I have a concrete floor in my bathroom. There is a cutout in the concrete for the bath tub (it was never poured under the tub). I want to remove the tub and make it a curbless walk in shower area. There is sand under the tub.
I have some ideas how this might be done, but would like to hear from those who have done it, or know how it is done.
I can drill into the concrete floor (on each side of the sand pit) epoxy rebar stubs into the surrounding floor, then wire rebar onto the stubs, float in a new concrete shower floor, then tile it... But I wonder if that's all it takes to create a quality - no problem shower floor. Is it as simple as that? Do I need to include a membrane or is a good concrete (Jet Set) with a lot of rebar all that is needed?
Your comments are appreciated.
