Shower pan help

last year

We recently moved into an older house and found our master shower (which was a super cheap insert) was cracked and needed to be replaced. We decided to go with a shower base & tiled walls. We just got opened our new shower pan up in our bath and realized it has 3 flanges instead of 2. We only have 2 walls and planned on tiling those along with one glass wall and the glass wall/door on the long side (it’s a 42x60). I didn’t look close enough when I ordered it and my brain is fried from this entire ordeal. We also only have about 6 inches TOTAL between the end of the base and the soaking tub. Does anyone have any ideas on how to finish off the end so that we can attach a glass wall or how to build a 4 inch thick half wall?

Is the four inches you have at the rim of the tub?

Yes, I just double checked. It’s just slightly over 4 inches to the rim from the flange. 6.5 inches to the base of the pipes

Pay up for a custom tile shower. Trying to squeeze in a wall there will always look terrible and make that impossible to clean. It stinks but there it is.

The shower is too big and is crowding the tub. What you want is not doable. You need a smaller custom tiled pan.

Thanks everyone. I had a feeling we’d end up having to return it

Woah on that return please. Having a custom white gloss solid surface end cap/top fabricated and installed would be less hassle, waterproof, and look great. Stand your glass wall on top of it please.
