Shower Renovation & Tile Replacement in Las Vegas
Failing showers and cracked tile rebuilt from the substrate up — new pan, proper waterproofing, new tile, new valve and a new glass door.
NV State Licensed · Fully Insured · CMRC Certified — Mold Remediation
A shower that leaks almost never fails at the tile. It fails behind it — at the pan, the seams or the substrate — which is why tiling over a bad waterproofing job only buys you another year or two. We strip the shower back to the studs, rebuild the pan and the substrate, and waterproof it properly before a single tile goes up.
That same visit also fixes what's usually behind the wall: a corroded valve, a soft section of framing, or drywall that has been quietly absorbing water. Because we're a licensed construction company rather than a tile-only crew, the repair and the rebuild happen under one scope and one schedule.
What's included
- Demo and haul-away of the old shower
- New shower pan and cement backer board
- Waterproof membrane at walls and pan
- New tile set to a dry-laid layout
- Shower valve, trim and glass door installation
- Drywall, texture and paint outside the shower
Specifications
- Scope
- Tub-to-shower conversions, full shower tear-out and rebuild, tile replacement, pan replacement, valve replacement and glass door installation.
- Substrate & pan
- Cement backer board over the studs with a sloped, pre-pitched pan and a fully taped and sealed waterproof membrane at every seam and penetration.
- Tile & setting
- Porcelain or ceramic shower tile set with modified thinset, 1/16-inch to 1/8-inch joints, and a leveling system on large-format tile to prevent lippage.
- Valve & fixtures
- Shower valve, trim, shower head and drain replaced while the wall is open, with shut-off valves checked and replaced whenever they don't hold.
- Glass & finishes
- Framed or frameless glass door installed and sealed, 100% silicone at every change of plane, and the surrounding drywall, texture and paint repaired to match.
A full shower rebuild runs 4–6 days including waterproofing, setting and grout cure. Tile replacement over a sound substrate runs 2–3 days.
Before and after: shower rebuild
An old, failing shower stripped back, waterproofed properly and rebuilt with new tile and fixtures.
Same bathroom, same angle — before the tear-out and after the finished shower.
How we renovate a shower
Tear out, rebuild the pan and substrate, waterproof, then set and finish.
- 1
Inspect and scope
We check the pan, the valve and the wall behind the tile, then give you a written scope with line-item pricing so you know what's being replaced before demolition starts.
- 2
Demolition and repair
The old shower comes out and gets hauled away. Soft framing, damaged drywall and a failing valve are repaired while the wall is open.
- 3
Pan, backer and waterproofing
A new sloped pan and cement backer board go in, seams and penetrations are taped, and a waterproof membrane is rolled or sheeted over the walls and pan.
- 4
Tile, glass and finish
Tile is dry-laid first, then set, grouted and siliconed, the glass door and trim go on, and the surrounding walls are textured and painted to match.
