Deck mud is a lean mixture of plain sand and concrete with enough water to activate the cement. Often, you can use piles of deck mud, then squish the pan down into it to level and support it. If things were leaking long, you may have to replace some of the subflooring, and that will give you other options like sistering the joists so the new subfloor will sit flat and level verses trying to level it afterwards. Once you have things out, measure how much you need to level the flooring, and come back.some of it depends on how bad it is. They need to be at right angles to each other, too. TO get the walls perfect, it's often easier to sister in new studs than trying to remove the existing ones (especially any wall that is a load-bearing one).
Those kits work best if everything is perfect, which is rare in a house.
Once you get the thing out, you'll want to check how plumb the walls are and how flat and level the floor is. It looks like you have a wooden subfloor. On some, they glue the panels to the wall surfaces, and you'd likely damage them when removing. As to whether you can reuse any or all of the thing, it depends somewhat on how it was installed. Thank you all and have a good day.įirst thing I'd try is to check with the manufacturer and try to get a set of installation instructions of the thing.
(see picture, trap at right is shower trap) Do I use a liner? Do we place the acrylic base in cement (what type of cement) to reinforce and remove flex? Can I use marine 3m silicone to seal that bottom base or what is the best silicone I can use? I used 100% clear but was not impressed. There is access to a crawl space and my beams are sitting on sand and and seems solid. How do I build that floor up? Plywood, cement board? How do I glue and fasten the material together that is being built up? How do I shim it and what material shims are best. Any suggestions on how to this right given what I got is appreciated. I will be taking the entire shower out if I can!! Given its only three years old I am hoping to reuse it again. The water has caused the floor to likely freeze and thaw during the seasons. I believe the seal between the wall panels and the base broke due to poor install and taking water. (see picture the gap here between the glass and the base is (1/4 to 1/2") What has happened is the base has dropped. I had a Mirolin shower with base installed three years ago.
