Shower install headaches
What usually goes wrong with shower installs—and how we avoid it
You want a watertight shower, not callbacks and chaos. Here is what we plan around on every project.
•
Leaks and movement
Weak waterproofing, loose valves, or flexing bases lead to leaks and cracked grout.
•
Mismatched finishes
Tile lippage, uneven grout lines, or wrong trims make the new shower feel unfinished.
•
Dust and disruption
Unprotected paths and unclear scheduling leave your home dusty and your week off track.
Our fix: Leak-first prep, protected access paths, and daily updates so the install stays tidy and predictable.
You get a clear scope, schedule, and one point of contact so you always know what is next.

What moves pricing
What changes the cost of a shower installation
Scope, access, and finish choices influence the final number.
Existing conditions
Rotten subfloors, out-of-plumb walls, or venting changes add prep time before work begins.
Material and finish level
Premium fixtures, custom glass, or large-format tile cost more and may extend lead times.
Access and scheduling
High-rise rules, tight stairwells, or phased work can require extra labor and staging.
Complexity and coordination
Benches, niches, multiple heads, or moving drains shift duration and cost.
Cleanup and protection needs
Occupied homes and sensitive finishes need more protection and end-of-day resets.
We price with you upfront and flag any changes immediately, so there are no surprises at the end.
Get detailed pricingProtection protocol for your space
Surfaces, air quality, and access are planned before we start.
Surface protection first

Preparation
How to prep for a shower installation
A few quick steps keep the project efficient and your schedule predictable.

Our fix
We confirm decision makers and sign-offs before ordering materials.
