- From laying the mortar mix on the vinyl shower pan, to grouting and finalizing the tranquil pattern using travertine tile, Shane shows you the steps taken to convert a shower for handicap access. Everything you see in this video was completed in under 5 hours. Check out our other videos to see how to install a shower pan, mix grout, and install tile. We hope this helps you on your do-it-yourself home remodeling project.
Hopefuly this will be my Next project. I like the point made... You need at least a 15-minute shower. This, to get All the Corners! Cleanliness is next to Godliness!
Wow! I wasted 13 minutes of my life... But it was fun reading the comments.
People, if your searching UA-cam as a learning tool keep movving. THIS IS NOT the way it's done. Don't get taken in by his apparent confidence in himself.
We see showers constructed like this all the time. Unfortunately it will fail starting with the first shower. I would strongly suggest looking at the VIM Level Entry Shower System.
At the beginning of the video he stated and showed the membrane in place
+jerry Jones The way he installed it is absolutely unacceptable.
Why did you bust up the slab and not move the drain? Grout poured onto the mud bed mix? Huh...wtf is that about?
Rick Fountain
Thanks for the information 👍
Holy shit hahahahah 🤠 good work ain't cheap and cheap work ain't good!
Why is the drain not in the middle of the shower? plus never ever use 4×4 tiles. I hope they have no basement.
Looks like a skateboard ramp. Dorks
7:36 based on this installation one wonders
Do you leave the liner loose and put the mud on top..or how you dealt with it?
Hi, I haven't seem this type of tiling without adhesive. the screed looks great! Also you have no waterproof membrane.
Hi Shane thanks for the video. My father has ALS and we need to make a ground level shower accessible to him for a shower chair(wheelchair). Currently there is a fiberglass shower with a lip which I will remove. It sits on a concrete slab, which is already titled to the edge of the existing shower. We are trying to avoid relocating the drain. So Im am asking if you could recommend a low profile drain(the height of a standard floor tile) that we could just tile the slab to the drain? Thank you
lmaooo i was done when i saw that 2 inch piece of tile at the edge :'D :'D this is a joke from the start
No thinset?
All I have to say is OMG I hope this is your first shower.... This is not how you make a shower pan do not copy this wow wow hahahahahah setting tile without any thinset???? " use grout " hehehe do not do this in your own home... I don't want to say any more this is a joke.........................................................
Joey Bolohan you are correct....you actually use thinset but he said thinset will not work and he is wrong....ive actually used a modified or a full flex thinset and it holds really well....i would never use a grout for adhesive but to each his own....
I’ve never seen grout used. I have dusted straight Portland cement on a wet, wet bed. You don’t have to wait for the bed to dry. It’s a short cut but it does work.
Used to be, that is what tile was set in, the same material. Colored grout, we had to add color powder. Wash rag holders were always installed in and with grout. I don't see a problem with it and old school showers were installed in wet mud vertical and horizontal. I remember this because I was the knucklehead that had to mix the mud. I have done many repairs using only grout and have never had a failure. I think these guys know what they are doing.
In this case fo you used the floor mat
Moved in to handicapped equipped apartment but not handicapped. How do i make it so shower doesnt go on floor?
I am pouring a slab for a home and the customer wants a wheel in shower, should I leave the concrete out of that area until the tile guy starts?
I need to do this for my mom who now lives with me. Her bathroom is on the main floor above the basement. How can I do this with sub flooring?
I was hoping you could assist me with info on what my options are for installing a curbless shower.
Currently the 32"x60'" space is occupied with a fiberglass shower/tub insert with a typical (8" from side wall?) drain off to one side. It is in a concrete slab foundation. It we want to go curbless, how would we lower the drain enough to achieve an ADA accessible , roll in type shower? And if possible should we move the drain more towards the center of the 60" span? Thanks for your consideration
thewingenuity I’m sure the job got done, but you seriously don’t want advice from these guys. Holy mother of NOT to lay tile.
What a hack job
How to fit drain pipe in a concrete floor
Tile header should read "HOW NOT"
The gold chain is a nice touch... :-)
No spacing for the grout lines and no adhesive, I'm no expert but I don't see this holding up or lasting.
