Very happy to, Mark. Check your site. My review is under the name Lerb. Thanks again!! Edit I would have responded sooner, however, I'm not receiving email notifications when a Reply is posted. I'll look into that problem.

You're a life saver, Mark!! I really appreciate your help. I can do that. It's a seldom used bathroom, so I can give it 3 or 4 days for the silicon to really set up. Thanks again and all the best... - Lee

Hi all, I just installed a Maax corner shower in a basement on self leveling concrete. The drain uses a rubber compression ring to form a glue-less joint. The drain instructions gave the measurements for how long the pipe should be coming out of the floor. It didn't look right to me but I...

Thanks, Jeff! I'll post back when I get it mounted.

Thanks, Jeff. Would your solution work the same on a concrete floor? Use rows of mortar for the Styrofoam to rest on. In other words, lay the pan like a giant brick. It's low on the curved front by 1/4 inch, so add about 3/4 inch rows of mortar about 2 inches apart and tap/wiggle the base until...

Hi all, As the title suggests, I'm installing a 34” x 34” shower base with a Styrofoam backing, on a concrete floor in the basement. I have the drain roughed in and it's dead on where it should be. The concrete floor is off level by about 1/4 ". I was going to pour self-leveling concrete and...

Good to know. Thanks!

That makes perfect sense. I just finished peeling the old caulking away. I checked the level of the tray. It's dead on the money in all directions, so that's one headache we can eliminate. There was less water on the side gaps versus the end gap where the shower head is but there was still...

Great advice, Jim. Thanks. I can do all those things. The water that came out of the cracks after I removed the caulking was partially brownish in color, meaning it had been there a while. Some of the water was also clear and there was a fair amount, so I suspect it's a leak as opposed to...

Many thanks for the reply, WorthFlorida. You're sure right about water being elusive. I wonder what the logic is about not caulking the inside of the door frame. I suspect the water is seeping in from there.

Hi all. I'm new here and would really appreciate some advice. I installed a shower about 5 years ago. It came with a base tray. The walls are single piece man-made marble. These walls sit on the inside lip of the base tray. I've re-caulked the shower twice and always ended up with mold in the...
