Bathroom remodel bundles for basement baths and tub-to-shower conversions: how to choose macerator power, door finish, and 60x30/32/36 base

Pick a bundle by project type

These configurations pair a 30-inch floating vanity with left-side open shelving, a 36x24-inch lighted medicine cabinet, and options for a macerating (upflush) toilet, a 56–60"W x 75"H frameless sliding door, and single-threshold bases in 60x30, 60x32, or 60x36. Choose based on your bathroom’s drain situation, alcove size, and finish preferences.

• If you do NOT need an upflush toilet (gravity drain available) and just want the coordinated vanity + lighted cabinet: Ocean Luster core set — 30 in floating vanity (left shelf) + 36x24 lighted cabinet.
• Basement/slab bath with a short discharge route (or single fixture) — 600W macerator options: • No door/base: Ocean Luster with 600W macerating toilet (no door/base). • With 56–60 in door: 600W + Matte Black door, 600W + Brushed Nickel door, or 600W + Brushed Gold door. • With Brushed Gold door + base sizes: 600W + Brushed Gold door + 60x30 base, 600W + Brushed Gold door + 60x32 base, 600W + Brushed Gold door + 60x36 base.
• Basement/slab bath with longer run, more vertical lift, or multiple fixtures (toilet + shower/sink) — 750W macerator options: • No door/base: Ocean Luster with 750W macerating toilet (no door/base). • With 56–60 in door: 750W + Matte Black door, 750W + Brushed Nickel door, or 750W + Brushed Gold door. • With Brushed Gold door + base sizes: 750W + Brushed Gold door + 60x30 base, 750W + Brushed Gold door + 60x32 base, 750W + Brushed Gold door + 60x36 base.

Fit and measurements: door, base, cabinet, vanity

Shower door. The frameless sliding door adjusts from 56 to 60 inches wide and stands about 75 inches tall with 5/16-inch (8 mm) tempered glass. That covers most 60-inch alcoves, including many tub-to-shower conversions. As with any door, measure the finished opening (tile installed) and confirm plumb/level. Safety glazing for shower enclosures is a regulated category; look for tempered glass markings (e.g., ANSI Z97.1) consistent with 16 CFR Part 1201 on the glass etch.

Shower base. 60x30 is the classic alcove tub footprint and usually reuses framing. 60x32 adds elbow room if you have the depth; 60x36 feels spacious and may need framing changes. The single-threshold bases listed are center-drain with a non-slip surface and low curb height.

36x24 lighted medicine cabinet. Recess for a flush look if you can create about a 35.4"W x 23.2"H x 4.1"D opening; otherwise surface-mount using the side mirror panels. Many interior walls are 16" on center; a 36-inch-wide recess often intersects studs, so plan for reframing if you want a true recess.

30-inch floating vanity with left-side open shelf. Verify door swing, nearby walls, and the cabinet door orientation so drawers and the medicine-cabinet door won’t collide.

• Door finish choices are aesthetic: Matte Black, Brushed Nickel, or Brushed Gold share the same size/specs.
• For out-of-square walls, most sliding systems rely on adjustment in the wall channels; follow the install guide, and shim as required.

Upflush toilets: 600W vs 750W, multi-fixture tie-ins, and code

Macerating (upflush) toilets route discharge through small-diameter piping where a gravity drain isn’t available—common in basements or on slabs. The key decision is pump headroom: how much vertical lift and horizontal distance you need, plus added resistance from pipe length and fittings.

Published performance for these options: 600W lists up to about 29 feet vertical and 295 feet horizontal; 750W lists up to about 36 feet vertical and 360 feet horizontal. If your route approaches the 600W limits, or you intend to add a shower and/or sink to the same unit, the 750W provides extra margin.

Many macerators are designed to accept a shower and/or sink connection. The 2024 IRC recognizes macerating systems when they comply with ASME A112.3.4/CSA B45.9 and are installed per the manufacturer’s instructions. Always verify the allowable fixture connections in the product manual and with your local inspector.

Context: well-known upflush units from other brands publish lifts in the 15–25 ft range; these 600W/750W specs extend beyond that in their published data. Use actual head calculations and routing details—not estimates—before deciding.

