Bathroom remodel

[phylodog]

I need to get my master bath redone. I need to replace the shower pan and possibly the tub. Anyone know of a good place to shop for these near the NE side of Indy?

Do you mean as in, DIY......or are you shopping for someone to take on the work?

I went the lazy route and just called Bath Fitters.

I wouldn't mind paying someone to do it (if I could afford to) but for now I'm looking to price out the materials and I might do it myself.

You want to keep the tub? Why are you wanting to replace the shower pan?

You want fiberglass surround or tile?

Tile. The shower pan is old and ugly, if I'm going to replace the walls I may as well put a new pan in also. Depending on which way we go as far as tile I may need to replace the tub as well to match. I don't really know at this point, haven't even looked at tile yet. I know my wife is fond of the all white, sterile look so the tub might stay.

Odds are that it's not a custom size. Lowe's or any other big box store will be the cheapest place to get a replacement pan. Use Hardi board for the walls. Forget the Hardi screws, use glue and nails. Use epoxy grout and you don't have to worry about sealing the grout.

Depending on size, I might have enough granite that you might be interested in.
