The scope depends on the shower layout, the surfaces already in place, and whether this is a new installation or a repair.
The approach is chosen for your project, including the existing surfaces, layout, and planned tile work.
Plumbing repairs, structural work, and mold remediation are discussed separately if needed.
Preparation and waterproofing of the shower base, with attention to drainage and the connection between the base, walls, and drain.
Waterproofing behind tile where surfaces are exposed to water, with the extent of coverage planned for the space.
Details around corners, seams, curbs, niches, and benches where they are part of the project. These connections matter as much as the larger surfaces.
Assessment of the affected area and the access needed for a reliable repair. The condition underneath may only become clear after tile is removed.
Not every moisture problem calls for a full shower replacement. First, the source needs to be understood: water may be escaping through the shower assembly or coming from a plumbing connection.
A focused repair may be possible when the surrounding installation is sound and the waterproofing can be connected reliably. If a larger area needs to be opened, the reasons and options are explained before additional work is agreed.
New grout or surface sealer does not repair a failed waterproofing layer beneath the tile.
Follow one shower project through the work beneath the tile and the finished installation.
We prepared the shower base, waterproofed the shower area, and installed the tile. The project photos show the work before it was covered and the finished result.

Book a Free EstimateWaterproofing an open shower is different from repairing one that is already tiled. The estimate depends on access, preparation, and how much of the surrounding installation needs to be restored.
Book a Free EstimateTile removal, damaged surfaces, and previous repairs affect the preparation needed. Hidden damage may change the scope once the area is opened.
Shower dimensions, drain connections, corners, niches, and benches affect the amount of work.
The estimate should make clear which preparation, waterproofing, and tile work is included, along with any work that needs a separate specialist.
Drying, curing, checks, and tile installation all affect the schedule. Completion of the waterproofing stage does not mean the shower is ready to use.
Book a free onsite estimate or send a request. Mention whether the shower is new, open for renovation, or already tiled. For an existing problem, describe where and when moisture appears. Photos can be sent by text or email.
Max and the team review the accessible areas and explain the proposed work, any uncertainties, and what may need to be opened before the full condition is known.
Nearby surfaces are protected before the agreed work begins. If preparation reveals a problem that changes the scope, the options are discussed with you before proceeding.
Tile installation and finishing follow the agreed scope. The team explains when the area can be used and what care it needs.
Nearby surfaces are protected, the work area is kept organized, and cleanup is part of the job.
If opening the area reveals a wider problem, you get an explanation of what was found and the available options before additional work is agreed.
Established supplier and contractor contacts can help when the project needs additional materials or another trade. Those needs are discussed as part of the plan.

Tile and grout are the finished surface, not a complete waterproofing system. A tiled shower needs a suitable waterproofing assembly beneath or behind the tile, with the connections between surfaces properly addressed.
A failed layer beneath the tile generally needs to be exposed for repair. How much tile must be removed depends on the location of the problem and whether a reliable connection to the remaining waterproofing is possible. A surface treatment is not a substitute for repairing a failed layer.
Regrouting can address damaged joints when the underlying installation is sound. It will not restore failed waterproofing or repair a plumbing leak. The cause of the moisture needs to be understood before choosing the repair.
Not always. A local repair may be possible, but it depends on the condition of the base, walls, and waterproofing connections. A broader rebuild may be needed when the surrounding installation cannot support a reliable repair.
Photos help show the layout and visible signs of moisture, but they cannot confirm the condition behind the tile. An onsite visit helps define the next step, and some details may remain unknown until the area is opened.
Timing depends on preparation, the size and condition of the area, and the drying and curing periods required for the project. Tile installation adds a separate stage. Ask for the expected schedule and when the shower can be used during the estimate.
Waterproofing is part of planning a tiled shower. The estimate should identify which preparation, waterproofing, and tile installation work is included, especially when more than one contractor is involved.
