  • A huge advantage of new construction is being able to use one-piece showers and tub sets. For obvious reasons they need to be installed prior to finishing the framing.

    I’m a kitchen and bath remodeling contractor in Southern New Jersey I always put structalite which is the base coat for plaster walls it’s great for sound deadening tub bottoms and a great leveling base you don’t get that hollow sound when your shower hits the especially on upper level bathrooms you don’t hear it in say your den area watching tv

    I built an earth contact home so I am no stranger to concrete floors and plumbing and if I did it again I would do some things different. I am alone now son not all the tubs and bathrooms period get used. I had company once and my shower, much like the one you installed. The drain lost its seal where it is screwed to the bottom of the tub. I turned the water off and messed with it later. NOONE could sell me a drain that I could install from the top at the time so it remained unused for some time. Then one day I saw on here a new top install drain. It slides over the rough plumbing and rolls on a greased grommet. The ring is self tightening by 5 fingers you set and when you start turning the screws the grab the bottom/floor of the unit. I don't think anyone used any support under the units. When I built my other houses I dumped a wheelbarrow of concrete in and set the unit in that and never had problems. Anyway they have all that stuff accessible from the top now.

    • @MrPostFrame

    nice job sir. I have seen these fail over a long time (25 years) due to no support under the tub, like mortar or foam or similar. after several fatigue cycles of a 200lb person plus water, possibly like 400 lbs of weight on the bottom. plus if you do it will take any of the "squishy" feeling you may have when you step in it. It may feel stiff now but over time may weaken.

    1) The drain-tubing, should it not be linked "female" to "male"? so that there is no "lip" inside of the drain-tube that might stop the free-flow of water and perhaps compromise the seal over the years. I think you put a straight tube (male to male) linking the drain from the bottom of the tub to the vertical tube; might not be "best practice" and cause issues along the way.
    2) I would try to put some planks/boards under the tub so that it won't be supported only on those small feet at the edges; just prevent/limit the formation of a "curve" in the tub over the years. It make sense to try to distribute the weight of the person standing inside the tub across the whole bottom.

      Lemon essential oil, steaming it off with a clothes steamer and plastic scraper are two of our go to methods

    When you were showing the overhead view of the master suite, I thought you pointed to a large walk in shower stall. Am I wrong? Stay safe

    Surprised that the tub did not require mortar under to support the tub. If not mortar some tubs require expansion foam of the type for use between doors and window frames to give it more support.

    Just a thought, at that penetration in the slab for plumbing or any penetration, possibly all exterior walls. Apply some Bora-Care or similar product to the lower 2 feet or so of the studs to stop any future termite invasion. I dont know how bad they are in your part of the world but I could see them coming up under the tub and getting into the framing. Here in the south they spray the sub soil under the slab before the concrete pour. Also maybe a dusting of boric acid powder on the slab under the tub around the opening. Under island in the kitchen, walls, where plumbing comes in before you close it up for ants, roaches etc. As long as it stays dry should work forever. Preventative pest control

    I suggest you slide non shrinking grout underneath the shower so that there is no movement when you're in the shower it works very nicely I do not recommend putting spray foam underneath it.
