HGTV expert Amy Matthews takes you through the steps of replacing a shower P-trap in a major bathroom renovation where you're basically building the shower from scratch. Use a circular saw to cut away the subfloor to gain access to the P-trap. Make your cuts along the floor joists so that you'll have something to support the new subfloor. You may need to use a reciprocating saw to split the piece in two before prying it up. Cut the old drain pipe just behind the P-trap. Determine the location for your new drain based on your new shower layout, then position and attach your drain using the appropriate glue for your drain materials.
Get all the info you'll need on solid-surface bathroom countertops, and get ready to install an economical and attractive countertop in your bath space.
