Shower
Good evening. We are going to use the same and cement motar mix for our shower. My question is, is there a liquid rubber I can put down over the mix once it's dry instead of using tile? Thank you all.

Hi Annie I think this youtube video will help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUpk7iFDvw4 Honestly though, if it were me, instead of pouring my own shower pan I would just purchase one if it was at all possible. They make underlayments for pouring your pan that include "pours" like the liquid rubber I think you're thinking of.
Not sure if this is what you are after, take a look:

I'm guessing you're asking based on a specific posting you read. You'll have to search for that using the search bar at the top left and ask there but there is liquid waterproofing you can brush or roll over, yes. You can see what I used here: https://www.flippingtheflip.com/2020/06/the-master-shower-six-in-series.html But no, you need to put tile in over the concrete, there's no shortcutting that one, sorry.
It sounds like you're referring to a specific project, so you may want to go there to ask your question. In the meantime, I would contact a tile company for their recommendation for the best sealer.
Any kind of rubberized coating is just for waterproofing cement board, concrete, underlayment. It still needs to be covered with some kind of flooring. In your case tile.
Hi Annie. I agree with Ann. A tile store would be able to give you their expert advice. Good luck.
Of course, proper sealing is critical for protecting the beauty of any concrete piece, but it is absolutely essential for wet areas like tubs and showers. The most common technique is to apply multiple coats of a penetrating sealer like a water-based polyurethane.
This seems to be used by contractors " XS-327 Hybrid Water Based Polyurethane from Surecrete".

You really should tile the bottom of the shower with small tiles and grout then seal if you want it to last.
Hi Annie,
You should use a Waterproof Tile Adhesive/Grout. Best wishes
You can use a rubberized waterproofing but it will wear away, you have to cover it with tile, there's no way around using some form of tile in a shower.
Not sure what type of finish you are looking for?
I don't think so. Put on tile.
