[QUOTE="Shoot Summ, post: 1344578, member: 1055"] You need to visit the tile forums are johnbridge.com... I can also give advice, I've done a couple of showers. So, the plan for now is: 1. New cement backer board all around. This is good, you can use blueboard if you use a membrane like Ditra over it, I prefer cement backer. 2. Rubberized spray or roll-on sealant. Not really necessary but won't hurt, it is expensive, I only used it behind the shower seat, and around the niche. 3. MAYBE new shower pan (do I need one of these?) You MUST have a pan, PVC liners are easy to do, the curb, and the slope are a bit more involved. 4. Maybe skip the shut off valves Most shower valves don't have shut offs. 5. Tile the walls and floor. Good idea, other wise you will need the waterproofing membrane on the cbu... :) Consider tiling the walls up to the ceiling. 6. Sealed and painted cement backer board on the ceiling. Not necessary to use CBU on the ceiling unless you plan to tile the ceiling, blue board painted works just fine, you would have to use a ton of drywall mud on the cbu to level it out. 7. Farm out an electrician to put in a light (always needed a light in this shower anyways) Install a fan/light combo to remove the moisture. 8. New carpet in the living room in a few months, maybe. I don't like carpet 9. Oh, and new shower doors... I kinda got a little... enthusiastic with the removal of the old ones when they got stuck. <coughcough> Call Tulsa Glass and Metal and get frameless glass... [/QUOTE]