Thank you so much, I like to watch these type of videos for a good laugh, kinda pats me on the back letting me know how much of a artist I really am. West coast #muddawgs #bombsquad dont know what kind of Mickey mouse shit this was haha
Dude are you serious???? Your floor looks like a hammock with that v slope in the middle. Holy shit I hope your customer don't drown in there. Um putting tile down with dry grout? Jesus Christ man. "Thinset will not work" is that what you said? Funny how it works for me - every time. I could go on man but I'm done . . . No I'm not. . . Where is your shower valve at?
+Jason Spencer Yeah, was thinking the same. That thing is pretty much inaccessible for future installations. Not to mention, IF they are able to reach it somehow without ripping out tiles: how are they going to test if water leaks once the installation is (almost) done? Hope for the best and trust on their "skills" maybe, just like the rest of this build? There's sooo much going wrong, it's baffling. It really is. My jaw litterally dropped. If this dude is a licensed contractor, then I pity the people who hire him/them. And I surely do hope that people have some common sense and look for video's where tiling and placing shower pans went horribly wrong (demos) to see what this dude did wrong. Ooooh so wrong. SMFH
Imagine what shape its in by now! And “Tile Concepts” cashed that poor disabled guys check..long ago😢
Holly crap, and probably the old guy claims that the has 60 years of experience,,I suggest you to do a extensive research on how to do a shower floor,
Not hating but besides other problems that I see with this, the thing that stands out for me with a disabled husband is, that this show is just to tight "room wise". even if you wernt disabled there is hardly enough room to turn around in there. Disabled people need more room then most to do what needs to be done. Its just the way it is.....
Those travertine tiles are tumbled, the holes and crevises on tile are great home for bacteria growth. Not the best choice higiene.
This type of floor install has been done for 50 yrs it's called a wet set. The old timers built every shower this way and are still sticking today. The old tar paper liners are rotten but the tile is stuck.
Saying this I don't care for the 3" cuts in corners. And such a steep pitch of the pan.
john mcfarland I agree John.
way back in the dark ages circa 1974, we use to screed the mortar and use pure Portland as a bond to the damp cement. Then tap the tiles into place. This was done over a lead pan.
Not sure about the grout as a bonding agent but at least it has latex. That didn’t come in till late 70’s.
Those old showers lasted years!
What, not even a pan-table water proof membrane?! I hope that doesn't leak...too much!! ../o/..
P.S ummm... Did you board/float and tile right over the valve handle too?
(xD)
+ourd0gseven There's actually a waterproof membrane, but the way he installed it is absolutely unacceptable. He's going to have leakage without a single doubt and ruin at least the sub floor, not to mention the walls. For some reason I think this "shower" was already ripped out long time ago due to mold, water leakage and unstable floor tiling (for obvious reasons). ^^
The materials and techniques shown in your video are NOT best practices recognized by the tile industry for an installation of this type. I refer you and all of your viewers to the Tile Council of North America (TCNA) Handbook and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard Specifications for the Installation of Ceramic Tile (ANSI A108). I strongly encourage you to obtain these publications and learn the methods, details and best practices for all types of installations they contain.

Tile Fail!
I foresee many MANY future problems with this shower pan (which should be right about now if not earlier already).
1) No waterproofing done or proper installation of the water membrane
2) Wall tiles should sit on top of floor tiles (in showers)
3) Wrong type of tile. You're giving an open invitation to bacteria that you seriously don't want in your house
4) No thinset at all used. Didn't even wait for the mortar to dry out before placing the tiles on top of it. Mortar is not thinset!
5) Sloping a shower pan doesn't mean making it go into a V-shape from the sides to the center of the pan
Oh boy..... o.O
As a tile master .....This is the most fucked up video I've seen
Tonybone Robert IKR?!
Hi Shane, no hot moping, no Sir this will fail and in no way would pass city inspection here in CA. I have never in my 40 years in construction seen anyone do a shower floor this way, you always hot mop or use a waterproof membrane that's approved. Also, the way you'll apply the grout is so unprofessional, you'll don't know or have been through the wrong way.
At least it'll be easy for an actual tile professional to demo once it starts to fail.
That's the kinda shower I like demoing a month later..... No tools needed. What a loser.
Upon futher review....what a fucking disaster.
:)
Epic fail...
Lol
Wtf are you doing?
