Shower Installation Options

Every homeowner has different needs, bathroom layouts, and goals for their new shower. We offer a complete range of shower installation services—from spacious walk-in showers and barrier-free curbless designs to tub-to-shower conversions and complete shower retile projects.

Walk-In Shower Installation

Walk-in shower installation is our most popular shower upgrade throughout the East Valley. Walk-in showers feature low-threshold entry, frameless glass enclosures, and modern tile designs that create a spa-like experience in your own bathroom.

Walk-in showers offer a spacious, open feel that transforms how your bathroom looks and functions. They’re easier to clean, more accessible, and eliminate the cramped feeling of traditional shower-tub combinations.

Walk-in shower features we install:

Spacious, open shower designs with low-profile curbs (typically 2-4 inches)
Custom tile surrounds in any style or pattern
Built-in benches for comfort and safety
Recessed niches for shampoo and soap storage
Frameless or semi-frameless glass enclosures
Multiple showerhead options including rain heads, handheld, and body sprays
Full waterproofing with our S.W.A.N. Plan system

Walk-in showers work beautifully in master bathrooms, guest baths, and hall bathrooms. They’re an excellent choice for homeowners who want modern aesthetics combined with improved accessibility.

Standard walk-in shower installation typically ranges from $15,000–$25,000, with premium installations ranging from $25,000–$35,000+.

Curbless Shower Installation

Curbless shower installation creates a seamless, modern bathroom with no step or barrier to enter the shower. Also called zero-entry or barrier-free showers, curbless designs offer the ultimate in accessibility and contemporary aesthetics.

Curbless showers require precise floor modifications, expert waterproofing, and careful installation to perform correctly. The shower floor transitions seamlessly with the bathroom floor, creating an open, flowing space that feels larger and more luxurious.

Curbless shower benefits:

No step or curb to trip over
Wheelchair and walker accessible
Seamless, modern aesthetic
Easier to clean than any other shower type
Makes bathroom feel larger
Aging-in-place friendly

Curbless showers require the highest level of waterproofing expertise—our S.W.A.N. Plan waterproofing system ensures your curbless shower is built to perform for decades. Shower Waterproofing – Professional waterproofing services for showers and tub surrounds

Not all homes can accommodate curbless construction—particularly those with post-tension slab foundations common in East Valley homes built after the mid-1990s. We evaluate feasibility during consultation and recommend alternatives when necessary.

Curbless shower installation typically ranges from $25,000–$35,000+ as part of a complete bathroom remodel.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Tub-to-shower conversion replaces an underused bathtub with a beautiful, functional walk-in shower. If you have a tub that never gets used, conversion gives you the shower you actually want in the space you already have.

Bathtub Installation – Freestanding tubs, slipper tubs, jetted tubs, Roman tub decks & complete tub filler installation. This is a good resource if you’d like to keep a tub.

Tub-to-shower conversion includes:

Removal of existing bathtub
Plumbing modifications for shower configuration
New shower pan or curbless floor system
Custom tile walls and floor
Bench, niche, and accessory installation
Glass enclosure or shower door
Complete S.W.A.N. Plan waterproofing

Most tub-to-shower conversions take 4-6 weeks and dramatically improve bathroom functionality. Costs typically range from $25,000–$35,000+ depending on shower size, tile selection, glass style, and design complexity.

Shower Retile and Refresh

When your existing shower tile is outdated, cracked, or showing signs of wear, a shower retile transforms the look without a complete rebuild—provided the underlying structure is sound.

Our shower retile process:

Remove all old tile to expose substrate
Inspect existing waterproofing condition
Remove any compromised or inadequate waterproofing
Install new Hydro Ban Board substrate if needed
Apply complete S.W.A.N. Plan waterproofing system
Proceed with new shower tile installation

We never tile over existing tile because we can’t verify waterproofing condition underneath. Complete removal allows inspection and installation of proper waterproofing before new tile.

