DIY CUSTOM concrete SHOWER 

If you’re interested in my concrete mix design I have a full ingredient list and mix design explanation over on my Patreon! “My Concrete Mix Design Explained” is pinned at the top of my homepage. Use the vertical concrete 1 or vertical concrete 2 membership tier to access it. I am also in the process of creating an e-book and online video course detailing the whole process that will be available soon. Patreon: www.patreon.com/hiddenhomestead

I was searching for just a concrete shower surround to see how it’d look and came across this. This is next level-this is absolutely amazing. The way you made the rock, stone, and wood look so realistic out of just mortar is mind blowing. You’re an artist!

Just a word of advice. You need to start wearing a mask when working with cement projects or you will really regret it later.

I’m so glad I found your video, it is absolutely gorgeous! I am considering creating something similar on a smaller scale inside my school bus conversion bathroom, to give it a grotto like feel, though I am being conscious to use the lightest materials possible.

Wow! You are an artist! Beautiful work. What a wonderful escape that must feel like to shower in.

The best shower ive ever seen....looks like a million bucks....im sure it wasnt overly expensive either:) How much did it cost all up to complete the shower?

Art. This is fucking art

Well that topped everything else....I've officially seen it all. That was honestly truly absolutely amazing. I'd love to know how many hrs you have in that project. Damn truly awesome!

Now THIS is a masterpiece! You Sir, are a MASTER of your craft. I'm very handy but couldn't even begin to imagine being able to do that!! Great job! Kudos!

Bro seriously. You screw up a basic tile shower but then build a flawless epic cave shower from concrete. 🤯

2 year old video but this, this is amazing. I love the cave like shower concept.

Looks great but way too much trouble for this old man to go through 🙄

This is literally the most beautiful shower i have ever seen

What's it like cleaning the shower? Lots of pores to hold moisture

Jesus H Christ. Ur like, really good dude

Howdy buddy- I have been waiting for you to post this video and I was not disappointed! You are an amazing artist to say the least. Wow! Your talent and skill level is way up there on a different level. This has to be one of the coolest videos I’ve ever watched. Thank you, thank you for sharing your talent with us! God bless and keep you safe

Wow, I feel more relaxed just looking at this shower!

How .... in the hell does this only have 44k view

TRULY INSPIRING! Gotta say, too, that the extra touches in video production was great. (Like the text falling out of the bucket… very cool) A few years ago, we built an indoor shower that was made to look like an outdoor shower… we used more landscape construction rather than typical indoor methods. (Wish I could show you a picture… it’s pretty cool). Faux stone, river rocks… very “castle-esque”. Our budget was next to nothing, We went to Home Depot and discovered that a lame, plastic shower pan was $180… and I was like: NO WAY! We can do way better than a dumb square of plastic with a hole drilled in it. So we got started with left over supplies from various jobs and projects, repurposed lumber, etc. The end result is awesome. Before and since then, I have scoured the Internet for unique DIY ideas and could not find ANY that were as good or better than what we did. Not trying to pat myself on the back too much but everything was just various Home Depot inspired, boring crap. We have another shower to do and we wanted to improve on what we did before. It was pretty cool that our creation was better, in my opinion, than anything I was finding online but it was also discouraging because I felt like I was out of ideas. Yours is the first and only one I have found that truly got me inspired all over again. Absolutely stunning. I love it. CERTAINLY does not look like everything was purchased at Home Depot. Haha. AND it resembles a skill I have already practiced… I learned how to create large, naturalistic habitats for my reptiles that is basically expanding foam carved to look like real stone, then sealed with silicone and covered in sand, soil, coconut fiber, etc. This mine grotto shower is a much cooler, much sturdier variation of that theme so I feel like it’s something I could definitely pull off! Anyway, thank you so much for the awesome video and the truly unique inspiration. It’s exactly what I needed to spark my imagination once more and get to work!!

