I need to spiff up our 1950's brick home enough so that potential buyers aren't scared away. Two of the three baths have had gut remodels, but the tiny master hasn't had much done to it. It has a small tiled shower with 4x4 wall tile, and the shower floor has 3/4 square tile that has been "repaired" with a line of plastic/vinyl caulk and was laid poorly anyway. It doesn't look original to me. I don't have the money for another gut job, so I would like to replace the door with a new glass one, have the walls epoxied white, and change the fixtures. The only real issue is the shower floor, which is just bad with a bad repair. Can I have the floor, pan, and drain replaced without losing the walls? Even if I lose the bottom row of wall tiles, I don't care, since I'm going to have the whole thing epoxied anyway. I could have any reasonably close 4x4 tiles put in and it would be okay in the end.
Will a tile/bath remodel guy work with me on a project like this? I have to imagine it's going to be cheaper than tearing down the shower and retiling the whole thing. I can paint, replace the fixtures, put in new lighting and a medicine cabinet myself for not too much money. It's the darn shower that is making this difficult.
Thanks,
Jim
