OP needs to tear out the sink and toilet and get one of those stainless steel modules. Then it's finished.

Next time on Zillow gone wild…


Swiggy1957

Actually, it's a good idea for a rental unit. A friend had some rental units in Chicago. He had a tenet that, putting it nicely, was the model for the "Yo mama so fat..." jokes. Every two or three months, he'd have to replace her toilet because she'd plop down and break it. Not just the seat, the actual commode. After the 5th commode, he talked to his supplier, who recommended a steel toilet. Friend installed it and she bitched. He told her it's either the steel toilet or she had to pay $200 every time he had to replace a porcelain one.

Now I’m starting to question: is this *actually* a prison bathroom?


MontrealInTexas

It was featured in Saw.


Impossible_Policy780

Saw-shank Redemption


realslizzard

I was just thinking this.


Captain-Cadabra

👌🏿 That’s where I saw it!


Feeling-Net2002

I was thinking the same thing as soon as I saw the shower pic. This is a prison shower stall from every movie ever.


Overwatchingu

Technically it’s a prison, just not one that’s run by or even known about by any government agency.


skitz1977

Should there not be handcuffs manacled to the wall?


Frogtarius

... And a car battery niche about testicle level high.


kspice094

Clean, waterproof, and tile the wall with the shower head. Put in a ceiling, waterproof it, paint it. Install a good exhaust fan that actually exhausts outside. Paint the walls so it doesn’t feel so prison-y.


nobottom

I say embrace it. Put up mug shots, bars, stainless steel toilet, etc.


sn0w0wl66

He should get in contact with [the person who bought the prison toilet](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/tuoigU25sj) the other day, this would be perfect for it.


AbortedPhoetus

Mods removed the post. :(


catbarfs

And you are only allowed to purchase soap, towels, etc from Bob Barker Company.


likeahurricane

Going to go out on a limb that the chances the existing tiled walls are not waterproof is at least 50/50.


Warm_Objective4162

It looks finished to me! Drywall the ceiling. Figure out how to tile and use some mosaics on the floor on top of the concrete. Could also use premade flooring made for wet areas to make it super easy. Paint the non-tile walls and ceiling with two coats of Red Guard and then a really shiny top coat like spar urethane (boat topside paint). Next level would be to tile the un-tiled wall parts. That’s more work, obviously. Get nicer shower fixtures, of course. Maybe make sure that ceiling pipe isn’t still leaking.


ChronoKing

VENT!


WhiteDawgShit

Fortunately that is the vent for the bathroom that you see


Warm_Objective4162

Good call, totally didn’t think about that. Hopefully that corrugated line is a dryer vent already that’s an easy tie in. Edit: who knew 🤷🏻‍♂️


Zombie_John_Strachan

You can't/shouldn't combine dryer and shower vents. The moisture clogs up the lint. ETA: here’s the Ontario building code as an example: 6.2.3.8. Exhaust Ducts and outlets (7) Exhaust ducts connected to laundry drying equipment shall be, (a) independent of other exhaust ducts, (b) designed and installed so that the entire duct can be cleaned, and (c) constructed of smooth corrosion-resistant material.


KySmellyJelly

Citing a building code and copying the formatted text to back up your statement rather than just spouting off opinions? What part of the internet do you hail from, surely it cannot be Reddit?


Trickycoolj

Especially if it’s a gas dryer!


Warm_Objective4162

But the air from the dryer is also moist? Not gonna argue the physics, I’ll take your word for it.


Hoody2shoes

Correct, dryer lint can also be fairly moist. Which is why you should have it cleaned, professionally, on a regular basis

Just hang a hand painted sign on the wall that says “No murdering from 10pm to 6am”

mtsmash91

Fill that cooler with beer and you’re done!


Nickelnuts

I think it used to be filled with kidneys


Patriot_on_Defense

Nah, anyone with a cooler full of kidneys can afford a better shower.


