Shower Replacement Process

Installing a new shower is a complex process best left to the professionals. Here’s the new shower installation process used by Ultimate Plumbing:

Design Consultation

The shower replacement process starts with a design meeting at your home. We’ll discuss your shower goals, needs, and shower installation costs.

After assessing the bathroom space and plumbing, we’ll suggest design ideas and share portfolio images to help you visualize options.

Demolition

Proper demolition is crucial to install the new shower properly. We’ll take care to contain dust by sealing off the work area with plastic sheeting. Then, our plumbers will methodically demolish the existing shower, walk-in shower stall, plumbing fixtures, and surrounding tile using sledgehammers, pry bars, saws, and other tools.

Once demolished, we’ll vacuum up debris, safely dispose of materials, and prep the bare subsurface for new shower installation.

Inspection and Permits

With the existing shower demolition complete, the Ultimate Plumbing team will schedule an inspection with the local building department to approve the work already done. After passing inspection, we’ll apply for the required plumbing, electrical, and building permits for your shower installation.

We include all permit fees in your shower installation cost and handle submitting forms to secure the proper permits before new construction begins.

Plumbing and Waterproofing

The plumbing and waterproofing phase is where our skills shine. We’ll re-route and add new water supply lines as needed. After determining the optimal drain location, we’ll install the correctly sloped linear or center drain system.

Waterproofing products are then applied to waterproof the subsurface, corners, joints, and drain. We’ll also waterproof behind walls and the curb.

Tile Installation

With the shower stall subsurface prepped, we’ll create the shower floor slope. After properly curing, your tile selections are installed with painstaking detail, care, and artistry.

Our tile work is second to none, with straight grout lines, aligned patterns, and a flawless finished surface. We only use waterproof grout.

Install Accessories

Once the tiling is complete, we’ll install your chosen walk-in shower bench, niche, grab bars, shower heads, valves, trims, and other accessories according to the final design.

Our team ensures optimal positioning for ergonomics, function, and visual appeal. Fixtures are secured, caulked, and sealed to prevent water damage.

Finishing Touches and Shower Door Installation

For final touches, we complete all caulking, install a glass shower door or rods for a shower curtain, test for leaks, wipe down surfaces, clean up debris, and reveal your stunning new custom shower stall!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical shower installation take?

Most shower installations take two to four days from demolition to completion. More complex tile or custom showers may take four to seven days. Your plumber can provide a detailed timeline upfront.

Should I install a shower tub combo or a walk-in shower?

The choice depends on your space and needs. Some homeowners prefer keeping a tub, especially if it’s a family home. A walk-in shower offers an upscale, spa-like vibe. Many convert their tub into a tub shower combo for ease of access and a cleaner look.

How do you waterproof a shower properly?

Waterproofing the shower stall is crucial. Plumbers use a layered approach, including an elastomeric membrane, along with waterproof adhesive and grout.

Should I install bathroom fixtures before tiling?

It’s best to install shower doors, showerheads, knobs, and trims after tiling. Trying to tile around fixtures often leads to incomplete-looking tile work.
