yes! Thank you.
Having just read what you did this summer, that doesn't surprise me :-)
Old seal between pan and waste tended to be a sort of putty. With modern plastic waste, a sort of flexible plastic seal. If no sign of the putty, it should be easy to remove. Fit a new seal on replacement.
With the pan removed, tape a plastic bag etc over the waste to stop smells while you lay the floor.

There are a few of them; Fugi[1] and Fugenboy being the more common. The fugi are the better ones IMHO, although the Fugenboy sometimes hand because they are physically smaller.

IMHO, they don't work as well - tending to create a more aggressively concave fillet with thin weak edges. The clean beveled fillet you get from the fugi stands up to enthusiastic cleaning far better.
