[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1345037, member: 9374"] $1600 to start from Lowe's and that's for standard sizes. I can't afford that right now. Did some research on the prefab shower pans (tile-over type), but those start from $400 to $600 online, waiting for a week or two, plus shipping. Plus, my plumber buddy didn't have great things to say about them... he said they're ok, but you have to work around them and make everything else line up with it, instead of the other way around. Yup, it's all bare studs and cement floor now. There may be a lead barrier under the floor cement, but I didn't dig down that far. Just got the tile off for now. Not sure how deep I wanna dig. I may just flatten it out and put my new showerpan over the top. From everything I've seen, there wasn't a lick of lead, rubber, plastic or anything anywhere in that shower. Whoever the tool was who put it in that way didn't have a good showerpan, which is why the tile at the base cracked and leaked, which is why I am in this situation now. If I find out who he is, he better :bolt: or he'll get a swift kick in the nuts from me! Or one to the hip! :chop: [/QUOTE]