Why Professional Shower Installation Matters

Showers endure more water exposure than any other surface in your home. Every day, gallons of water hit your shower walls and floor, creating constant moisture pressure against tile, grout, and the structure behind them.

When shower installation is done incorrectly—or when corners are cut on waterproofing—the consequences are serious:

Water Damage and Structural Rot

Water penetrating behind tile reaches wall framing and subfloor, causing wood to rot and deteriorate. Over time, structural members lose integrity, floor systems weaken, and serious repairs become necessary.

We’ve seen shower floors sag, walls become spongy, and floor joists completely rotted—all from water intrusion that started with inadequate waterproofing during the original installation.

Mold and Mildew Growth

Moisture trapped behind tile creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew in hidden spaces inside walls. This growth compromises indoor air quality, creates health concerns, and requires expensive remediation once discovered.

Mold problems don’t show up immediately—they develop over months and years as moisture accumulates in areas you can’t see until damage becomes severe.

Tile Failure and Loosening

Water behind tile breaks down adhesive bonds, causing tiles to loosen, crack, or fall off walls. What appears as minor tile issues on the surface indicates major moisture problems underneath.

Once tile starts failing, the entire shower typically requires demolition and rebuild—not just re-grouting or replacing a few tiles.

Costly Repairs and Rebuilds

Failed shower installations don’t just damage showers—they require complete tear-out, structural repairs, and rebuilds. A shower installation that cost $15,000–$25,000 initially can cost $20,000–$30,000+ to properly repair within just 3–7 years.

Proper shower waterproofing costs $800–$1,500 in materials and labor. Skipping it or using cheap alternatives can cost tens of thousands in repairs.

Home Value Impact

Water damage shows up in home inspections, complicates sales, and reduces property value. Buyers see water-damaged bathrooms as red flags requiring immediate attention and major investment. A properly installed and waterproofed shower maintains home value and provides selling points during home sales.

The S.W.A.N. Plan: Our Waterproofing System

Every shower we install receives our S.W.A.N. Plan (Sleep Well At Night) waterproofing system. This isn’t just caulk at the seams—it’s complete, comprehensive waterproofing of every surface using the Laticrete Hydro Ban system with a 25-year warranty.

What the S.W.A.N. Plan Includes:

Hydro Ban Board substrate on all shower walls—waterproof through the entire thickness
Hydro Ban Adhesive Sealant at all board seams, corners, screw heads, and connection points
Liquid-applied Hydro Ban membrane on shower pan with 2-3 thick coats
Liquid membrane extending 10 inches up walls from shower pan
Anti-fracture membrane in shower pan inside corners
Mandatory flood testing to verify waterproof integrity before tile installation
25-year Laticrete manufacturer warranty

Many contractors only waterproof seams and corners to save time and money. We waterproof everything—walls, floors, benches, niches, and every transition—because water finds its way through incomplete protection.

For a detailed breakdown of our waterproofing process, read our complete S.W.A.N. Plan waterproofing guide.

Shower Tile Installation

Shower tile installation is the visible foundation of every beautiful, durable shower. Whether you’re building a new shower or retiling an existing one, professional tile installation ensures your shower looks stunning and performs flawlessly for decades.

Watch: Our Tile Leveling System in Action

We use the Raimondi tile leveling system on every shower tile installation to ensure perfectly aligned tiles with zero lippage.

Shower Floor Tile

Shower floors demand different considerations than walls. The floor must manage water flow, provide safe footing, and withstand constant moisture exposure.

We recommend smaller format tiles (2×2 inch or mosaic) for shower floors—they conform better to sloped surfaces and provide more grout lines for improved traction. Textured or matte finishes are essential for safe wet-surface performance. Porcelain tiles with a Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) rating of 0.42 or higher ensure slip resistance.

Proper slope is critical—minimum 1/4 inch per foot toward the drain ensures water flows to the drain rather than pooling on surfaces.

