Shower Remodel Design Services in Orlando, Florida
Shower remodel design is more than selecting tiles and fixtures-it requires understanding your bathroom's layout, plumbing constraints, and long-term functionality. At Renovating central Florida LLC, we evaluate every aspect: water pressure zones, ventilation requirements, slip-resistant flooring options, and accessibility features for aging-in-place designs. Our design process includes 3D renderings and material samples so you see the final result before construction begins, whether your project spans a compact 5x8 bathroom in Downtown Orlando or a luxury master bath in Lake Nona.
Our shower remodel process starts with an in-home consultation where we measure your space, discuss your aesthetic preferences, and identify structural or plumbing upgrades needed. We source materials from trusted suppliers like American Olean, Kohler, Moen, and Delta, ensuring 25-year warranties on fixtures and 10-year warranties on tile installations. Once designs are approved, our licensed installers handle all demolition, waterproofing with RedGard or Kerdi membranes, tile installation following ANSI A108.02 standards, and final grouting and sealing within the quoted timeframe.

Our Shower Remodel Design Process
Initial Design Consultation and Measurement
We visit your Orlando-area home, measure your bathroom space down to the quarter-inch, assess plumbing and electrical locations, and discuss your design vision. This appointment takes 30-45 minutes and includes style questionnaires. We photograph your current space and provide a detailed quote within 24-48 hours.
Design Creation and Material Selection
Our design team creates 3D renderings showing tile layouts, fixture placement, and color schemes. You select from premium materials including porcelain tile, natural stone slate, glass mosaics, and stainless steel fixtures. We coordinate all orders within 3-5 business days to ensure product availability and matching finish dates.
Demolition and Structural Prep
Licensed contractors remove existing shower enclosure, tile, and fixtures on day one of installation. We inspect substrate for mold, rot, or structural damage and make necessary repairs. Plumbing is tested for proper drainage and supply line pressure before waterproofing begins.
Waterproofing and Base Installation
We apply professional-grade waterproofing membranes like RedGard or Schluter Kerdi over all walls and floors per ANSI A108.02 standards. Tile backer board or cement board is installed for proper adhesion. Drain assembly and slope preparation ensure water directs to drainage without pooling, completed within day one.
Tile Installation and Grouting
Our experienced tillers set your chosen materials using modified thin-set mortar, spacing tiles precisely per ANSI standards. Grouting occurs after mortar sets for 24 hours. All grout is sealed with impregnating sealer to prevent mold and water damage. This phase takes 2-3 business days depending on tile complexity.
Fixture Installation and Final Details
Shower valves, trim rings, showerheads, and any body jets or steam generators are installed and pressure-tested. Frameless glass enclosure hardware is mounted with proper silicone sealing. Final caulking at all corners and trim transitions is completed with 100% silicone sealant. Project completion occurs within 4-5 business days total.
Inspection and Handoff
We conduct a final walkthrough testing all water pressure zones, checking for leaks at valve connections, and ensuring proper drainage. You receive a detailed warranty document covering 25-year fixture warranty, 10-year tile installation warranty, and 5-year waterproofing warranty. Cleanup of all demolition debris is included.
