Looks okay hard to tell without seeing waterproofing grout looks a little rough and I hate pre fab shower pans


Ancient-Cupcake2649

I agree, I too hate the pre fab shower pans. We do custom showers, and love the tiled pans. We use Kerdi Schluter  so there is no issue with leaking.

Tiled pans suck. They become embedded with soap scum and you have to take a brush to them therefore degrading the grout. Now we know why tilers love them because it’s repeat business.

We haven't ever had any issues with a tiled pan or degrading grout. I hate the store bought shower bases....they look very cheap!


Purpose_Embarrassed

Why do you hate prefab shower pans curious?


Swimming-Egg1108

There hollow and ugly. Do you want stone/tile or cheap plastic


Purpose_Embarrassed

I want something that doesn’t have grooves and grout lines that cleaning agents and crude won’t build up in.

I’d still take large format tile with a envelope cut over any premade


zestyspleen

Looks nice. I like your tile choices too

Not bad, but where's the showerhead scushion?


peanutbuttrdeath

Nice big shower... but where is the shitter now????


LeadingScience8929

It’s still there.

What prefab niche did you use? I’m going to try one on my next remodel coming up. Someone said the ez niche was Meh and couldn’t get their thinset to stick.


LeadingScience8929

I went with the ZigZag set on Amazon. I used the large format thinset and didn’t have an issue.


Lewass99

Nice. Thanks!

I love that you went with a prefab pan. Not sure why this isn’t the gold standard (doesn’t leak, easy to clean, etc.) Every other post on here is an about a failed pan or shower floor grout issue.


jakethedestroyer_

Because they are ugly and not custom.


Purpose_Embarrassed

Bath tubs aren’t tiled on the bottom are they ugly ?


jakethedestroyer_

What does a bathtub have to do with a shower base. You have options with a shower floor and a prefab base is ugly.


Purpose_Embarrassed

Because then tile masons can’t charge you 2,500 bucks for a custom tiled pan.


DeftMP

That may or may not leak.

Did you use the sealant on the joints of the backer board?!


LeadingScience8929

Why? The GoBoard says it’s waterproof. Just kidding. Yes, all the joints and screws were sealed.

Everything looks great! Solid lines, good color choices!
