Re-use all the existing connections. Buy quality tapware that will last, including flush mechanism. Get the water proofing and floor done by a professional. In order: waterproofing membrane, then mesh + cement to work out all the inclines. Water needs to run into the drains not out of the door so slopes are critical. You can do the walls if you feel like it. For the shower tray get a copper tray with welded edges and proper plasterboard in the shower. Then make a step out of ebo. Make sure the plasterboard overlaps the tray but is off at least 50mm from the bottom of the tray so it never gets wet by capilarity. The corner wall of the shower also needs a plastic angle and the walls of the shower need to be waterproofed. Under the copper tray needs to be waterproofed too. If your kids are young and pee in the shower waterproof the top as well so it doesn't corrode. The shower screens + door can be fitted on top of the step later on with tempered glass and aluminium framing. Any tradie can do that for $500.00 or so.
