Where can I obtain step by step directios on converting a partially tub into a full hip bath? I have partially the new shower space covered near greenboard but...
I have partially the new shower space covered near greenboard but the rest is just out in the open concrete blocks. The floor has have the tiles removed and is wood. The toilet is right next to the open space and the sink is next to that. Its a enormously small space but I am stuck doing this on my own. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your concern must meet the code (space for maneuver),other prudent you can not change the location of the features.
Once again, I agree beside Doc, don't use the greenboard, really fairly worthless contained by the shower. Building code in my nouns demands that a concrete based substrate must be used within wet areas of the bathroom. I use Hardi-Backer, but nearby are other types available as well. It is great for installing tile or stone, will serve to get a completely long lasting shower.
Step by step instruction is difficult (actually impossible) in need seeing your bathroom and having no road of knowing how your plumbing is set up.
Answers: First of adjectives you should remove the greenboard.
What you don't state,,, IS shower "Plumbing" already installed? You also don't state your intent for the stall. Tile? A Built in surround? Etc.
If the plumbing and electric exist already, next a permit is expected unnecessary.
Beyond the shower stall, you should consider concrete backer board as a substrate OVER the current wooden floor substrate.
HELP within your case is simply suggestions about what to use, opinion about how to install. It seem physical help might be something you can conscript.
I will assume you'll remove the toilet and sink to replace after the fact.
