The original fiberglass stall was cramped, stained, and leaking at the seams— a daily reminder of 1990s builder-grade shortcuts. After a full demo, we discovered corroded supply lines and an undersized drain, both of which we replaced with modern PEX and a 2-inch ABS trap for faster water evacuation.
In their place we installed a low-threshold acrylic base, pressure-balanced valve, and frameless glass door that opens the room visually while meeting ADA-friendly access guidelines. Large-format porcelain tile, sealed niches, and a handheld rain combo finish the look—all completed, grouted, and ready to use in a single day.
Years of hard-water buildup had dulled the chrome fixtures and made precise temperature control almost impossible. We shut off water at the manifold, flushed debris, and pre-checked valve depth to avoid tile chipping or re-grouting.
The refresh swapped every visible piece of hardware—shower arm, valve trim, and rod—for sleek, matte-black, WaterSense-rated fixtures that resist fingerprints and corrosion. Because the rough-in remained intact, the entire style upgrade took just a couple of hours, giving the bathroom a contemporary pop without the mess or cost of a full remodel.
