Showers are the hardest-working part of most bathrooms, and they're often the first part to fail. A shower replacement fixes the problem at its source.
Signs it's time
- Leaks, stains or soft spots near the shower
- Cracked tile or base
- Grout or caulk that won't stay clean
- A stiff or leaky valve
Our approach
We remove the old shower to the studs, repair any damage and install a new base, waterproofing, walls, glass and fixtures. We don't just cover up problems.
Worthwhile upgrades
A thermostatic or anti-scald valve, a handheld shower, a niche or a bench are all easy to add while the walls are open.
What we find behind old showers
When we open up an older shower in Gallatin, we often find tile set over regular drywall, no waterproof membrane or a shower pan that has quietly leaked for years. Simply re-tiling over these problems doesn't fix them. That's why we take showers down to the studs and rebuild them properly. We'll show you what we find and explain any repairs before the new shower goes in.
Choosing a new valve
A new shower is the best time to upgrade the valve. Pressure-balancing valves prevent sudden temperature swings, and thermostatic valves let you set an exact temperature. Both are big improvements over older valves.
Shower Replacement: common questions
Can you fix a leak without replacing the shower?
Sometimes. If water has gotten behind the walls, replacement is usually the lasting fix. We'll give you an honest assessment.
Do you offer tile and panel options?
Yes. We'll show you both and help you decide.
How do I know if my shower has been leaking?
Look for loose tiles, cracked grout, stains on nearby walls or ceilings, and soft spots on the floor. We'll check during your estimate.
