I just removed the old tub from my bathroom and want to replace it with a walk in shower. The shower will sit on a poured concrete floor. To form a sloped shower pan would normally involve laying a sloped mortar base then laying the plastic water barrier and then laying a final sloped mortar layer before tiling. My question is given the floor is already concrete can I just lay a sloped mortar bed and tile on top. I would prime the concrete floor and then lay the mortar.
I also need to make a curb for the shower which I believe is normally done by using 3 lengths of 2 by 4. Is there any reason I can't just pour the curb on the existing concrete after priming?
Thanks in advance for any advice
