It is a project that yields a pretty good return on investment when you consider all the other projects you may look to complete for home remodeling. Otherwise you have to break through the concrete to run a new line for a shower stall installation. If you want to install a shower over a concrete floor a fiberglass shower stall will work just fine. If the subfloor is wood waterproof it before using self leveler and before spreading mortar or adhesive.

Installing a shower over a basement drain is relatively a simple project. If the floor is not level the shower pan will not be able to drain properly. Then install the membrane over the mortar bed and over the drain base and cut out a section over the drain hole in order to attach the center part of the drain on which the weep holes are located. The most efficient and least expensive method of installing a basement shower without the need to break concrete is to install it over existing plumbing stub outs.
