Leaking Shower? We Rebuild It Right

A shower that leaks into the ceiling below or out onto the bathroom floor almost always comes from how it was built: a bad liner, no real waterproofing, or a floor that isn’t pitched to the drain. Grout and caulk are only lines of defense, so regrouting or recaulking won’t stop a true leak.

We fix the source. We rebuild the shower base or the whole shower with a properly installed custom liner or a Wedi or Schluter waterproof shower system, and every rebuilt shower comes with our 100% leak guarantee.

Is your shower just dirty, moldy or cracked, but not leaking? A Shower Refresh may be all you need.

Custom Showers, Tile Floors and Full Bathroom Remodels

Our installers have over 30 years of experience. We build custom walk-in showers, curbless showers, tub surrounds, tile floors, backsplashes, accent walls, fireplaces and outdoor porches. We also do full bathroom remodels, including the vanity, fixtures and plumbing, not just the tile.

How We Build It

  • Fully waterproofed showers: a properly installed custom liner or a Wedi or Schluter shower system. These professional systems carry their own warranties and guarantees.
  • Proper pitch: every shower floor is pitched to the drain, so water never sits in the corners.
  • Custom shower bases and curbless entries: bases built to fit your space, including curbless walk-in showers with a flush, step-free entry.
  • Anti-fracture membranes: Strata Mat or Schluter Ditra under bath and kitchen floors to help keep cracks from coming up through the tile. Small mosaics are handled differently.
  • Flat, level tile: laser levels and leveling clips for flat floors and walls, square cuts and evenly spaced grout lines.
  • Solid surface slabs: on every horizontal surface in the shower, including curbs, benches and niche shelves, so water doesn’t sit on grout joints.
  • The right grout in the right place: Laticrete SpectraLOCK PRO epoxy grout on shower floors, and a quality polymer-modified sanded grout on the walls, sealed for extra protection.
  • Every corner caulked: all corners and changes of plane are caulked, never grouted.

Cost and Timing

  • Tub surround walls: starting around $3,500, since there’s no base to rebuild.
  • Shower base rebuilds: starting around $4,000, usually about 3 days.
  • Full walk-in showers: $6,000 to $20,000+ for large custom designs, usually about a week.

Tile & Shower Installation FAQs

Almost always because the original shower wasn’t built right. The liner was installed wrong, the floor wasn’t pitched to the drain, or there was no real waterproofing. It’s never a grout or caulking problem.

No. Grout and caulk are only the first lines of defense. If water is getting through to the ceiling or walls, the liner or waterproofing underneath has failed, and the shower base or shower needs to be rebuilt.

Yes. Every shower we rebuild comes with our 100% guarantee against leaks, because we build it with a properly installed liner, waterproofing and pitch, or a wedi or Schluter waterproof system.

Tub surround walls start around $3,500, since there’s no shower base to rebuild. Shower base rebuilds typically start around $4,000. Full walk-in showers can range between $6,000 – $20,000 or more for large custom designs, and typically take about a week. Call (708) 582-6904 for a free quote.
