Shower pans

[Tom Riley]

Im wondering if there is a video or book covering the replacing of a leaky shower pan. If so where could I purchase such an item. Ive recently purchased a foreclosure property and am doing most of the work myself . A plumber in the area wants $950.00 us dollars to replace it. Is that price too high and is it a huge job. I consider myself very experienced and quite handy. what are some of the main concerns when tackling a job like this. Thanks. Steve

To get a shower pan replaced for $950.00 is very reasonable. The main concerns on a job like this is the connection between the new and old tile. A mud set base has a membrane that will go up the wall 18 inches. A tile backer like Wonderboard would be good to use.regards, Terry Love

Our house built in 1947 has a tiled floor with an attached shower pan (below tile). There is a hole in the drain (you can see it from our basement). We cant use it because water leaks downstairs. Is there an economical way to fix this? Thanks for any suggestions.

I would like to know if you install a shower pan over existing concrete slab,do you have to pour a mud bed under the pan liner or just pour the one above the liner sloping back to the drain? : : : : : Im wondering if there is a video or book covering the replacing of a leaky shower pan.
