Rebuilding the Shower After Waterproofing

Once the new shower pan has been waterproofed and the appropriate testing is complete, the affected shower area can be prepared for rebuilding.

For shower pan repair and replacement projects, our goal is to restore the necessary portions of the shower while preserving as much of the existing shower as practical when conditions allow.

Preparing the Shower for Tile

Before replacement tile is installed, the repaired area is prepared to receive the finished surface.

The exact preparation depends on the scope and existing conditions of the project. Care is taken around the newly waterproofed shower pan so the system beneath the finished shower remains protected as the rebuild moves forward.

Tile Installation & Grout

When tile work is included in the project, replacement tile is installed throughout the repaired area and the necessary grout work is completed.

For partial shower repairs, replacement materials can be selected to complement the existing shower when possible. For larger shower rebuilds, homeowners may also choose to update the appearance of the shower as part of the project.

Completing the Shower Repair

After the waterproofing and rebuilding stages are complete, we inspect the finished work and make sure the portions included in our scope have been completed properly.

The work area is cleaned and the completed repair can be reviewed with the homeowner before the project is considered finished.

From a Leaking Shower to a Finished Repair

A successful shower pan repair isn't just about replacing damaged tile. The most important work happens underneath the finished surface.

By addressing the failed waterproofing first and then rebuilding the affected shower area, our process is designed to correct the underlying problem before the finished shower goes back together.
