How big the shower is
Square footage of wall and floor is the first number. A standard alcove and a large walk-in are different jobs.
What has to come out first
Tearing out an old tub, an old tile job or a rotted floor is work before the work. What is found behind it can change the day.
The tile you pick
Large format, mosaic, natural stone and herringbone all take longer to set than a straight run of subway. The tile price is yours; the labor changes with it.
The waterproofing system
A proper membrane system costs more in materials than doing it the cheap way. It is not the place to save money.
Niches, benches and curbs
Each one is framed, blocked, waterproofed and tiled. They are worth having and they add time.
Curbless or a low curb
A curbless shower means cutting into the floor structure to drop the pan. It is the biggest single change to a price.
Rough numbers to plan around
These are what this kind of work runs in Rowan, Cabarrus and nearby counties. Starting ranges for planning, not a quote. We price your job when we look at it.
The tub and surround come out. A tiled walk-in shower goes back in on the same footprint, with a poured base, slope, waterproofing, curb and niche.
A larger shower than the tub left behind, with tile carried to the ceiling instead of stopping at the shower head.
A 5x8 room. The tub covers part of the floor, so about 27 square feet of it gets tiled, in an ordinary size laid straight.
Counter to the underside of the upper cabinets all the way around, about 26 square feet. Small area, high number of cuts.

How the week goes, day by day
The old shower or floor comes out and the space is cleared down to the framing.
The base is poured in cement and shaped by hand to fall to the drain.
Backer board goes on, then the membrane, seams and corners sealed.
Layout first, then the walls, then the floor, cuts landing where they should.
Grout goes in and gets cleaned off before it sets.
Sealed, wiped down, and the bathroom is yours again.
Typical working days for a standard shower. We confirm the count for your job when we look at it.
