    Corner shower stall
    Not much on home improvement... this is my first major project. I cutted my entire bathroom and removed everything but the corner shower stall "base" any suggestions on how to do this?

    It appears to be connected at the drain and I don't want to break anything...

    Thanks.

    Is your base tiled,those single piece (pvc type)? Eighter way it must come out. Your drain assembly may need to be replaced as well. Do you have access underneath the base area?

    Attach pics if possible. You will get better help from the super experts here like speedball..

    If it a fiberglass corner unit see if you can pull the drain cover off. Look down and see if there is a big rubber gasket surrounding the drain pipe. If so pry this rubber gasket up and out. The pan will now be free from the drain pipe.

    If this is not the case cut the unit up around the drain and then deal with the drain last.
