Spring Home Improvements: Replace your shower base

Want to do some quick and easy inexpensive home improvements this summer? Then replace your shower base.

A shower base, sometimes known as a shower pan or shower tray, makes up the bottom part of a shower enclosure. The purpose of a shower base is to provide a firm base to stand, and to collect water for drainage inside of a shower stall. Normally they are made of acrylic or fiberglass, but high-end shower bases can be made of composite molded materials resembling marble or stone. It is safer to have a shower base made of materials that create a non-slip surface when water and soap scum collects in the tray.

Replacing a shower base can get very costly; as it is cheaper to replace than to repair. For self-installation always remember to pay attention to the joints between wall tiling and the shower pan to avoid water leakage. However, professional installation is highly recommended.
