Why not put in a swanstone base? We did with tile walls. We needed an unusual sized base and swanstone was the one available. Holding up just fine.

I've had a Swanstone base with tiled walls for over 9 years. It's held up just fine. The base still looks just about new.

Thanks. I've been leaning that way. was the swanstone base set in mortar? did you use Hardiboard and that red waterproof paint?

Yes, the swanstone base was set in some mortar. Unfortunately, the shower was done by a contractor before I knew better with just cement backer board. So far all seems dry though.

Hi ljp326,
Glad you're considering a Swan shower pan! If you've got specific sizing or installation questions, you can always email help@swanstone.com. Those folks are great at helping out in a pinch.

Hope that helps. Good luck on that beach house reno! Sounds fantastic!
