Home / Our Shower Floor Process

Two Days, Six Steps

From first knock to flow-tested handoff.

Here's the day-by-day: day one is removal, substrate and waterproofing with flood test; day two is tile, grout and detail with flow test. Simple re-tiles on sound pans compress to a long single day. Glass stays up or comes down carefully depending on your enclosure — either way it's our responsibility, in writing.

  1. Diagnose. Moisture map, pan assessment, fixed written quote — free.
  2. Remove. Floor out to a clean wall line; walls, glass protected.
  3. Rebuild base. Slope verified or re-poured; membrane + clamped drain.
  4. Flood test. Pan proven watertight before a single tile is set.
  5. Tile & grout. Full-coverage set, epoxy grout, sealed transitions.
  6. Flow test & walkthrough. Drain proven, punch-listed, care guide in hand.

Farmington notes

In Farmington most floors run a day and a half door-to-door: Farmington sellers refresh the shower floor and re-grout the walls before listing — it reads as a renovated bath in photos for a fifth of the price. Shower again 24 hours after grout — we'll time it to the hour, not the day.

FAQ

Common questions

Q01
Dust and noise?

Removal morning is the loud half-day; the rest is quiet hand work with barriers and daily cleanup. Condos and occupied homes are routine for us.

Q02
When can I shower?

24 hours after grout — timed to the hour at walkthrough, based on products used and your ventilation.

Q03
Who hauls debris?

We do — old tile, mud bed chunks, packaging. Your curb stays clean.

Q04
Do I need to be home?

For diagnosis and walkthrough yes; workdays are fine with a key — contained area, one crew, locked up after.
