Tile Redi 3060L-PVC Shower Pan with Left Drain- Single Curb Shower Base, 2" PVC Drain, and Plate Included, 60" Width x 30" Depth

My Tile Redi Shower pan arrived damaged and unusable. I contacted Body-n-Home via Amazon and they immediately shipped out a new item to replace the damaged one. The immediate service and replacement allowed me to stay on schedule for my bathroom remodel. Thank you (Robert) Body-n-Home."Pam Wms

decent product. seems to get the job done. Not easy to install

This is a great product. It is extremely durable and easy to install. It maybe a bit expensive but it is worth the extra cost to prevent leaks in the future. Great product!

If you do not have access to the plumbing from either below or the side this shower pan is useless. Otherwise it's a good product. I feel it should of been stated in the product description. It really should have a removable drain assembly instead of it being integrated into the pan. It would be far more versatile then. I had to order from a different company, this item is NOT returnable so you'll be out 600 bucks.

The Tile-Redi shower pan is a great concept that doesn't really work well in practice. The idea of a completely sealed shower pan is very appealing; however, the plumbing has the potential to be difficult, and this is just one of many problems.In theory, you set this pan in a mortar bed, attach the plumbing and set your tile (all in one day if you believe the company video). It is hard to know where to start listing the issues, and I strongly recommend that you check DIY forums on-line to see what others think of the system because I can confirm that all the issues you will find are real.Plumbing: For a start, the drain is 2", as is code for a shower, but be aware that if you're replacing a bath or have an older home, the plumbing will likely be 1.5". Also, if you are replacing a bathtub, do not expect the plumbing to align; you will probably need to move the drain slightly, which will be an issue if your drain is set in a concrete slab. Which leads to my next point. I would discourage using the Tile-Redi shower pan for any installation where you do not have access to the plumbing from below. Since the PVC drain is glued/chemically welded to the house plumbing, you only have seconds to align and secure everything, and you'll be doing it blind whilst simultaneously trying to set the pan in the mortar bed. Watch the company video very carefully where they show the installation without access below and you will see the guy drop the pan in place and then lift it again before setting it once more; this is impossible with PVC welding, and it should tell you something about the impracticability of this system for such situations if the `pro' on the video can't get it right first time.Mortar bed: The pan will most likely not stick to the mortar bed. This is not an issue according to the company since it just needs to be supported; however, it will result in a hollow sound to the pan. Also, if you have to push down on the pan to weld the drain (as you will when installing on a slab), a gap will develop under the pan and it will flex. The only way to deal with this is to use concrete screws to attach the pan firmly to the mortar bed and slab, but then you've negated the whole point of the pan in the first place since you have put holes in it. I had to do this and then use the Kerdi membrane system to waterproof the pan, thus adding to the cost of this already expensive unit. Some people on-line recommended the use of thinset rather than mortar to set the pan because it's `runnier'.Tile Setting: The Laticrete (an epoxy adhesive) supplied is barely enough for the job. It also needs to be divided into two, which is very inconvenient because two of the three components are liquid and in bags, not bottles. This material is not easy to work with and only has a pot life of 45 minutes at best, so you need to be quick with your tiling.Matching Chrome Plate: This is a square accessory (not included) to make tiling easier because you don't have to tile up to a circular drain. In the company video you will see that it suddenly materialises in the completed installation, and there is a good reason for its miraculous appearance. There are no instructions on installing this plate when you buy it, but the company will tell you to `float' it on a layer of Laticrete, which, of course, you've already used up entirely for the tiling. Also, this plate will only work with pans having a central drain; it will not fit on pans with left or right drains (such as those used to replace bath tubs).In summary, I would avoid using the Tile-Redi shower pan unless you have access from below for the plumbing, and even then I would seriously advise against its use. I would recommend that you consider the Kerdi-Schluter system over Tile-Redi; I've seen nothing but positive reviews of Kerdi-Schluter.
