Need To Replace A Garden Tub With A Shower
Does anyone know of a surround shower that is 60" x 40 - 42" deep left drain? I can't seem to find one. My customer needs the accessibility of a shower pan and doesn't want the expense of a built in tile type. Right now they have a garden tub in the space that needs to come out and be replaced by this shower pan and walls. Preferably 3 piece as I doubt I can get a 1 piece in the room.
Thanks Paul |

Re: Need To Replace A Garden Tub With A Shower
No luck...I checked Kohler and Lasco web sites and found nothing. Kohler has a receptor (pan only) that's 42" deep, but it's also 72" long. Everything else is 36" or less.
A corian fabricator could probably make a custom pan and wall surrounds, but it ain't cheap. |

Paul, I'd go to the source...call plumbing suppliers.
You'll spend far less time searching. |

You could get a manufacturer like National Fiberglas make one for you custom, but the cost would be very close if not more than the price of tile.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll keep looking and try a supply house after the 4th.
Have a safe holiday. Paul |
