How to Install a Shower Enclosure | Mitre 10 Easy As DIY

Upgrading an old shower is a great way to refresh your bathroom. And if you’re simply replacing like for like, and don’t have to move any plumbing round, then installing a brand new shower enclosure is actually a job you can do yourself.

Anyone watching this, i followed this instruction to a T. Lesson learn: Triple the amount of adhesive on both sides. That 80mm gap between adhesive bead is far too wide, aim for 3-4 tube per side. You will not regret it. Add about 50-100mm horizontal bulk bead on the tray/aqua-line transition gap. Sit the liner like a tent (with the corner edge pointing up) for at least a day before installation, this will make the corner more sharp 90 degrees and get rid of any rounding. Spend a good 20min rubbing the adhesive through out the area of the liner. Pay closer attention to areas along bottom edge, and around the mixer. I cannot stress this enough! Good Luck.

Keeps everything legal so if anything goes wrong the licensed person will be responsible.

Nice video m8. Helpful as. But I might have added a bead of silicone to the top and bottom extrusion to make for a quieter action on that door. Might be overkill but yeah, nah?

Never mind, should have finished the video before I commented

[@mariakennedy1810]

Great guide, thank you. If you're installing an enclosed shower like this, do you need to do any waterproofing beforehand?

Nope, the shower liner is protection enough for the walls

[@scottboniface3423]

Make sure that there is Aqualine gib board or equivalent though before installation.

[@olah7777]

I'm looking to install the exact same shape/style of shower. How much variance is there from shower to shower in terms of the install? Can anyone tell me exactly which model/make this particular shower is? Thanks

[@roilhead]

You usually have the shower on hand before farming. What you can do is add the 4/2 on its flat facing the shower on critical areas such as the door and the slide rail of the shower head so there is less chance of missing with the screws later.

[@ROCKGOD.01]

Best to be safe in bathrooms to avoid moisture, but definitely have a chat with your local store to advise as each scenario/design will be different ^Charlie

Why did you not add the protective rubber matting underneath it in case it leaks ???

Can liquid nails be used as the adhesive, why I ask is that the plaster board has been treated with waterproof membrane?

Yes

No you need to use proper bathroom sealant as no more nails won't bond properly to pvc

My shower liner has started bubbling from the jib - coming away from the wall. How do I fix this?

[@hardworkingtaxpayer]

Remove and replace, possibly may have to replace the aqualine gib too.

[@martymcwhirter9864]

That would be because you had paint or stopping compound behind the liner.only thing you can do is remove it and do it properly

[@NZRmac]

I wonder if anyone has followed the instructions exactly, there's no plumbing for the mixer etc!

what is the reason for the jib aqua line to sit 10mm above the tray opposed to being hard against it?

[@rossy2998]

Probably so it doesn't rot if it gets wet

[@martinlove9694]

To allow for earthquake movement

[@MrFatboy192]

Gib manual says there should be silicone between the tray and gib, he missed that

[@dannysuru]

Because of Capillary action

[@tassie7325]

13:40 I'm confused as to why the silicone between the bottom of the frame and the shower tray has to go on the outside. I would have thought it was better to put it on the inside to prevent water from getting underneath the frame

[@mitre10nz]

Hi Mick, thanks for asking! If applied to the inside, water may leak through the profiles causing a damp patch. And if sealed on both the inside and outside, trapped moisture will stagnate within. ^Cam

[@tassie7325]

@@mitre10nz Thanks for the reply. But I think I didn't phrase the question properly. I meant, why not silicone on the inside rather than the outside. Not seal it on both the inside and the outside. Cheers

[@mitre10nz]

Thanks Mick. This is the most watertight solution is to silicone on the outside. If applied to the inside, water may leak through the profiles causing a damp patch. ^Cam

So what happens if you changing from a bath to a shower when the floor is concrete.. so the waste can't be fitted

You'd be best to speak to a plumber for the best advise 😊

You might have to add a false floor under the shower, that’s what I did. You will need to allow a drop for wastewater to flow if you know what I mean.