Shower Wall Tile

Shower walls offer more design flexibility since slip resistance is less critical. Popular options include:

Large-format tiles (12×24 inch or larger) for modern, clean aesthetics with minimal grout lines
Subway tiles in classic offset, straight stack, or herringbone patterns
Natural stone including marble and travertine for luxury spa-like atmosphere
Accent tiles, decorative borders, and feature walls for visual interest

We use professional tile leveling systems throughout installation ensuring perfectly consistent grout lines, proper alignment, and flawless finished appearance. Premium thinset mortar applied at correct thickness with proper trowel techniques ensures maximum adhesion and long-term bond strength.

For comprehensive tile information, visit our shower tile installation page.

Grout Selection

Grout selection significantly impacts both appearance and performance:

Epoxy Grout: The premium choice for showers—completely waterproof, stain resistant, never requires sealing. Higher material cost but superior long-term performance.

Cement-Based Grout: Traditional option—easier to work with, lower material cost, but requires sealing after installation and periodic resealing annually in showers.

We use color-matched caulk at all transitions, inside corners, and where tile meets different surfaces—these areas require caulk rather than grout to allow for movement and prevent cracking.

The Shower Installation Process

Every shower installation follows our proven process developed over hundreds of successful projects:

Step 1: Consultation and Design Planning

We evaluate your existing bathroom layout and structure, discuss your design preferences and goals, review tile options and fixture selections, and provide transparent pricing. Our Virtual Showroom lets you see 10 professionally designed options in photo-realistic 3D renderings and choose your favorite in one meeting.

Step 2: Demolition and Preparation

We remove existing shower or tub materials, inspect underlying structure for any water damage or issues, repair or replace damaged framing and subfloor, and prepare the space for new construction. All adjacent areas are protected with dust barriers and floor covering.

Step 3: Plumbing and Structural Work

Plumbing modifications include drain relocation or adjustment, shower valve installation at appropriate height, supply line modifications for your configuration, and pressure balancing valve installation for safety and code compliance. We install blocking for grab bars, shower heads, benches, and all mounted fixtures.

Step 4: Shower Pan and Slope Work

The shower pan provides the foundation for your entire shower. We install professional-grade shower pan systems with proper slope (minimum 1/4 inch per foot toward drain). For curbless showers, this may require floor modifications to recess the pan below the bathroom floor level.

Step 5: S.W.A.N. Plan Waterproofing

Our complete waterproofing system is applied including Hydro Ban Board on all walls, adhesive sealant at all seams and connections, liquid membrane on the shower pan with 2-3 thick coats extending 10 inches up walls, anti-fracture membrane in pan corners, and proper cure time between every coat. We never rush this critical phase.

Step 6: Flood Testing

Before any tile installation, we flood test every shower pan for 24-48 hours. This verification catches any waterproofing defects before they’re hidden behind tile—when repairs are simple rather than expensive. Many contractors skip this step. We consider it non-negotiable.

Step 7: Tile Installation

After successful flood test, professional shower tile installation begins—floor tile with verified slope, wall tile with leveling systems, niche and bench tiling, precise fixture cuts, and quality grout application.

Step 8: Glass Enclosure

After tile is complete and grout has cured, we measure for your glass enclosure. Custom glass panels are fabricated to exact specifications (typically 10-14 business days). We offer frameless, semi-frameless, and framed options with hardware finishes including chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, champagne bronze, and oil-rubbed bronze.

Step 9: Final Fixtures and Completion

We install shower heads, hand showers, trim, grab bars, and accessories. Final caulking at all transitions, thorough cleaning, and a complete walkthrough ensure every detail meets our standards and your expectations.

Arizona-Specific Shower Installation Considerations

Arizona’s climate creates unique challenges for shower installation that require specialized approaches:

Foundation Movement and Settling

East Valley homes often experience foundation settling and movement due to expansive clay soils. This movement can create cracks in rigid waterproofing systems that don’t flex with foundation shifts.

Our S.W.A.N. Plan includes anti-fracture membranes (crack-isolation felt) specifically designed to accommodate foundation movement while maintaining waterproof integrity. This additional protection is particularly important in Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, and throughout the East Valley where soil conditions create ongoing foundation challenges.

