You didn't specify whether you have vinyl planks or laminate. You would not have to put anything under the vinyl, but you need underlayment if it's laminate.
I'm about to do the same thing on the shower like this one and the bath in the other room. One thing I wanted to point out is that shower door. Whoever made mine cut the seal 2 inches short so moisture got in and did the same thing with the mildew / mold.Update #2: I am going to do the floor myself after all. The kicker was thinking about strangers parading in and out of my house during a pandemic.
Question: I'm going to put quarter-round down along the baseboard after the floor is installed. Currently there's no baseboard along the front of the shower stall (see photo). Do I need to put quarter-round there too? And if not, should I instead just caulk that one area?View attachment 24346
Congratulations!@slownsteady I believe they are vinyl. They came with a cork backing, if that helps. The contractors who saw them both said they don't need underlayment.
I completed the project today. Knocked a few firsts off my list with this one: vanity install, toilet remove/replace, flooring install, and use of a nail gun. For firsts I think I did a decent job, but next time I do this it will go even better. Thanks for your help, everyone!
@slownsteady Well, sort of.
Removing/replacing the toilet would have been easy except the previous owners (ugh) installed it without a wax seal (!!) so it was disgusting and all rotted away under there.
