BeforeAfter A 1980s tub becomes a walk-in shower
Same footprint, same plumbing wall. The tub, the grab bar and the sliding door came out; a low-curb shower with a bench and a real door went in.
A walk-in shower is the most requested job we do in Orlando. Big tile, a bench, a niche for the bottles, a glass panel instead of a curtain, and a floor that slopes to the drain without a lip to trip on.
The finish is what you see; the pan, the slope and the membrane are what keep it dry for the next fifteen years. We build both.
The pan is built and flood tested before any tile goes down. Two coats of membrane cover the walls, the bench and the niche, because a niche is where most showers eventually leak.

Curbless needs enough slab depth to slope the floor; we check at the visit. A low curb works in almost any bathroom and still looks open.
Yes. We can rebuild the shower alone and leave the tub, or replace both.
Frameless clear, black-frame grid, or sliding. It is measured after the tile is in so it fits tight.
Yes. Fixture-level plumbing inside the shower is part of the job.
