have a 2nd story, master bath 36X36 neo-angle cheap home depot neo angle wich is now leaking into our 1st story laundry room. The plumbing is on the outside wall grrrr.
I don't know anything about plumbing but right off the bat, that sounds like a bad place for it for obvious reasons.
I got a plumbing contractor who specialize in bathrooms and kitchens, been around town forever, have good reputation.
the bathroom is about 11X10 with a corner soaker jet tub on the back wall and the shower on the right side of it.
We have roughly 63" with to play with and between 36 and 44 " deep
the plan is to place a 60X 36 or 44 walk in shower in this space. Not going neo angle again, the cost of custom glass and job is almost double.
the problem we are facing is the guy is nervous about braking the tile in front of the shower. I told him no worries, just take it back to the grout line and use cultured marble as a threshold, I think it will look good but he is not so sure. I can tell he means well and is trying to do the best job.
so he came out with the idea of, leaving the existing floor tile and filing in the rest (levelling the subfloor) where the old shower was to place the cultured marble shower pan onto. Is that ok????
Another thing is, I insist on having the plumbing installed on an interior wall and the only way that can be done is by building a wall between the tub and the shower making it a enclave shower. The space is tight for a 2X4 wall AND a 60" precast cultured marble. If I go custom, that's another 500$ so his plan is to build the wall partly on the side of tub and the other part onto the side of tub tiles, wall will be supported, secure by floor and side wall. how does that sound??
first pic is existing set up, second and third pics, what I am looking for.
Thanks for the help
