A modular shower pan is formed as a body having a floor with a drain hole and a support surface formed from raised portions extending upward from the floor and defining a level plane above the floor and over the drain hole, that is configured to support a slab shower floor thereon concealing the drain hole. The upper surfaces of the raised portions and the slab positioned thereon pitch downward toward a rear of the pan. Perimeter drainage passages along a perimeter of the shower pan are connected to drainage channels that pitch downward to the drain hole. The slab is dimensioned to cover the drain hole but to allow water to flow over its edges into the perimeter passages. In use, water falling onto the slab flows preferentially rearward on the pitched slab, spilling over the edges, into perimeter drainage passages and down the channels to the drain hole.
