We have a partially finished basement. Our unfinished laundry had a toilet and sink in the corner. Both are ancient and we're going to replace them. Still, they're in the corner of our laundry room, so I was going to build some form of half/wall stall, fix the floor and...
...well then I realized I maybe should just go all-in and actually make it a proper enclosed bath. The question now is do we keep it a half bath or go for a 3/4 by adding a shower. It's in the basement, but given the location of the current main drain, it looks like I could easily add a shower on an 8" platform and still have plenty of slope for a proper drain without having to tear up the concrete.
Shower surrounds seem to come in 100 different models and manufacturers. Many are cheaply made. The question I have is: in general, are there particular brands/models/types I should avoid and or focus on? I'm looking for relatively small (probably 3' x 3' at the largest). A multi-piece would probably be a necessity given that this has to get into our basement.
