Bathroom remodel. Let's hear it

Before/during/after photos involved. Found a pinhole leak in the soldering behind my tile, so I had to go full-fledged remodel. Not my first bathroom to remodel, but was my first time soldering; part of me wishes I'd done whole thing in copper but I opted for pressing pex. Curiously hear feedback. Went with a Nextile tub/surround system from HomeDepot. Only problem with this relates to the valve-wall - it's a slide/connect system so even though I measured and cut out exact holes for the mixing valve, etc .. I had to cut them way bigger to slide the wall up/over/around so it would connect with the shelf-wall. This system would be awesome for a new-build, but it proved painful for a retro-fit where I didn't have access from the backside of the bathroom. submitted by /u/i_hate_the_yankees [link] [comments]
