I need to replace a corner shower in a basement. Since we want a tub, but there is really no room, if colour is not an issue, and a proper frame was built, could a fish pond liner (since they come in so many shapes and sizes) be used as a custom bathtub? If it is possible, what would need to be done differently than putting in a fiberglass bathtub? Thanks bunches. Leslie

Hi everybody. I completely guttted the only bathroom in my 1980's townhouse, and am turning it into two standard 8'x5' bathrooms. One is 90% done (workers grouted the shower and floor tile today). The other is all greenboarded and mudded, but no cement board yet. I know the guys working on it skipped a step here or there, and am curious 1) what I can expect and 2) What I can do to fix said problems, keeping in mind I intend to move within 3 years. Bath 1 (The almost done one) - Greenboard walls, lightweight mud - 1/2 durock on floors and tub surround. Floor has 1/2 inch plywood subfloor. durock screwed directly to studs with no moisture barrier in tub surround. They used a durock floor patch for the seams, but no silicone anywhere. - 8x8 ceramic tile, secured with OmniGrip, and grounded with a non-sanded grout, with 1/16 spacers, on entire floor and from tub to ceiling. They also grouted the seam where the tile meets the tub base. - Workers don't think sealing is necessary, but I disagree. Bath 2 - Same green walls and mud. - 1/2 durock floor on 1/2 ply. - 1/4 Hardiboard purchased for neo-angle shower, and after reading I will install a plastic moisture barrier. On one shower wall, the workers put up greenboard. I know people used to tile right on that, but I hear that is advised against heavily these days. So i figure I will throw Hardiboard over that. - Same tile, adhesive, and grout everywhere, but with 1/8 spacers this time on the floor. I know there are alot of problems above, some more concerning than others. But in terms of absolute disaters-in-the-making that must be addressed, lay it on me! Thanks! Brandon
