Nice video, 2 tips 1st use the Loctite shower wall backer adhesive 2nd. Put painters tape on the wall next to the edge. That way when you seal the boarder with the clear locktite all the excess adhesive that comes out will get on the tape and not the wall. Good video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Video was very helpful. I bought a 1983 Heritage RV and the bathtub is still in good shape but the original walls were made of this same thin material and has a ton of cracks. I was looking for something inexpensive and lightweight to replace it with and it looks like what you used is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the demo.

Thank you so much it was actually what I needed to install that shower shell correctly.

Wow, I wish everyone was as precise as you. Fantastic!

Years ago I replaced a bath tube and shower surround, I think it was a lower quality material. It used a double stick sort of tape to hold the surround to the drywall. Had to redo it with adhesive. Good idea filling those shelf voids with expanded foam, it’ll keep moisture out if it cracks.

Looks really good. Actually it looks great for that price point. God bless you and your.

Great video. Should have thousands of views. Thank you for your patience and thoroughness for us DYIs.

thanks for taking the time to share this. I have to put off a bathroom remodel and this is just the stopgap measure I was hoping to find.

Love this video , you totally addressed a project I need to do in my own home !! Thank you..

I wear latex gloves whenever working with an an adhesive. Great technique using the 2 products.

Well Done Sir! I have been in the trades (Pipe Fitter/Plumber) since the 80's. I really liked your tutoring and explanation. i have installed a ton of fixtures in my years in the trade, but never knew the method for using the adhesives, i just assumed get as much on the panels and mash them together, thank you for your knowledgeable instruction. i was suffering from sticker shock for the wife's "Honey Do It Now List!" and was considering FRP due to what the actual cost of the molded surrounds cost. i definitely will be moving forward with the FRP board.

Thanks for the video. ❤

Put one of these up over plaster walls in a then 60 year old house. It is still holding up to this day.I also filled the molded shelves with foam, rigid foam though that I cut to slip in and glued it as a reinforcement. I picked the panels up at the restore for 20 bucks.

Great video just what I needed

Thanks for this video. Im needing to remove the shower walls in the place im renting a d replace them as they're coming away from the walls a d the caulking has deteriorated so much just in the year i moved in. I know my landlord likely wont do anything about it so was hoping the process would be easy and fast. This video makes me feel like i can do this quite easily with virtually no carpenty experience

Great job!

You do great work man!! Thank you for the video!!

Got me thinking I can do this 🤔. My husband is gonna be sick of me next weekend 😂.

This was good want to see finished project

I have an old tub and the tub has a lip that is right up against the stud. I was debating if I can lay the drywall directly on the tub or if I need to leave a small 1/8 gap between it and the tub. If so, won't it be more difficult to seal with the silicone? I guess I would need to slowly squeeze the silicone into the 1/8 crack? Thanks for your reply. Perry

Useful that..Useful.

Can this same application be used on vinyl on gypsum walls (manufactured home)

Thanks for the video! Great job! Do you know if there is a glue up, shower "only" wall surround for the same price point? Would love to do this for my shower. Thanks!

dein sheetrock can get soft tho might push a hole thru the whole thing?

Any tip on keeping the bottom steady? Since it’s flexible, it causes the caulk to go bad quick

Where did you get the shower wall material? And what is the name of it.

I enjoyed watching how you put everything together. We are in the process of doing our bathroom. Where you buy your inexpensive wall panel at for that price?

question? what if you were using outdoor sheeets of white 1/2 inch plastic? and nothing else on top of it.. then could you caulk the bottom edge and slide it into a tight you made the gap in between the shower wall sides and where they will meet with the walls? and then clean the edge and apply another bead of caulk completely around the whole bottom edge of the shower pan where it meets the wall?