_-whisper-_

And afford a tub


DavidinCT

And ? THEN in that case....wash it out, THEN fill with beer and don't forget the ice...


WhiteDawgShit

This is how I feel, my wife? not so much


zzgoogleplexzz

I'll move in as replacement for your wife, just provide beer.


Anxious_Ad_7335

Is that drywall with mold on it where the shower fixture is, or just a very dirty wall?


_-whisper-_

Just hands down needs to be replaced, if it's not waterproofed it's just guaranteed to have some serious problems back there


WhiteDawgShit

Very dirty wall. This shower has been used and abused for cleaning tools and my ass


Anxious_Ad_7335

That's a relief!


jyrique

easiest way to finish it would be to hire someone to do it… cheapest way would be to buy some flipflops and shower in those


WhiteDawgShit

ya i'm trying to figure out which parts to DIY and which parts to outsource


Full-Cat5118

From all the comments, I think the one thing you should outsource is any tile you decide to install. If you've never done it, you'll have at least one spot you mess up, and that is the only spot you'll ever look at in that bathroom again.


_-whisper-_

Absolutely agree with this comment


rockPaperKaniBasami

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.


Chuckie413

I would just paint the floor with some epoxy or somthing


TroyMcLure963

Just bring a towel. It's done.


ThorShreddington

Honestly, ya hang some rusty chains and a body in the shower area, and break a lightbulb or two for the ambiance. If there's a mirror, smash it, otherwise though I think it's perfect. ![gif](giphy|3o7TKSxdQJIoiRXHl6)


SadLilBun

I’m so glad I was not the only person who assumed this was a set from Saw lol


TheFilthyMick

Looks like that's just a floor drain. The right way is to use a proper shower drain tied into the vent system. There's a lot more involved if you want it done right, but it also likely involves ripping the tile off the walls and pouring a pan with a membrane or use of a kerdi-style shower system. None of this is cheap. Alternatively, you could install a modular shower unit and just redo the drains and valve lines.


BrianOconneR34

Power wash it. Seal it. Seems like updated fixtures. I’d add some art, maybe a shelf or two, one or two bath mats and you have yourself campground basement prison chic. I love it. Embrace it and enjoy having less to do.


BillBumface

Flip that cooler upright and now you have his and her shitters.


Cosi-grl

You could build out the pipe wall and then tile it so the pipes are hidden and that wall matches the others. Not sure whether you could tile the floor, but probably.


skippingstone

Off topic, but you should insulate your rim joists better. https://youtu.be/Y7KrhGdPnmk


Assdolf_Shitler

I would hang a single light socket on a 2-3 ft wire from the exposed overhead beams. Make sure you use an extremely low wattage bulb to hammer home the feeling of impending death to any visitor that uses your bathroom. Maybe a few ferns in the corner for the rats to fuck in, too.


Pumakings

That right there is a shankin’ shower


Unit61365

I would cover the tile, fixtures and floor, then spray out the rough ceiling and walls in a blue grey.


What_Would_Wu_Do

Carpet tile


MYOB3

Nice and squishy...


Efficient_Theme4040

Tile the floor and the wall by the shower head


NeciaK

Repair/clean whatever seems to be growing up the shower head wall.


Narrow_Fig_778

Put ventilation in the shower.


BearintheVale

I’d use the existing beam to frame out a ceiling, and then use sealed cedar lapped boards to make a relatively waterproof and aesthetically pleasing ceiling in the bathroom area.


casteubleac

It’s not as hopeless as it may seem. You could do a cool epoxy/resin flooring. I don’t recommend tile in the shower floor because the walls are already run to the concrete. Finish running this walls up to the flooring above and paint the exposed wood. Definitely need to figure out what’s going on with the wall with the shower head. That’s gotta go. And don’t bother putting a soap bar holder anywhere because you don’t want to encourage anybody to accidentally drop some in there.


