Shower & Tub Updates

Shower and tub updates — surrounds, tile, fixtures and accessibility — as a focused bath project.

Request an estimate for shower & tub updates

Overview

A shower or tub update focuses on the wet area of a bathroom — replacing a worn surround, retiling a shower, updating fixtures or adding a low-threshold entry. Because it's the wettest part of the room, waterproofing is the priority.

We plan the membrane, the tile or surround, the drain and the fixtures together so the update is waterproof and durable, not just cosmetic.

Before you schedule

Things worth thinking about

General considerations for this kind of project — confirm the specifics with your estimator.

Waterproofing behind the tile decides how long it lasts
A curbless or low-threshold entry needs a properly sloped pan
Fixture updates may need valve or plumbing changes
Glass and trim complete the look
