Before the project

Prepare for shower and tub-surround installation.

A little planning helps the work start smoothly, keeps the site safer, and protects the finished result.

Preparation checklist

Five steps before we arrive.

Your final scheduling notes and proposal take priority; this guide helps you know what to expect.

01

Complete the design early

Approve tile, drain, fixtures, niches, benches, glass, curb or curbless entry and accessibility details. Identify steam exposure or special material restrictions before ordering.

02

Assign trade responsibilities

Agree on framing, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tile and glass work, including removal and fixture resetting. Confirm licensed-trade sequencing and approval of any hidden repairs.

03

Clear access and arrange staging

Remove personal items and protect belongings outside the work zone. Confirm storage, cutting and access routes, parking, keys or codes, building rules, work hours and a day-of contact. Keep pets and children outside active areas.

04

Arrange another bathing space

Demolition, preparation, waterproofing, inspection, testing, setting and curing make the room unavailable. Maintain required site conditions and keep test and cure periods undisturbed.

05

Protect the assembly until release

Coordinate follow-on trades and avoid unplanned penetrations. Follow the written first-use instructions; a finished-looking shower is not necessarily ready for water.