You are not supposed to use regular liquid nails, power grab or any adhesive that is not approved specifically for polystyrene... it says on the back of liquid nails and power grab that it's not approved for polystyrene.... liquid nails and loctite have products specifically for polyethylene showers

Great idea. Now buy question is: Have you found a product of a bit more quality but similar principles?, Thanks

I watched this video just to see how to deal with the window. My homes builder put a nearly full size window in the shower. Plus the window sill is tilted inwards and catches water. 😅

I can't find this on their site

Thank you. Can I do this over existing ceramic tile? Q2- do they come with patterns

Sheet rock that should’ve been hardy board underneath that stuff you can’t lay anything water barrier up against sheet rock it’s literally just gonna crumble and grow mold quickly

So you didn't use surround for the inside of the window well ? And is there a trim channel that caps over the surround on the corners on the market ? Thx

Thanks so much for the through video. My question is regarding the panel not touching the wall. Im imagining you crea the small gap by using a shim when installing. After the adhesive cures, do you fill the gap with the sealant? You said he word adhesive in the video, but I was hoping for a little more clarity on that seam.

How long did it take to dry the behind the wall glue before putting caulk sealant at edges?

just a fyi glues break down over time when in a moist environment. hope it works out for you

did you put a layer of waterproofing membrane prior to using the liquid nails to put up the wall?

How about putting this over tile? What types of primers would I need if it is possible? And where the panels meet on the flat part of wall do I need to caulk those? I have the ugliest dam grey tile in a tiny bathroom with no window. Ugh

Hi! Can i put this over existing bath tiles? I want to remodel my bathroom but I don't want to tear anything down lol

I want to see the total installation of the window side. That's the most difficult part.

Was the window already there, or did you put in the window? Where can you find a window like this? Thanks!

Hi Li, Thanks for all your videos! I have a question. I want to replace my current tub' wall surround with a new one. I bought my house 9 years ago. The surround was already in there. It had held pretty good over the years! No complaint. When I removed the existing surround, the drywall found behind was the regular grey color sheetrock; it was in a very good condition so I think I am going to keep it, but the drywall joints were not taped or mudded. Is it necessary for the drywall and joints to be taped, and mudded, before installing the new surround?

???? Ok ...I am doing this ... last time I used 2 separate pieces on the window side ... with a vertical trim filler strip under the window -- the window is full size -- ??? how and what did you use to cut out the faucet handles --- I have a 3 handle tub faucet I am going to use --- just like the original ... thank you in advance ...

Could I install on top of existing ceramic tiles?

How is that white thingy called?. It is not a tile, but... what material is it? and where do you get kind of sheet?

Can this be applied over tile and if so what adhesive should be used?

Any tips on putting this over a tiled tub?

What do you use to trim the outside edges?

JUST SO you know, liquid nails specifically states its not for use on the plastic tub surroudns are made of

Are these 3 big panels? Or small pieces like tile?

I need help fit

can we get a 4month update on this?

I just purchased the same surround...great video! What did you use to finish off/trim in the transition from the shower walls to the drywall above it?

Where do you buy the panels?

Where do you buy the $99 shower wall and what did you use to finish the edge of the walls?

Where you did bought that type of surround walls?

Can I put this on duroc?

Water are these types of walls called

Aren't you supposed to use backer, something that is water proof?

The iCloud photos are missing.

🇸🇻👍🏻

Do you like I can appreciate doing things on the fly on the cheap and doing what you Gotta do to get it done but this is got to be temporary this is opening up a family to some serious risks that won’t be known until it’s obvious everybody’s sick mold will grow behind walls quickly and easily throughout that entire bathroom and you won’t even know it on the other side of that wall Sheet rock regardless if it’s painted is not waterproof or water resistant whatsoever I wouldn’t doubt if there’s already mold growing either underneath or behind that shower wall what a nightmare black mold is one of the most serious problems that America is just now beginning to wake up to the builders that don’t know what they’re doing and especially those who are working on bathrooms with water should definitely understand how important hardy board is

I've watched 3x and still didnt hear whzt kind of wall material you used instead of the typical acrylic surround-the-tub package.

What the hell is that little bitty window in the shower .. 😂😂

They are junk after a year

I would never install that crap in my house. The amount of work getting your walls perfectly flat and square would be insane. You might as well tile if you are going to put that much work into it.

😮😢use gloves

Clickbait. Nothing about $99 shower walls.
