Call Now (607) 302-4765A shower or bathtub installation is more than setting a fixture in place. It involves the supply lines, drain connection, and often the valve and shower head plumbing behind the wall. We handle the full rough-in and fixture install for a new installation or a bathroom remodel.
What's Involved in a Shower or Tub Installation
For a straightforward fixture swap, replacing an existing tub with a similarly sized one, the plumbing connections are usually already in the right place. A remodel that changes the layout is different. Moving a shower to a new wall, or converting a tub to a walk-in shower, means relocating the supply and drain lines to match the new design. That's a bigger job, one that involves opening the wall or floor behind the fixture.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Converting a bathtub to a walk-in shower is one of our more common remodel requests, often for accessibility or simply to modernize an older bathroom. We handle the drain relocation, waterproofing considerations behind the new pan, and the valve and shower head plumbing, coordinating with your contractor or tile installer where the job involves more than plumbing alone.
Fixture Selection and Valve Types
We work with standard, pressure-balanced, and thermostatic shower valves, which affect both cost and how consistently the water temperature holds steady if someone flushes a toilet elsewhere in the house while you're showering. We'll walk you through the real trade-offs for your household rather than defaulting to whatever's cheapest.
Grab Bars and Accessibility Features
Adding grab bars, a bench seat, or a curbless entry during a shower or tub installation is far easier to plan for during the initial work than to retrofit later. If accessibility, now or down the road, is any part of your thinking, it's worth raising before we start rather than after the walls are closed up.
Waterproofing Behind the Fixture
Whatever's behind the tile or panel, proper waterproofing membrane and correct slope toward the drain, matters more to long-term performance than the fixture itself. A beautiful shower with poor waterproofing behind it fails from the inside over years, which is why we treat that layer as seriously as the visible finish work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, this is one of our more common remodel requests. We handle the drain relocation and shower plumbing, and can coordinate with your contractor or tile installer on the rest of the conversion.
A straightforward like-for-like fixture swap often doesn't require one. A layout change that moves plumbing generally does. We'll tell you which situation applies to your project.
A pressure-balanced valve maintains a consistent water pressure ratio between hot and cold, preventing a sudden temperature spike if water is used elsewhere in the house. A thermostatic valve goes further, maintaining an exact set temperature regardless of pressure changes. Both are real upgrades over a standard valve.
A straightforward fixture swap usually takes a single day. A full remodel involving new rough-in plumbing takes longer, and we'll give you a real timeline once we understand the full scope of the project.
It's possible, but far more involved than planning for it during a new installation, since retrofitting often means opening the wall or floor again. If accessibility matters to you, it's worth raising before any new installation begins.
Yes, as part of a full installation or remodel. We coordinate the plumbing and the enclosure so everything is sequenced correctly rather than working around a door installer's separate timeline.
