As we have another bathtub in our house, we have decided to remodel the wife's bathroom with a large shower stall instead of a tub unit.
Unfortunately, the area where the shower stall is just a tad short on the depth measurement. The existing 2 piece plastic tub measures approx. 30" from greenboard to outside edge of the tub. The width is a normal 60".
I really don't want to come into the room much farther as that will encroach on the toilet and moving it would be a REAL CHORE.
As a retired brick/stone mason, I'm sure I could build a concrete curb/base over a welded seam liner. But the outside chance that a leak would appear has me considering a premade retrofit base.
But all the bases or receptors, are at least 32" deep. Swanstone, Onyx, Kohler etc.
Do any of you plumbers our there know of a firm that can supply a 30" deep retrofit base? Of course if the price is so outrageous, a custom may not be practicable.
If I indeed HAD to move the toilet which is piped in iron pipe, is there simple way to move the closet bend (is that the correct term?) approx 6" to the left (as you face it)????
If we can get a suitable base, I'll be using marble tile over cementboard for the walls.
Please help, wife and I have looked at so many suppliers with no satisfactory retrofit base.
