Firstly the builder is leading you on. He seems to have already given you many different excuses and that is before he has even been out to see the mess he made.
Get him out to have a look but don't be surprised that there are all sorts of reason why it's leaking that are not related to the work he has done.
I would always go with a marbletrend type enclosure. These enclosures do not need waterproofing under them. They are fully self enclosed with the parts (if there are parts) overlapping to correctly shed the water to the base tray and then obviously to the drain. Think roof tiles and the way they shed water.
We have one in our house that has been in place since we moved here, in 1995 and still going strong. It's looks a bit worn but still keeping the house dry.
Recently installed one in the USA which was made up of 4 pieces that all interlocked. See pics. This job was done in 3 days. Main time was waiting for the gyprock to set.
Cheers
