Hi Everybody.
I'm about to replace my upstairs shower stall. I'm a bit nervous about this, because I've never done this before. Consequently, I'll probably have several questions as the project proceeds.
Here are the details.
I live in an older house, and it's a small shower stall: 30" x 30" (I guess people were thinner back then - I know I sure was
). It has a floor pan (center drain), left wall, right wall, back, glass swing-door in front (with a stationary glass panel on the left).
The ceiling has a bend in it from the roof. That is, as you look into the shower from the outside, the right half of the ceiling is horizontal, while the left half slopes down (towards the left / backyard), parallel to the slope of the roof.
At its highest point (the 'horizontal' portion), the ceiling is about 81" high, measured from the bottom of the floor pan.
My goals are to have a decent-looking, waterproof shower that's easy to clean, and will last for a long time. Therefore, I want to put in a shower stall / enclosure / surround - something with a floor pan, back, and left and right walls. Then caulk all the seams and be done with it. I'm a big fan of simplicity and efficiency.
I don't want to tile or move walls. It doesn't have to be spectacular; I just want it to work well and last. The only people seeing this shower will be myself and a pretty lady.
As you can imagine, it's been difficult finding a 30x30 shower! However, I believe I have located ONE 30x30 shower pan, and ONE shower kit (from a different company) that can be cut down to 30x30.
So, before I dive in and make these purchases, here's my first question:
Do you have any recommendations? Do you know of any shower kits (of any kind) that are 30"x30", or that can be cut down to this size?
Or do you have any other recommendations about this project?
Thanks in advance!
