Our Shower Rebuild Process

Demolition & Site Preparation

The demolition and site preparation phase is a critical first step in any shower rebuild. Our team carefully removes all existing materials, including tiles, backer board, fixtures, and the old shower pan, ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding areas. We take special care to protect adjacent surfaces and maintain a clean worksite throughout the process.

Framing & Substrate Inspection

Once the old shower is fully dismantled, we inspect the underlying framing, plumbing, and subfloor for any signs of water damage, mold, or structural issues. Any compromised components are addressed immediately to create a solid, code-compliant foundation for the new installation. Proper site prep sets the stage for a successful, long-lasting rebuild.

Shower Base Construction

Shower base construction is a key part of ensuring your new shower is both durable and leak-proof. We start by creating a properly sloped foundation to direct water efficiently toward the drain, either with a custom mortar bed or a pre-formed shower base system, depending on your project needs. For tiled showers, we install a high-quality waterproofing membrane or liner beneath the surface to prevent water intrusion and mold growth. Our team takes care to build a strong, stable curb and reinforce all corners and seams for added protection. With precision craftsmanship and proven materials, we ensure your shower base is solid, watertight, and built to stand the test of time.

Waterproofing & Tiling

Waterproofing and tiling are crucial stages in any shower rebuild, ensuring both performance and aesthetics. We begin by applying a premium waterproofing system—either a liquid-applied membrane or a sheet membrane—over all wall surfaces, seams, niches, and corners to create a continuous moisture barrier. This step is essential to prevent leaks, mold growth, and long-term structural damage.

Tiling a shower is where function meets design, and our team ensures every detail is done right. We start with a precise layout to ensure a balanced, symmetrical finish—taking into account focal points, drain alignment, and niche placement. Using high-quality porcelain or ceramic tiles and a durable thin-set mortar, we install each tile with care, maintaining consistent spacing and clean lines throughout.

Grouting & Sealing

Grouting and sealing are the final touches that complete your tiled shower and ensure long-term durability. Grout is applied evenly and thoroughly, then wiped and shaped for a clean, uniform appearance. After the grout has dried, we apply a high-quality grout sealer to protect against moisture, stains, and mildew. For all change-of-plane joints, such as where walls meet floors or in corners, we use a flexible, mold-resistant 100% silicone caulk to allow for natural movement and prevent cracking. This final sealing process is critical for both waterproofing and keeping your shower looking fresh and clean for years to come.

Final Inspection

The final inspection is a crucial step that ensures your new shower meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and performance. During this phase, we conduct a thorough review of all work completed. We also walk through the project with the homeowner to address any questions and provide care instructions for ongoing maintenance. This final quality check guarantees that your shower isn’t just beautiful—it’s built to last.
