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 !

Screw tile, too many grout joints to clean. Look to concrete countertops
i.e. fab shower wall panels just like the countertops, and fab a shower
pan base similarly.
