Illustrative renovation concept.

A walk-in shower in a beige-tiled alcove with a sliding glass enclosure, a white shower base and brushed nickel fittings, with a vanity to the left and a toilet to the right.

Start with the change you have in mind.

What the work involves

What the work involves.

The exact scope depends on the existing room and the shower you choose.

01

Remove the existing tub or shower.

The contractor checks what needs to come out and the condition of the exposed walls and floor.

02

Prepare and waterproof.

Ask how the base, walls, and drain will be prepared and waterproofed.

03

Install the base, walls, and enclosure.

The available space and floor construction affect the design, including the entry height.

04

Fit the shower and finishing details.

Confirm the controls, showerhead, storage, and any seating or support before work begins.

Questions

Two useful questions for your contractor.

Can the new shower use the existing plumbing position? Is a lower entry practical in this room? The answers depend on the home, so a site assessment may be needed.
