Not OP, but what did you use for shower floor if you did shower. Pan, cement or tile. Hardy Backer or GL RedGard membrane if you know.

Studying up. Thanks.


We did a custom shower floor (cement/membrane/mortar/tile). Hardie board walls with Redgard.


Thanks!

Do it before you move in! We have that issue and our bathroom is functional so we left it as we'd have to move out. Now we are putting a second one in so we can remodel the first (and two is nice to have).

Will you share the name of your bathroom contractor please?

NP but the shower pan is cheap looking. Suitable for apartments maybe. Use tiles.

Also NP, but I'll take a durable shower pan any day over having to maintain a grouted tile shower floor. Even the best quality grout will stain and wear away and eventually leak over time.

Thanks. May I ask how much it cost?

PP again: forgot to add that this assumes that the tile, vanity, toilet, etc. you want are in stock and ready for pick up/delivery. Add 2-3 weeks if not.

I am considering buying an older home that only has one bathroom that needs to be gutted. Ideally, I would do this before I moved into the home but wondering how long a gut job renovation of a bathroom would take. Anyone have experience that can tell me how long their renovation took? Thanks.
