Prefabricated Bases vs Tiled Shower Pans
Provide the exact base/system. Factory pans differ from mortar/tile systems in waterproofing and drain integration.
Subfloor and Opening Dimensions
The opening and substrate need to support the selected system. Structural/subfloor correction can expand scope.
Drain Location and Connection
A pan matching an existing compatible drain differs from relocation/rough-in changes, which require licensed plumbing.
Slope and Waterproofing System
Site-built systems require coordinated slope/membrane/drain details. This page does not invent a universal waterproofing method.
Curbs, Thresholds and Accessibility
Curbless or low-threshold designs can affect floor recessing, drainage and accessibility requirements; they are remodeling/design-sensitive.
Shower Pan vs Full Shower Remodeling
Use Shower Tile Installation & Repair for tile and Shower Remodeling or Tub-to-Shower for broader projects. Use Contact for qualification screening.
Parts of this project may require a licensed, structural or specialist provider. The page keeps those boundaries explicit.