• If the discharge must climb multiple stories, includes long horizontal runs, or uses many elbows, choose 750W for added capacity.
• Keep a cleanout and isolation valves accessible for service. Upflush is faster to install than breaking concrete; a below-floor ejector pit can be quieter where excavation is feasible.

Wiring and mounting the 36x24 lighted cabinet

The cabinet includes adjustable LED lighting, a defogger, interior 110V outlet (listed as 12A), and USB ports. It supports recessed or surface mount.

Electrical. Bathroom receptacles must be GFCI protected (NEC 210.8). At least one receptacle must be within 3 feet of the outside edge of each basin (NEC 210.52(D)). In practice, feed the cabinet from a GFCI-protected circuit per the product instructions. Provide a listed junction box where required and bond the equipment ground. If you’re unsure about circuit loading or grounding in an older home, consult a licensed electrician.

Mounting. For a recess, confirm the wall cavity depth (about 4.1 inches minimum) and plan framing around utilities. For a surface mount, use the mirrored side panels and follow the bracket spacing templates in the manual.

• Plan the wiring route before closing walls, and verify switch locations if you want independent light/defogger control.

Finishes and accessibility notes

Door finish is a style choice; Matte Black, Brushed Nickel, and Brushed Gold coordinate with many faucets and accessories. Expect slight tone differences across brands (for example, some ‘brushed brass/champagne bronze’ tones are warmer or cooler). Order within the same finish family when possible.

Toilet seat height: the 2010 ADA Standards specify an accessible seat height of 17–19 inches above the finished floor (to the top of the seat). If accessibility matters, confirm the toilet seat height in the unit’s specifications.

• Match towel bars, shower trim, and cabinet pulls in the same family to minimize tone variation.

What buyers liked

From public discussions about upflush toilets, sliding shower doors, and lighted medicine cabinets, shoppers frequently praised:

• Avoiding concrete demo with an upflush toilet in basements or on slabs (example threads: https://www.reddit.com/r/Plumbing/comments/1vzf5ch/macerating_toilet/).
• Adjustable-width 56–60 inch sliding doors that fit common 60-inch alcoves even when openings vary slightly (example: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIYUK/comments/1dnm9ds/what_to_do_about_shower_door_if_walls_arent_square/).
• Brighter task lighting and built-in outlets/USB inside lighted medicine cabinets for shavers and toothbrushes (example: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectricians/comments/1wrnvbx/wiring_illuminated_recessed_medicine_cabinet/).
• Recess-mounting for a clean look when framing allows; surface-mounting as a solid fallback when studs or plumbing are in the way (example: https://www.reddit.com/r/BathroomRemodeling/comments/1wefl8b/recessed_arched_mirrored_medicine_cabinet_placing/).

FAQ for this bundle family

• Will the 56–60 inch door fit a 58–59 inch opening? Yes—the listed door is designed for finished openings in that range and is about 75 inches tall with 5/16-inch tempered glass. Confirm plumb/level and follow the wall-channel adjustment in the install guide.
• Which base fits a standard tub alcove? 60x30 typically reuses the common 60-inch tub footprint; 60x32 offers a bit more depth if your space allows; 60x36 may require framing changes.
• Do I need the 750W macerator? Choose 750W when your route pushes beyond the 600W’s published up-to distances (about 29 ft vertical/295 ft horizontal) or you’ll add a shower/sink to the unit. Use actual head and friction calculations when in doubt.
• Can I tie a shower and sink into the upflush system? Many macerators allow this; verify in the manual for the specific unit and follow 2024 IRC and ASME A112.3.4/CSA B45.9 requirements.
• Does the medicine cabinet need a GFCI? Bathroom receptacles must be GFCI protected per NEC 210.8; feed the cabinet per instructions from a GFCI-protected circuit.
• How do I choose left vs right/double doors for cabinets? For a 36x24 cabinet near a side wall or sconce, choose the hinge/door layout that won’t collide during opening. Recess or surface mount based on stud layout; a 36-inch recess often means reframing 16" o.c. walls.
