Which brands for walk in shower kits would you recommend? Thanks for your videos!

@markdanderson8263 11 месяцев назад

One of the best instructional videos I’ve seen on the subject. I’ve got over 37 years of experience, I should know. I’m now semi-retired and doing some shower remodels for side hustle. I’m definitely going to look at this kit for my next one.

@bobscaping Год назад

Great tip on the 2x10 reinforcement for a future grab bar, maybe add a second 2x10 in case it's a vertical grab bar, like one would have for exiting a bath tub. It would also be worthwhile to sketch a diagram of the 2x10(s) exact location, for a future installer to reference. We have a similar shower unit like this one installed in our basement bathroom over a concrete floor, so I sprayed expanding insulating foam underneath to insulate and support it further. Thanks for all the great tips Steve and kudos on the good camera work Nikki! 🖖✌

What did you trim is out with? The product above and around the shower edges.

@holland6648 Год назад

Would be cool if you included how you measured the dept of the shower valve and was you shower valve free floating no backing? Love the rest of the vid👍🏻

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher Год назад

Yes free floating with the way it mounted to shower panels. It’s an odd valve for sure. But most valves can free float and anchor with escutcheon plate 👍

Is cement backer board necessary for fiberglass units ? I installed 1/4 inch boards after realizing I should’ve used 1/2 but I don’t really want to replace it. Would it even matter if you don’t need them at all ?

@elmermt 5 месяцев назад

5.20 what is in the corner, craked, and you guys cover it up with fiberglass fixer? Also can you install a foldable wall mount seat? 21.39 what kind of panel were installed around the shower, top part?

@mrswapyyc 7 месяцев назад

Hey, can you please give me a link for the drain you used for this?

@caroldavid1019 6 месяцев назад

Use a non shrink grount. Regular mortar shrinks as it cures.

@grantfehlhaber1404 9 месяцев назад

Why do you spray it with the windex before whipping it with your finger. Also what kind of caulk did you use in the joints like were the top walls met the bottom base. Just wondering because I’m at this step at home and not sure what kind of caulk to use. Thanks and great Video I learned a lot and am more confident about moving forward in my shower installation.

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher 9 месяцев назад

It prevents the silicon from smearing. They make special sprays for it, but Windex does just fine. The joint needs to be caulked fully before spraying. If there is any gap, the Windex will prevent sealing to surround

@acesandeights65 Год назад

Do you have to put wing nuts back on to hold shower together? Where the metel pins line the two up.

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher Год назад

No need to add the wing nuts. Might not be a bad idea to do so if you set as a one piece…the pins are helpful to align the panels when setting 👍

@nephewsque6751 Год назад

Nice job 👏 how much would a remodel like that cost about?

@sandymilne224 7 месяцев назад

My guess… shower system (base and walls) $1,200-ish. Plumbing; assuming no concrete slab cutting and moving drain; $75. Assuming new diverter, pex piping and water supply to rain head; $500-700. Grab bars; approx. $36.00 each. Misc. Supplies $230 max. (caulk, drain, 2x material, etc) Likely 4 -5 days labor. And that’s high.

My wife is asking how to prevent shower mold from forming where the panels line up?

@TheRoadTaken Год назад

Nevermind, I bumped up the video to 4K and was able to see details I wasn't able to before.

@josephhathaway5053 Год назад

Can glass doors go on this unit?

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher Год назад

Yes, but you need to find the correct height. A lot of shower kits will extend above side walls

@josephhathaway5053 Год назад

Thank you. Really appreciate the quick response. Your videos are great, keep up the fantastic work.

Am I missing something, the mortar under the pan, doesn’t need to be solid?

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher 5 месяцев назад

Yes, mortar is soft when wet 😂 hardens when dry

@Faruk651 Год назад

How dare you put a fiberglass base in a shower. A shower needs to be custom built with all that waterproof membrane, inside-outside corners. Or even better styrofoam base with little beach rocks on top. So when you stand on it little rocks can be embedded in the styrofoam base. A shower curb with bunch of corners to waterproof. 6 months later Tile Coach will come and dissect your shower like a doctor to find out what failed in 100 possible failures in a custom shower. Jokes aside I like that base, it is not beautiful but very functional.

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher Год назад

😆 yeah it’s been almost a decade since I’ve done a fiberglass 😆 probably be another one till I do it again.

@JM-io4vb 4 месяца назад

I've seen too many of these videos where the installer leaves the tub or shower floor unprotected while they work the installation. Why? It doesn't take much to put a drop cloth or piece of cardboard down to protect the finish of the brand new unit.

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher 4 месяца назад

Good idea Karen 👍

@JM-io4vb 4 месяца назад

@@BathroomRemodelingTeacherSorry if I hurt your feelings by pointing out your sloppy work. I realize YOU don't care if the tub gets damaged, but maybe the people paying for the work would like to get decent results. It doesn't take that much effort.

@douglasthompson2740 5 месяцев назад

Walking grout into a new fiberglass enclosure is going to really mess up the surface. A piece of cardboard down is a sign of caring and easy to do at no cost. Sloppy work is generally poor work. Really disappointed in the insulation install as well. I hope people are not taking this as the 'right' way to do an install.