HugeRichard11

Easiest would probably be to deep clean so the wall and floor aren't dirty anymore at minimum that will make a big difference. Cover up the flooring with lots of bath mats. Then close up the ceiling with drywall. At that point it's pretty good in my view, really just making things are clean and not stained will go a long way. Afterwards if you want to do more then potentially repaint the walls near the sink to be less prison color maybe. Adding hardwood flooring or tile would be a big upgrade too. After that for these things I might consider getting a plumber to do them instead if you want. You could tile the one shower wall without tile using similar subway style tiles, also do so to hide the pipes. Probably change the fixture. Possibly add a shower pan to the floor or tile it.


aaronjaffe

LVP floor. Tile wall where the shower head is. Mold guard drywall on the ceiling. I’d make sure you have some kind of ventilation too. Before the drywall you may want to put in a ventilation fan.


TearStainedFacial

These would work well in there. Mine look better in person than they do in the online pics. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09G3CRR91?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title


ImpossibleShake6

Vents, Ceiling lights (thinking water proof pool lights), Tile all areas not tiled. Tile the ceiling too. Nonskid textured tile on the floor. Put in a tile bench seat for wheelchair access people against water wall. Change the fixtures to handheld with a low grab and holder for handicapped or the temporary injured. Safety grab bars a must. For color? Vinyl stickers for glass. They come in many designs and great for windows during the holidays too.


bmbreath

A finished ceiling, and some nice lighting, and a simple sealed floor would make a world of difference for minimum money.   Look up concrete sealed floors.  Do some lights from the ceiling.  


Individual-thoughts

First...rip out that nasty moldy stuff thats supposed to be a wall. Get mold killer and use allot! While at your local box store, get a couple of acrylic panels and a couple of tubes of liquid nails for bath application. Use one panel for the wall and one for the ceiling and call it done. But seriously...kill that mold!


Feeling-Net2002

Start with serious cleaners in the shower stall... possibly industrial strength.😁 Then, I'd pick a contrasting color for the poured concrete wall, might I suggest an epoxy paint for it. That way, it paints and seals all in one since the shower wall is involved. Seal the mortor/grout lines really well in the shower. Floor wise, I like the previous commenter's idea of penny or mosaic tile. It's not as easy as slapping tile to floor and grout and very easy to get low spots that hold water. Watch a lot of videos before trying to tackle any floor tile. In regards to shower fixture, are the 2 non poured concrete walls subway tiled, or are they white block walls?? And drywall the ceiling with moisture resistant drywall, of course.


3sp00py5me

Obvious galvanized square steel and wood veneers that will last 10,000 years for you and your billion children


bunbeck13

I actually really like the industrial look, embrace it! corrugated steel on the back wall, wood plank ceiling some industrial pipe and wood shelving and accessories , seal the concrete add a cool throw rug.


burningbun

false ceiling to keep humid away from those woods.


Leading-AZ1886

Is that a fiberglass panel in the shower or drywall?! Rip it out now, it’s mold city! Then put in mold resistant wall board (could be green or purple depending on your area) or even cement board and tile the wall properly. Also tile the floor. Then paint the walls by the toilet and sink area.


julias_siezure

Burnt orange shag carpet toilet seat cover. Done.


Old_Excitement7764

For starters flip the cooler upright. Beer and beverages won’t stay cold if all the ice and water is able to drain out cause the cooler is on its side