How much would you charge to do a job like that?

i used to see this restroom with cave design many years back, lol i always will pay a visit to the restroom just to check it out, place is unreal , had to cross a bridge of a koi pond just to reach the front door

Let Jesus save you, I saw your tattoo ‘dead’ on your knuckles - Christ can clean you better than any shower - He is God in the flesh & you must accept Him & His ways to make it into Heaven!

How has this held up? How easy is it to clean?

Dang

Is there a reason you make your own mortar mix instead of buying mortar mix

BRILLIANT!! I needed this. Where are you located? R u available for hire? Or available for consultation? I'm building a staircase to look as a natural rock formation with a fireplace under the stairs. I'm in northern California.

So called zero barrier showers leak so often...best to use a one piece cultured stone base, custom sized with 2.5 inch stepover. And lifetime warranty against leakage

How does this not have a million views???

just wanna saw you do a great job of camera angles and editing! Oh and your a freaking Artists at your craft!

What the fuck just happened? 😆 This is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. I hope you are proud of what you do? Amazing work.

Only reason I wouldn’t jump at having this shower would be the trying to clean in between the cracks but honestly it’s almost even worth it 👏🏼👏🏼🔥 amazing work

just found this video. amazing work! Is there any issues with water standing in the big gaps? would you grout the spaces just i case ? I would like to make something like this but i worry about the possible mold and cleaning issues. is it fairly easy to keep clean and maintained?

Amazing love it wished I had one just like it. I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you. God bless.

Awesome way to overcome a trip with magitude creations of concrete ! Question ... Ever considered ancient morrocan tadelakt or after you experience ... Considered it would be more of the same. Yes i consider bczof something many hours as working concrete rough on knees structure I am considering to remain as close to staying earthen ... But do u know of tadelakt methods ?

Wow! Amazing!! You’re a freaking artist!!!

That is killer, might have to have you help when I start building!

Not the style I'd have chose but gotta admire the craftsmanship & the profound weirdness. Does the sealer do a good job keeping moisture out of the slabs?

Whoa!! Wasn’t ready for that finished product, definitely feeling inspired after that, great work!

Wow just beautiful ! I’m so sick of tile bathrooms. I’m doing my own concrete bathroom. Not like urs lol more simple. God bless

Thats so funny that you show the view from a plane window. Did you actually go on holiday to get inspired. You come across as a real artist. Inspiring!

I have 2 accounts so I logged out and back in just so I can like this twice. I'm an artist so I have the cred to say you are one hell of an artist. I'm buying an ancient house soon and I am going to do this or embarrass myself trying.

Wow! Just how long did you spend in Disney to pick that up? The roof bolts made it for me.

We're you going to talk about the shower, like how you improved it. How you got rid of the mold problem, the different faucet features, the improved bench? Anything? Did I just waste 20 min to watch a guy sculpt concrete. I'll go to an exhibit for art. What a WASTE of time

Hey! What’s the mortar mix ratio? Trying to “microcement” walls for shower but cannot find anything that’s not pre mixed for $100 a bag and from Poland! Lol Also did you apply any kind of primer besides the water spray bottle? Thanks!

Would have been nice if there was more than a few lines of instructions in the video and, good God, what a choice to make. Next to no waterproofing, covering everything with cracks and texture which will make this a mold and mildew farm and be next to impossible to clear (unless you want to use harsh chemicals or a power washer on your finicky finish). While the construction is certainly unique, who wants to shower in a dark mine shaft? A 14-year-old who likes Minecraft? This just brought the resale value of your home down by $20-$30K. This is going to be torn down and redone in less than 5 years. Strongly advise checking out some basic design principles before constructing anything else.

Fantastic job ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great job! Looks amazing!

Amazing! Very talented for sure!

Very nice. You killed the details! Wear a mask when cutting backer and mixing concrete!

WTF! At first I felt bad for ya, now...WTF!!!! Damn, I just don't want a shiny bright white tile shower like everyone else, now I know I don't have to have one. I was like, why is he showing us molds of stuff...little did I know it was an effin railroad tie set deep in a mine shaft...stunned!

Holy shit that’s amazing brother!! Was the foam board used for a bench I couldn’t tell.. how do you color it?

