Help! Long horizontal crack in bathroom shower stall wall
Comments (14)If I "ignore" the issue, and just caulk over the crack, what's the worst that could happen? Second worst: Water leaks behind the caulk, destroys the studs behind the tile and the joists in the floor, and you have to rip out the whole shower stall, wall and floor and replace everything. And do mold remediation. Worst: Water leaks in there, destroys the studs behind the tile and the joists in the floor, and you step in the shower one morning and the joists give way and you and the shower stall end up in the basement. No fooling, this happened to a friend ... he caulked around the base of a leaky toilet because he didn't want to have to remove/replace toilet and fix the problem. About a year later he sat on the toilet and ended up in the basement because the joists had rotted. The paramedics were amused....See MoreBathroom exposed shower system help needed

Comments (4)Yes for glossy in the shower, great! white subway for the shower sides and the marble for the back wall ... kind of run the floor up the wall on the back wall of the shower? When you walk into the bathroom, are you looking straight at the shower wall? a few things to think about. Have you looked for bathroom tile ideas? small mosaic tile accents are too trendy, and don't always last the test of time. Why not just you the same large format tile for everything, including the niche, and so called accent? Classier. I am guessing you don't have the square footage to make the accents mean anything ... photo of the room would help....See MoreCan shower floor and bathroom floor tile be the same?
Comments (17)We have done larger tiles on shower floors. You MUST make sure the tile is meant for a shower floor - not just wet application. The you will have to have a trench drain. This way the floor of the shower can be pitched all in one direction to the drain. Something like this: Although the drain should be just about as wide ( or long ) as the shower is depending on the direction of the joists. Good luck!...See Moreaprilneverends
