Advice Wanted for Bathroom Renovation

I’m working on renovating an old mobile home to move into as my first house. I need some advice and help on the following things… 1) I’ve so far put up mold resistant drywall in nearly the whole bathroom, and have painted one coat of Kilz primer over all of it so far. How many coats do I need to do and should I put something additional on the walls (especially where the tub is) where a plastic shower liner will be glued in place. 2) The floors are not very level and I tried to level with a floor leveler but it didn’t work very well and turned into a textured sandy concrete mess that didn’t level out at all while it dried. Is there a way to sand? Or level that out any and what other product do you all recommend to level the floor more easily? I’m planning on putting linoleum/vinyl flooring down. 3) Finally I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how I could hide the gap between the shower/tub and the wall. The pipes to the shower head and tub are there and the washer is on the other side so keeping it accessible is wanted. Those are the main things I’m wondering about but if anyone sees any other glaring issues please let me know. And if I have really messed up anything please be nice I’ve never done anything like this before and the house is not going to be a forever home anyway. Thanks! submitted by /u/Ragnar-Alpaca [link] [comments]