Extreme Temperature Fluctuations

Arizona’s temperature swings—from 120°F summer days to freezing winter nights—cause materials to expand and contract repeatedly. This thermal cycling stresses shower components and can cause failures in inferior waterproofing systems.

The Laticrete Hydro Ban system remains flexible across extreme temperature ranges, maintaining watertight seals regardless of seasonal temperature changes.

Low Humidity and Rapid Drying

Arizona’s dry climate can cause materials to cure too quickly during installation, potentially compromising waterproofing effectiveness. Our installers are trained specifically for Arizona conditions, ensuring proper application and curing regardless of temperature and humidity levels.

Post-Tension Slab Foundations

Many East Valley homes built after the mid-1990s use post-tension slab construction. These foundations contain high-strength steel cables under tension throughout the concrete. Cutting into a post-tension slab for curbless shower installation can damage these cables and compromise structural integrity.

We evaluate your foundation type during consultation and recommend the safest, most effective approach for your specific home. When curbless construction isn’t advisable, we design beautiful walk-in showers with low-profile curbs that provide excellent accessibility without structural risk.

Shower Features and Custom Details

Built-In Shower Niches

Recessed niches provide convenient storage for shampoo, soap, and toiletries while maintaining clean shower lines. Standard sizes are 12×24 inches or 12×36 inches positioned at comfortable reach height.

Every niche receives complete waterproofing on all five interior surfaces (back, sides, top, bottom) plus reinforcement around the opening. We tile niches with grout lines that align with surrounding wall tile for a professional, intentional appearance.

Shower Benches

Built-in benches add comfort and functionality—particularly valuable for aging-in-place applications, luxury spa-style showers, and daily convenience. Benches are properly constructed, sloped for drainage, and fully waterproofed on all surfaces.

Common bench configurations include corner benches utilizing two walls, linear benches along one wall, and floating benches cantilevered from the wall. Bench height typically ranges from 17–19 inches for comfortable seating.

Multiple Shower Heads and Body Sprays

Modern shower installations often include multiple fixture configurations:

Overhead rain heads for luxurious full-body coverage
Handheld shower heads for flexibility and accessibility
Body sprays for spa-like massage experience
Combination systems with diverter valves for multiple spray options

When planning multiple fixtures, proper drainage capacity becomes critical. We size drains appropriately for total water flow from all fixtures operating simultaneously.

Glass Enclosure Options

Glass enclosures define your shower’s final appearance while containing water spray:

Frameless Glass: Thick tempered glass with minimal hardware creates the most modern, high-end appearance. Easier to clean with no metal channels to collect soap scum.

Semi-Frameless Glass: Minimal framing at panel edges provides a balance between contemporary styling and lower cost compared to fully frameless.

Framed Glass: Traditional metal framing around all glass edges works well in traditional or transitional bathroom designs.

Hardware finishes are available in chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze, and champagne bronze to match your bathroom fixtures.

Linear Drains

Modern linear drains positioned near the shower entry provide excellent drainage performance and contemporary styling. Linear drains are particularly popular in curbless shower installations where they allow for simpler slope work across the shower floor.

Timeline for Shower Installation

Shower installation timelines vary based on scope and complexity, but most projects follow this general schedule:

Week 1: Demolition, Floor Modification, and Plumbing

Existing shower or tub removal, floor structure preparation (if needed), plumbing modifications, drain relocation, and rough-in completed.

Week 2: Waterproofing and Start Tile

Complete S.W.A.N. Plan waterproofing system application with proper curing time, flood testing, then tile installation begins on shower floor and walls.

Week 3: Continue Tile Installation

Tile installation continues with precise slope work on floors, professional leveling systems on walls, niche and bench tiling, and quality control throughout.

Week 4: Finish Tile, Measure Glass, and Trim

Final tile installation completed, grout application and sealing, glass enclosure measured for fabrication, and plumbing trim installed.

