Standard Shower Pan Size Question

[Tonyscarface]

My mom's worn-out shower pan appears to be 28" X 48". With the exception of Alibaba, a search of the interwebs reveals no such beast. Can I get this size and if so, where? Thanks for any guidance.

48 x 32 is more common and now I see 48 x 30 can be had too.
You can also have one custom made from a poured marble mix or tiled mud set pan.

Thanks very much for that, Terry. All taken into consideration. I'd love to push the easy button and do a swap so if anyone can point me in the direction of a source for 48 x 30 (or darn near close), like all information, it's appreciated.

What's on the walls? It's often hard to impossible to remove an existing pan without tearing out at least part of the walls, and then, you might as well update the whole thing.

If you decide to do it with tiled surfaces, check out www.johnbridge.com.

You have to figure out how to tie any moisture management between the walls and the pan, too.

I think the code says the shower pan size must accommodate at a minimum, a 30" diameter circle, so one with a 28" dimension may no longer be legal.

Thank you. That's great information.
