The homeowners wanted the old tub gone and a shower that would be easy to step into for years to come. Once the surround came off, we found original drywall behind the tile, softened along the bottom edge, so we opened the wall to the studs.
We built a new sloped base, carried a membrane up all three walls and flood tested it before any tile went on. The stone-look porcelain runs in a stacked pattern, with the niche sized to land on full tile. A small hexagon mosaic on the floor follows the slope to the drain and gives good grip underfoot.
