Shower remodeling services
Everything here happens inside one wet area. Pick the job closest to your situation — most homeowners land on a remodel, a conversion or a leak repair that turns into both.
Shower Remodeling
A shower remodel removes the existing shower down to framing, corrects whatever is found behind it, installs a continuous waterproofing system, then rebuilds the pan, walls, valve, drain and glass. In Idaho homes the trigger is usually a failing pan, cracked grout lines that keep coming back, or an alcove that is simply too small for how the household actually showers.

- Signs a shower needs replacing rather than repairing
- Choosing between tile, slab panel and acrylic
- How the work runs, day by day
Tub-to-Shower Conversions
A tub-to-shower conversion removes the bathtub and its surround, reworks the drain and valve for shower use, and rebuilds the alcove as a waterproofed shower. A standard 60-inch alcove tub converts into a generous shower without moving a single wall, which is why it is the most common shower project in Treasure Valley homes.

- What changes when the tub comes out
- Entry, glass and threshold options
Walk-In Showers
A walk-in shower is entered without climbing over a tub wall or a high curb. The two versions are a low-curb shower, which suits almost any bathroom, and a curbless shower, which sits level with the bathroom floor and requires the subfloor to be recessed or the whole floor to be built up. Both live or die on drainage: the slope, the drain type and the size of the wet zone.
- Low curb or truly curbless
- Building for the next twenty years
Shower Waterproofing
Shower waterproofing is the continuous barrier installed behind the tile, across the pan, over the curb and through every corner and penetration. Modern systems use either a bonded sheet membrane, a liquid-applied membrane or foam backer boards with sealed seams. The system matters less than the continuity: a single unsealed corner or an unsealed valve penetration defeats the whole assembly.
- The three systems in common use
- Where showers actually leak
- Testing before tile goes on
Shower Tile Installation
Shower tile work covers substrate preparation, layout planning, setting, grouting and the trim details at every edge and change of plane. The difference between competent and excellent tile is decided before the first tile is set: where the layout starts, how cuts are distributed, and whether the niche and bench lines relate to the field tile.
- Layout is decided before the first tile
- Choosing tile that survives a shower
- Grout, sealant and the maintenance you inherit
Shower pricing depends on the size of the wet area, the condition behind the tile and the materials you choose, so figures come after a walkthrough — never from a page like this one.
