Shower remodeling for Puyallup homes.
Shower remodeling in Puyallup: fiberglass stalls and tired tile replaced with waterproofed, custom-tiled showers. Niches, benches, new valves. Free estimates.
A shower remodel in Puyallup usually replaces a one-piece fiberglass stall or an aging tile shower with a custom tiled one, built over a proper waterproofing membrane. The rest of the bathroom can stay as it is, which keeps the project focused and the schedule short.
Asked often
Before you book: shower remodeling Q&A.
How long does a shower remodel take?
Usually much less time than a full bathroom. The written estimate includes the schedule.
Can you make my shower bigger?
Often, especially when a garden tub or linen closet sits next to it. We will show you what is possible.
Do you install shower glass?
We plan the shower for glass and can discuss options when we estimate the job.
The fiberglass stall problem
Many 1990s and 2000s Puyallup homes came with a fiberglass shower stall in the primary bath: narrow, with a framed sliding door and a low ceiling cap. They cannot be enlarged and are hard to keep looking clean. Replacing one with tile lets us widen the opening, raise the head and add storage.
What we rebuild
- Stall or old tile removed, framing checked for damage
- Valve upgraded to a pressure-balanced or thermostatic model
- New backer, membrane and sloped pan
- Tile walls and floor to your design
- Niche framed in before tile, bench if space allows
- Glass planned around the finished tile
Water damage we sometimes find
Even in younger houses, a failed caulk line or cracked stall can let water reach the subfloor. We check the floor around the shower during the walkthrough, and if we find soft spots after demo, we show you before repairing.
Picking tile that ages well
Porcelain is the workhorse for showers: dense, low-maintenance and available in nearly any look. For the floor, smaller tiles give more grip and follow the slope. If you want a statement, put it on one wall or in the niche and keep the rest calm.
