Walk-In Showers Installation Services in Orlando, Florida
Walk-in showers eliminate the safety hazards and space limitations of traditional bathtubs, making them ideal for aging-in-place renovations throughout Orlando's master bath remodels. Our installation process includes custom framing, waterproof membrane application per IAPMO standards, tile selection from brands like Schluter and Daltile, and tempered glass enclosure fabrication. Homeowners in Doctor Phillips, Hunters Creek, and Azalea Park appreciate how walk-in showers increase home value by 20-30% while providing daily comfort. We handle everything from initial measurements to final caulking and grout sealing.
The complete walk-in shower installation process starts with site assessment and tear-out of existing fixtures, followed by structural inspection for water damage or mold in the subfloor. Next, we install cement backer board, apply liquid or sheet waterproofing membrane, and build custom curb details with proper slope toward the drain. Our tile setters then lay your choice of porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone in patterns ranging from simple grid layouts to intricate mosaics. Finally, we install the frameless or semi-frameless glass enclosure, caulk all transitions, seal grout, and test drain performance before final walkthrough.

Our Walk-In Showers Installation Process
Initial Consultation and Measurement
We visit your home in Orlando, Oviedo, or surrounding areas to measure the shower space, assess plumbing location, and discuss design preferences. This takes 30-45 minutes and includes recommendations for tile, glass type, and accessibility features.
Demolition and Structural Prep
Our crew removes the existing bathtub, surround, and fixtures within day one, then inspects the subfloor and walls for mold or damage. We install new studs if needed and allow proper drying before waterproofing begins.
Waterproofing and Tile Installation
Days two and three involve applying IAPMO-certified waterproof membrane, installing cement backer board, and laying your selected tile in mortar. Grout lines are filled and sealed to prevent water intrusion.
Glass Enclosure and Final Touches
Our glaziers install the tempered glass enclosure, then we caulk all edges, install trim pieces, and perform a final drain test. Most projects wrap within 3 business days.
