I am removing an old shower pan and rebuilding a new tiled shower. How do I construct a bench/seat on the back shower wall?


thanks


Hi Rich –


Congratulations on your bathroom remodel project building a new shower! What an awesome project!


One way that you could tackle adding a bench along the back wall is to build it in with the sheet rock while framing in the shower… then tile around the the ledge that you built right along with the shower tile.


You should place the ties on the bench seat at a little angle towards the front of the seat to keep water from pooling on the seat.


We went this route when when re-tiling a shower in our home. We built a ledge to hold shampoo and accessories.


Good Luck to you on yout shower remodel!
