At the prices they want for prefab shower stalls ?? Prefab bases start at
around 600 bucks , surrounds 300 bucks and up . Looks like I'm going to be
building a tile shower ... materials should run around $275-$325 and labor
will be ...me . Sure glad I said yes when a former employer asked if I
wanted to work with the tile guy !

I faced that same realization a few years ago when I was looking to redo
my bath/shower. I was optimistic about the ~$100 panels, but then I
went to the store and discovered that they were flimsy plastic, and
overpriced at that.

I ended up doing a tub to ceiling tile job that I am very proud of, and
it turned out to be a good decision. Lots of work, but it was worth it.
