Solutions For Dealing with Gaps between Existing Flooring and New Bathtub or Shower Installation

http://www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/bathrooms/index.html Click on this link for more information on bathroom design and remodeling. If you have a gap between the existing flooring and a new bathtub or shower unit, you will have a couple of choices. The most cost-effective way will be to place a small piece of trim at the bottom, covering the gap. However, you can always move the new bathtub or shower away from the back wall, in order to reduce or eliminate the size of the gap and add drywall, a shelf or trim to the back wall. Watch the video for more information and if you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comment area.
