Hi all

Would some one please guide me into replacing a disabled shower unit with a bath

Basically we moved into a new house in the last year and have now decided to do the bathroom up as our baby boy is now 9 months and has outgrown his baby tub.

However the main bathroom was converted into disabled walk-in shower unit by the previous vendor of the property, for use by their diabled daughter; so its got wide doors and long flat shower tray/base.

I would like to replace this unit with a bath but I'm not sure how the plumbing is currently laid out - presumably its all under the shower tray/base - until I've ripped it out, then I have the task of working out what is what and how to fit the new bath etc.

Any help and advise will be fully appreciated. Thank you very much

Regard

Manny

Hi

In our En-suite shower, the base has cracked and we need to replace it. However the curent drainage is in the top end middle of the base and the new one we'd like to get has its drainage hole in the corner.

I am not sure what to do and how I can link the drainage to current system once we've removed the cracked base. Any useful advise willo be welcome

Thanks

That "long flat shower base" might be a streak of good kuck for you.
This sounds like there was a tub in before that was converted to a shower. If that's so then you're already roughed in for a bathtub. Is the shower drain next to the wall in the long end and about 15 inches away from the wall in the center next to the wall? Congratulations! All you have to do is remove the shower base and the tub trap will be in place to set a bathtub without any repositioning of the fittings. You will have to install a new tub valve and spout but since the water's already there that shouldn't be too much trouble. Good luck, Tom
