Corner Shower Pan Replacement - DIY Or Professional Installation?
I don't know that there has ever been a survey on where people position their showers in the bathroom, but an educated guess tells me that the majority are corner showers. There can be two general reasons for this; firstly many bathrooms are small and their owners have little option but to install their shower in the corner; secondly in a large bathroom using a corner can be more aesthetically pleasing for the overall design.
If you are one of those who already have a corner shower then when it comes to repairs and replacing the base, you will be in the market for a corner shower pan. But are corner shower pans any different from any other shower pan? Basically the answer to that is no, as any shower pan will fit in the corner whether it is for a square, rectangular or neo angle shower. Some though are designed specifically for use in the corner of a bathroom, and one of the best examples of that is the neo angle shower. Many who are looking for a corner shower pan will end up choosing a neo angle shower pan.
The best place to buy a corner shower pan is from a local hardware store or bathroom showroom. Because installation of a shower pan or base is no easy task it is best to have it professionally installed unless you truly know what you are doing. If you are an accomplished plumber or DIY enthusiast with genuine talent for this type of work then you may want to try the installation yourself, with a bit of help from a shower pan installation course of instruction.