It looks amazing, and full credit for your film set of a shower room. But I am concerned about the upkeep. That looks like it'd be a nightmare to clean... is it?

This could have been a curb less shower with the floor shower depth was like 1 foot deep should have used a liner and dropped the shower depth. Great job kinda.

A real master piece but it needs more light perhaps a window and skylite and maybe a water feature in the corner of the wall

Super neat!!! How do you guys like it after a couple years? I want to replace our tile shower for the same reasons you mentioned. So how’s concrete holding up with mold and mildew?

I would love to know more. Can you share a direct link? I am curious to know how it is waterproofed? AMAZING work!

Where did you find the silicone molds of the tree knots and bent spike? I’m looking everywhere and no luck.

There's concrete showers, and then there is this! This is absolutely next level.

Curious as to what kind of Crete you used for the walls and floors

Hey bud I've been working on my shower forever now and getting down to the painting or staining process. I was just wondering what kind of paint you used.

Sir you are an inspiration. What you have created out of cement is mind blowing. I am building my shower. I’ve tirelessly been searching for videos on how to stamp my cement floors. I would sure appreciate any advice.

Great carving skills , painting skills and layout … bravo

Fucking AMAZING! I only hope to be a talented as you one day! Thankyou for sharing….

Dude that’s unreal!!! Ur a beast

what an amazing shower! have you installed a waterproof membrane on the walls, and if not, why?

Thank you for the great infos! Where did you get this siphon from, we are trying to find something like that, to use also with a wooden floor. Thanks!

How would you scale that down? What I mean is, if I want to be able to do that, I need to practice starting off on the small scale, any recommendations?

As the person in my home that does the house cleaning all I see is a cleaning nightmare. I would think this far better suited for an outdoor pool area for prerinse and after swim rinse.

Concrete base with mortar...how 1970’s...i’d like to see a tile guy who offers a lifetime warranty against leakage. You won’t find one of course

Nice Work.... And i was proud of my concrete countertops ⚒

Did you seal the concrete? If so did you have to wait for a cure period and what did you use? How is the shower performing after 3 years?

It’s beautiful. How easy it to keep clean of mildew?

Wow!!… Absolutely beautiful job!!❤

Two questions... 1) What did you use over the PVC liner and how did you fasten it down to keep it from moving? 2) How did you get your concrete to stick to the foam and not lift off?

Dude! Most impressive video I’ve seen on RU-vid in a long time. How long did it take once you got the old tile out?

Oh shit!

Gorgeous work. You’re a true artist/sculptor.

Amazing. Hope my project turns out half as good.

I think that design could easily spread throughout the house, I have a ton of questions that I sure wish were answered throughout the video, but great job, please do a follow up after a while to discuss any changes, cleaning, maintenance, etc . I love unconventional home designs and this definitely fits the bill, great job!

This is absolutely incredible but uhh.. how do you clean it..? 😂

Looks really cool ! But I bet it’s absolutely terrible to clean with all of that texture!!

why but a moisture barrier? wont that trapped moisture erode the concrete?

Where did you get the molds for the wood pieces thanks mister concrete

Sooo... how much would one charge for this???

Great vid but can I ask what music was it that you used at 5:43. I loved it.

What's the Concrete you're using for the walls

Amazing! thanks for sharing

What kind of sealer did you use to seal the concrete? Thanks

Fantastic. Cheers! I’m going to try and learn as much as I can to do something similar. Thanks for the inspiration. if you could share a few tips that would be awesome!

Awesome job. So how hard is it to keep clean from mold and soap scum with all them really deep grooves, cuts and what not? I know you sealed it at first but have you had to since?

This is badass..... I'm gonna be doing this to my bath for sho

Freakin amazing! No demo of it in use? 🤪😜😂

Awesome work. Very talented. Both the shower and the video.

how do you only have 8000 views. holy crap

If only I had a 10th of that artistic talent...

Wow that’s incredible

How do you clean a shower like this with all those crevices?

Brilliant. Just brilliant!!! Love this

I want to be your apprentice... ;)

beautiful! i'm inspired
