"The shower curtain rod was hung too high that the curtain could not stop water from going all over floor. I made a point of giving them the curtain to make sure the rod was installed properly but he merely eyeballed it instead of measuring the wall to be accurate. It was just a standard curtain! I made them correct the height which left a couple of holes in the shower wall that is noticeable. The cap on the end of the shower rod was not put on correctly and just hung on the rod. They did nothing about the gap in the floor molding after removing my tub, so that the edge of the vinyl floor and raw wood floor was showing. I made them fix it with caulk but did a quick sloppy job of it on the one side. There is now a good size purple stain on my vinyl floor from a chemical they allowed to spill on it, the flooring is only a year old! The new knob fell off in my hand the first time I turned on the water. The shower pan is not deep enough to allow a shower curtain to stop the water from going on the bathroom floor. The new hand held shower is too short to use because the shower head is so high. I have had to go shopping for a longer one. I paid enough money that it should have been a perfect or near perfect job, but it was not."

"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."

Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts

Use mortar underneath the shower base. The mortar holds the shower pan in place and creates a level surface when spread properly. If your flooring is not level, you would need to use shims to create a level surface before moving forward with the mortar and base installation.

Note that installing a shower pan on an uneven surface can eventually lead to cracks and leaks.

It is possible to install a two-in-one unit that has both a shower and a walk-in tub so you can still have both in smaller bathrooms or provide a showerhead for those in the household who prefer taking showers. You’ll hear these referred to as walk-in tub and shower combo units. Keep in mind that these combo units can take up more space than a standard shower or tub, and you’ll most likely need to hire a pro to install one.

If you are in the market for a new showerhead, consider investing in a metal option rather than plastic. Metal showerheads are more durable and long-lasting, and bacteria tend to survive and grow better on plastic. Besides the materials, what works best for you will depend on personal preference. Maybe you would prefer a showerhead with as many settings as possible, or you would like a handheld one.

Most modern showers have a prefabricated base made from fiberglass or plastic, such as acrylic or polyurethane. Nonetheless, concrete mortar is still the traditional, go-to base for a custom walk-in shower.

You’ll need to add a waterproofing liner or membrane between the layers of mortar to keep moisture out. From there, you can top it with whatever type of tile you like to create a spa-like custom look. Be sure to include these considerations in your budget for the cost of a walk-in shower.

Bathtub and shower liners come in different colors, so make sure you select one to match the rest of the bathroom. Hire a local bath liner installer for the job since they have the expertise, tools, and materials to install it correctly. Request at least three quotes from various contractors and compare their rates and services.
