Greetings, I desperately need to replace the (at least 10 years) old shower base in my basement (see photo with measurements at:
However, the *drain location* proved to be a HUGE problem: After spending a lot of time in local hardware stores (including Home Depot and ACE Hardware), I discovered to my horror that they are not able to sell me such a 36" unit with a drain location identical to the one I have (8" from each side). :-(
I then started searching and researching the Internet. I found quite a few manufacturers that produce 36" neo-angle units, but it seems that the common drain location nowadays is about 12", not 8". :-(
A list of the manufacturers/brands I found so far is listed at the bottom of this page:
While visiting those stores, I was given suggestions such as power-hammering the concrete floor to change the location of the drain or installing a "standard" 36" shower base on a raised platform (thus allowing to fit an elbowed pipe to the existing drain location) - but these solutions are highly undesirable.
Is there anyone out there who have seen such a "weird" unit? Know where I can purchase one? Know someone who can help find one?
If so, I would forever be grateful for eternity.
Thank you very much! Lynn
P.S. I am actually looking for an entire shower kit (plastic walls, glass sides and door, etc.) but I believe this is not a big issue.
