"Coastal Bath did an excellent job with our tub to shower conversion. They gave us a very reasonable price and even rushed the installation to shut our schedule.
The installation crew showed up on time, were very professional, and completed the project in seven hours.
The finished product is beautiful. We're extremely happy with our comple experience with Coastal Bath. I would highly recommend them."
"Pete and his team did an outstanding job from the moment they arrived until the final clean-up. What a hard working team! Pete did a great job communicating with me prior to the job and updating me throughout the day during the job. We love our new roof and the quality job! We were impressed with the clean up...not a single piece of trash was left behind!! I would highly recommend Pete and his team for any roofing job and would be pleased to serve as a reference to any potential future clients of Spicer Brothers."
"My installer was meticulous and paid attention to every little detail. He did excellent workmanship and had pride in his accomplishment. I love the results and was glad I had the shower enlarged and the ceramic is beautiful. It is a pleasure to take a shower."
"I am writing to warmly recommend Precision Plumbing. They worked with me at Heron Woods Cottages in cleaning up a renovation job left incomplete by an incompetent local contractor. They reported directly to me in my position as Property Manager. They are a highly valued member of the cleanup of this disaster and have made a strong contribution in this job. I put a premium on great work and Precision Plumbing is a natural fit. The owner displayed an eagerness to help and a constructive attitude towards feedback. They quickly gained my respect and trust and are praised for their reliability and collaborative spirit. Precision Plumbing has a passion for quality and had a positive impact across a number of areas on the job site. I would not hesitate to hire them again. Their background and experience should be a good match for your construction project."
"Aaron, was extremely professional and did a detailed report on his estimation. He did not cut corners nor did he ever recommend it. This man has integrity and dedication to the work place and to an industry that houses a lot of shady individuals. If you need things done the right way. This is the man to call."
"My husband and I had a very professional team replacing an old tub to a beautiful shower. The two young men were very polite and hard workers showing up on time, and never seemed to even take a break. I highly recommend this company from beginning to end including the office staff which were very helpful with scheduling and answering questions."
"This contractor, Ismar, is very professional and takes great pride in his work and the quality of his work is top notch. He was able to provide a start date and completion date, both were very accurate. This project took a couple of weeks start to finish. Once the project was started, he did not leave to work on another project. I was given guidance as to the best paint to use as I chose to purchase them myself. Ismar kept in contact with me throughout the project through texts and pictures. And I did hire him again to install LVP flooring. This was an equally pleasant experience. I hope I can write a separate review on this project. This project was done in Cheriton VA"
Yes, plumbers can replace showers. In fact, you should hire a licensed plumber rather than a shower installer if your project involves adding fixtures or moving pipes. However, you don’t necessarily need a plumber for simpler projects, like installing a direct-to-studs shower kit. In that case, you can hire a shower installer, handyperson, or DIY it.
The P-trap is an essential part of the shower drain and is installed directly below it. It mainly functions as a barrier, preventing sewer gases and their odors from seeping into your bathroom. It also helps catch clogs so they don’t end up deeper in your home’s plumbing, where they’re more difficult to remove.
Roll-in showers, on average, take two to four days to install. If you need to demolish your existing shower, install new plumbing, or do other bathroom renovations, your project could take several months to complete. Consult with a remodel designer to get a better idea of how long your shower installation could take, as every project is different.
Generally, shower walls should not be installed over drywall because of the moisture issues this can cause. If you’re using a direct-to-stud shower kit, you need to remove the drywall before you can do the installation.
However, if you’re using a glue-up shower kit or stall, you can glue the shower walls directly to drywall. Be sure to install a moisture-resistant drywall or waterproof cement board.
The amount of space needed depends on the size of the shower. For the standard 32-by-32-inch walk-in shower, you’ll need about 50 square inches. The International Residential Code requires a minimum of 24 inches of space in front of a walk-in shower’s entrance. That said, the National Kitchen & Bath Association recommends 30 inches of clearance, which is a bit more comfortable for most people.
Ideally, you’ll have enough room to open your doors and cabinets without interfering with your shower. This may not be possible in a smaller bathroom.