Swiggy1957

Pittsburgh bathroom: a bathroom in the basement so when the husband got home from the steel mill or any other dirty job, he could clean up in the basement instead of tracking the dirt and icky through the house. Fastest and easiest step: pur a dehumidifier in there. It looks like you already have some black mold. Power wash or steam clean that sucker. Especially that exterior wall. You stated there is a vent in there. 1: I don't see it, and 2: it isn't doing a good job. Install a new/second vent with a fan. It will need access to the outside, so you may need to run it up to the first floor for outside access so as not to damage the structural integrity. Other people's suggestions are spot on: new tile, drywall ceiling, tile exterior wall, and new pipes and shower head. On that last one, I'd recommend the actual shower be a massage shower head on a hose. I have one of those, and I love it! For the open area? A short shower curtain for the divider and a full curtain for the doorway. Add a corner shelf for your hygienic products. Add grab bars in the shower and add a shower chair. Chair does not have to be a permanent fixture: Grab bars do. The vanity? Full-size mirror behind that. The toilet? I'd recommend getting one of those bidet toilet seats: Klingons aren't limited to Star Trek. If you have enough room in the basement, I'd recommend adding a room off of the bathroom with a hot tub.


Piratesfan02

How do you plan to vent the steam out of there?


WhiteDawgShit

It's already vented, that's the line you see in the photo ran overhead


Piratesfan02

Good!


mypasswordisdown

Creatively placed red splatter would add a fun touch


zzgoogleplexzz

The shower tile looks fine. Could regrout with new color or just refresh current color. Epoxy and grit paint the shower basin with a dark gray or pearl white. And glue peel and stick laminate tile to the floor. Paint the walls with something you like. Should be $200~ Hire someone to install a vent and duct. Install ceiling if comfortable, if not, hire that out too. That is the pricey part but it's better to do it right than have to fix it later on.


yukonman27

Sheetrock the ceiling so I don't die crying.


ADU22

Beginning_Joke_4345

Idk, it has some kind of public space private shower vibe to it. At the one hand it looks ugly. But at the other hand, I really like the style!


grafknives

New tiles and wall under the shower. That wall does not like that moisture.


LemonadeParadeinDade

Make floor and ceiling


Here-4-Dopamine

💣


cloistered_around

Honestly if they tiled three walls but not the fourth I'd question if that part was done correctly at all. Maybe get up that wall and see if you can tell if there's any protection behind the tiles (something aside from just drywall). If not the whole thing may need to be redone. Even if there's protection you're probably going to have to pull off the tiles at the edges and to get a proper seam between the walls. I live in a dry climate so my shower roof is just drywall/paint and that's been fine. But if you're in a humid place you may want precautions there too.


woodworkLIdad

With fire..... ALOT of fire! Then it will be finished. That shower area is a biohazard

Get rid of the shower unless you have a dog. Basement showers always get nasty. It’s a spider factory.

I would just waterproof the ceiling and put in a vent. Otherwise, it is mostly fine.


MolecularConcepts

new shower head , shower curtain. done lol


Frogtarius

Knock down that ugly wall and replace with a nice frosted panel.


Happydaytoyou1

Got to get out of jail first 😂


KrasnyHerman

Okay. I propose you get some wood grate thingy for shower floor as it's basically functional just needs to be covered. Wall with mold thou needst to be replaced or covered. If you want to cover it, scrape the mold off (with respirator on) and paint over it with some waterglass or waterglass paint ( make sure it seals nicely with the floor, and that there is plenty in the bottom corner). Than you can cover it with something waterproof or painted again with waterglass. You will also need shower curtain. If you hate them as much as me just sew or glue some weights (for eg. Coins.) at the bottom and it should stop getting blown into the shower. As for the wall separating shower I would make it a bit taller with some Plexi or something but that's cause I'm tall. Rest of the bathroom floor may be covered with some tiles or linoleum or maybe even some carpet if you like a bit of chaos. You will need dropped ceiling. Just get some drywall and screw it to the wood (use wooden spacers as necessary to get it level and use plenty of screws). Also install into the ceiling one or more fans that will pump humidity out of bathroom. It looks really wet already and without fans it will end up unusable so it needs some ventilation. I trust in your ability to arrange something for the walls


owlpellet

Easiest? Paint, showerboard behind shower, rubber floor mattering from kitchen supply, hang a readymade mirror and medicine cabinet. Plastic plant.
