Questions & Answers
Does installing need mortar?
Yes, the DreamLine SlimLine shower base requires installation in a bed of mortar to provide proper support and ensure the base is level. The mortar should be applied according to DreamLine's installation instructions. We recommend following the manufacturer's guidelines carefully to ensure proper installation and prevent movement or damage to the shower base.
Can you put a shower door this floor pan?
Yes, the DreamLine SlimLine 60" x 36" shower base is designed to accommodate a shower door or enclosure. Be sure to select a door that fits your finished wall-to-wall opening and is compatible with the available threshold width. DreamLine offers several compatible 60" shower door options. Thank you for reaching out!
What motar base is used on this shower base
DreamLine recommends installing the SlimLine shower base in a bed of mortar or another suitable bedding material for proper support. A standard sand-and-cement mortar mix can be used; avoid products containing stones or large aggregate that could interfere with leveling. The mortar should be applied beneath the base according to DreamLine’s installation instructions, while keeping it clear of the drain area. Thank you for reaching out!
You answered that the Dreamline base can be used with the Nextile walls by Bootz but it has to be installed correctly. The surround will have to be installed correctly for all applications correct?
Yes, all shower wall surrounds must be installed according to their specific installation instructions. However, proper installation does not guarantee cross-brand compatibility. The DreamLine SlimLine base and Bootz NexTile walls were not specifically designed or tested as a matched system, so compatibility depends on factors such as the base’s tiling flange, wall dimensions, and how the NexTile panels interface with the base. For a manufacturer-approved installation, it is best to use the NexTile walls with a compatible Bootz base.
Is this a non slip surface
Yes. The DreamLine SlimLine shower base has a textured, slip-resistant floor surface designed to provide added traction while showering.
Is the shower pan 36 inches wide from edge to edge or is the inner part 36 inches wide and edge to edge more like 40 to 42?
The 36" measurement is the overall outside depth of the shower base, from edge to edge. The inner standing area is smaller than 36". The full base measures approximately 60" x 36" overall, so you do not need a 40"–42" space to accommodate the base.
How thick is mortar bed supposed to be for shower base
For the DreamLine SlimLine shower base, the mortar bed should be approximately 1 inch thick, using enough mortar to provide full support beneath the base without raising it excessively. The mortar should not be placed under or around the drain fitting. Set the base into the mortar while it is still workable, then level it according to DreamLine’s installation instructions.
Contractor redid bathroom 6 years ago and installed the shower pan without mortar. Now it creaks and flexes. What recourse do I have? Can the contractor be forced to come back and tear it out and redo with mortar?
We’re sorry you’re dealing with this. The DreamLine SlimLine shower base requires installation in a bed of mortar or another approved bedding material to provide proper support. If it was installed without the required support and is now flexing or creaking, the installation should be inspected because continued movement could eventually damage the base or drain connection. Whether the contractor can be required to return after six years depends on the contractor’s workmanship warranty and applicable state/local laws, so DreamLine cannot determine that obligation. We recommend documenting the movement and contacting the original contractor first. You can also contact DreamLine Customer Support at 1-866-731-8378 to confirm the installation requirements for your specific base. Thank you for reaching out!

Customer review from homedepot.ca
Since this purchase was made through Home Depot, shipping timelines and fulfillment are handled through the retailer and their distribution network. We recommend continuing to work with Home Depot regarding delivery delays and any incorrect sizing received.
Regarding the size concern, shower bases are manufactured to specific finished dimensions listed in the product specifications. It’s important to confirm the exact model number and published dimensions prior to installation, as some bases are designed to fit within framed openings rather than match nominal framing dimensions exactly. If your unit measured differently than the published specs, that’s something we would absolutely want documented.
If you experienced damage upon arrival, we strongly recommend not installing a damaged unit. Please contact DreamLine Customer Support at 1-866-731-8378 so the team can review the model details and any damage concerns directly.
We understand how disruptive this has been and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
