Had a shower base installed that was not a solid fit to the cement floor and
would flex when stepped on. Not a good plumbing installation. Manufacturer
recommended using foam.and it did the job real well. Right now the base is
solid and doesn't move at all. Probably not as good as cement but don't be
afraid to use foam--use plenty of it such that it expands well beyond the
parameter of the base.

The manufacture suggests setting the new acrylic shower pan in a bed of
cement to add support I guess. My question I hope not that stupid, Is
something like a mortar mix better than cement mix? would I use a "stiff"
mix and just trowel it out so the pan "seat" itself? Anything better then
using cement? Expanding foam?
