PatrickHello,
We have a house where the bathroom on the first floor is now about 17 years old.
Unfortunately, the shower is too small.
We want to install a walk-in shower.
Here is my rough approach:
Remove the old shower enclosure and the old shower tray.
Install a row of tiles at the bottom where the shower tray was, fit the walk-in glass enclosure, slope the floor slightly toward the drain, tile it roughly, and then it’s finished, right?
I plan to remove the PVC flooring outside the shower area.
There are old "tiles" on the floor there. I would like to install an electric underfloor heating system with new screed on top. Then tile it with porcelain stoneware tiles.
Is that correct?
Or am I doing it completely wrong? The wall tiles are still in good condition, so we want to keep them.
Just one large washbasin left, which I can simply replace, right?

Hey,
I can’t really help you, but I’m also very interested because I need to renovate my bathroom. My uncle, who is a plumber, mentioned today that these types of showers often have issues with waterproofing. He suggested that a low-profile shower tray, which you can almost walk onto level with the floor, is better. So, it’s slightly raised but only by a very small amount. My other uncle (this is getting complicated ^^) has a setup like that, and I have to say, it looks really good. Maybe that could be an option for you too.
But feel free to correct me 🙂
Best regards