Week 5: Glass Fabrication

Custom glass panels fabricated (10-14 business days). No on-site work during this period.

Week 6: Glass Installation and Completion

Shower glass installation, final fixture adjustments, caulking, cleanup, inspection, and project walkthrough.

Total timeline: 4-6 weeks for most shower installations. Projects involving significant structural modifications, complex tile patterns, or curbless construction may extend timelines by 1-2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shower Installation

How long does shower installation take?

Most shower installations take 4-6 weeks from start to completion. This includes demolition, plumbing work, waterproofing with proper cure time, tile installation, glass fabrication, and final installation. Timeline varies based on shower type, size, tile complexity, and glass fabrication lead times.

What type of shower is best for my bathroom?

The best shower type depends on your goals, bathroom layout, budget, and home structure. Walk-in showers work for any foundation type and offer the broadest range of options. Curbless showers provide maximum accessibility but require compatible foundations. Tub-to-shower conversions are ideal when replacing an underused bathtub.

Do you waterproof the entire shower?

Yes. Our S.W.A.N. Plan waterproofing system covers all shower walls, the floor, benches, niches, and every corner and transition. Many contractors only waterproof corners and seams to save time. We waterproof everything because water finds its way through incomplete protection. The system carries a 25-year Laticrete warranty.

What happens if waterproofing is done incorrectly?

Failed waterproofing leads to water damage behind tile, mold growth, wood rot, structural damage, and eventually requires complete shower demolition and rebuild. Repair costs typically run $15,000–$30,000+. Proper waterproofing prevents this failure scenario entirely.

Can any bathtub be converted to a walk-in shower?

Most bathtubs can be successfully converted. The primary considerations are plumbing configuration, floor structure, and available space. During consultation, we evaluate your specific bathroom to determine feasibility and the best approach.

Will removing my bathtub hurt resale value?

Not necessarily. For primary bathrooms, most East Valley buyers prefer spacious walk-in showers over tub-shower combinations. However, homes should ideally maintain at least one bathtub somewhere—often in a secondary bathroom—to appeal to buyers with young children.

What tile is best for showers?

Porcelain tile is our top recommendation—it’s durable, low-maintenance, and available in countless styles. For shower floors, we recommend smaller format tiles (2×2 or mosaic) with textured or matte finishes for slip resistance. For walls, large-format porcelain creates modern, clean aesthetics with minimal grout. For detailed tile guidance, visit our shower tile installation page.

Do I need permits for shower installation?

Yes. Shower installations involving plumbing modifications require permits and inspections to ensure compliance with building codes. As a licensed general contractor, we handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections.

Can I use my bathroom during installation?

The bathroom being remodeled will be out of commission during construction. If your home has multiple bathrooms, you’ll use another bathroom during the project. Active work in your bathroom occurs over approximately 3-4 weeks, with the remainder being glass fabrication lead time.

How much does shower installation cost?

Shower installation costs vary by type and scope. Walk-in showers range from $15,000–$35,000+. Curbless showers range from $25,000–$35,000+. Tub-to-shower conversions range from $25,000–$35,000+. We provide detailed estimates during consultation covering all work, materials, and timeline.

Is the S.W.A.N. Plan waterproofing included or optional?

The S.W.A.N. Plan waterproofing system is included in every shower we build—it’s not an optional upgrade. We don’t offer inferior waterproofing options because we won’t build showers that are likely to fail. Every client receives the same comprehensive protection.

What is flood testing?

Flood testing fills the shower pan with water before tile installation, verifying that waterproofing is complete and functional. We flood test every shower pan —no exceptions. This catches any defects while repairs are simple rather than expensive.

Can you install a curbless shower in my home?

It depends on your foundation type. Homes with standard slab foundations can typically accommodate curbless construction. Homes with post-tension slab foundations generally cannot be safely modified for curbless installation. We evaluate feasibility during consultation and recommend alternatives when necessary.
