Should I just replace that with a piece of drywall or work in a piece of Kerdi Board?ģ) Image 2 - Stud to stud across measures 60' and ~30' from edge of tile to stud.ģA) Should I remove the first row of tile in order to allow for the 32' ST and the shower curb?ģB) I need to remove the subfloor to allow the plumber to lower and relocate the pipe. Will I be able to blend that seam with the Kerdi Board and will it be paintable? This seam will be outside of the tiled area.Ģ) The lower area in both image 1 and 3 that the existing bullnose tile sat on that is under the existing dry wall. A few questions in regards:ġ) The first image shows the 'left' wall where I cut out the existing tile/wall and took it all the way to the stud. Now that I am going with this system, I need to finish prepping the studs and subfloor. It seems to be easier to work with as well from the videos I have seen. I would like to keep this as the same system. I am going to return the Durock that I purchased when we were originally just going to keep the tub surround and order the Kerdi Board. I have decided fully on the Schluter Shower System. I promise I am trying to search the forum, but I seem to keep coming up with oodles of posts that do not match exactly what I am looking for. Is there anywhere that I need to use silicone caulk before getting ready to tile? Do I need to follow this on joints where the plane changes? Once backerboards are installed, I have fibermesh tape that I will use on all the joints and then cover with thinset. Will I have any issues blending the joint where the backer board meets the drywall? I had to cut the wall a little further out than I would have liked. When I begin installing the backer board, what is my best approach? Does it sit on top edge of pan?

My only question here is correct way to prep subfloor and install the pan. With this being my first project, I am not going to experiment pouring my own shower pan.

I have decided to use a pre-fab shower pan such as FinPan or something similar. I am thinking of removing the rest of the wall up to the top edge of the window. I am going to have a plumber come in to remove the overflow pipe and relocate the valve up. Doing it right the first time is definitely my end goal. I believe myself to be very capable to complete this project, but would like to get feedback and recommendations from you all on a few items that are unclear to me. I have attached pictures of the subfloor and bare walls that we will be working with. We have demoed the tile/backer board and the tub. After throwing around several ideas, we decided to make this project a little more involved by converting the tub surround to a walk-in shower now. Not by choice, we were forced into our first tiling project. After several plumber visits and digging in the wall behind the shower valves, we found that the tile grout was letting water through, it was running along the lip of the tub and dripping down the front corner onto the subfloor. Several months ago, we had a leak from our upstairs master bathroom that presented itself in our kitchen through the kitchen light fixture. I am hoping to tap those resources here to help with my first tiling project. After extensive research on the internet, I decided to join in here because the resources and user knowledge seem to be very abundant.
