Remodeled Florida bathroom with a waterproofed walk in shower by Guy A Remodeling

Why does waterproofing and the plan matter so much in a Florida bathroom?

Because in Florida, water that gets behind your tile does not dry out. It stays. Our humidity is relentless, so a bathroom that was framed and tiled without real waterproofing will grow mold inside the wall long before you ever see a stain on the surface. That is why every shower we build goes over cement backer board, never paper faced drywall, and why the pan gets a bonded waterproof membrane before a single tile goes down.

The plan matters just as much. Before demo, we map how the room actually gets used in the morning, so the towel bar, the light switch, and the vanity are where your hand already reaches. On a slab foundation, the shower drain is set in concrete, and the floor is sloped toward it so water runs out instead of pooling in a corner.

Get the slope and the membrane right and the tile is the easy part. Skip them and you are re-doing the room in five years. That order of operations is the difference between a bathroom that lasts and one that just looks finished on day one. You can see how we approach it in our portfolio.

What actually goes into a bathroom that you build?

A full remodel is roughly a dozen trades stacked in the right order. It starts with demolition down to the studs and the slab, because that is the only way to know what the last crew hid behind the tile. Old cast iron, a rotted sill plate, a drain that was never vented right. We would rather find it on day two than after your new tile is set.

Then the bones. We rough in any moved plumbing, set the shower pan with its slope to the drain, and cover the walls in cement board. The waterproof membrane goes on next and gets checked before tile. Tile is set on the floor, the walls, and the shower, with the niche built in as we go.

After that the room gets its finish work. Frameless glass is measured after the tile is real, because a shower opening is never perfectly square. The vanity, faucet, toilet, and trim go in. Ventilation is not an afterthought here; a properly sized exhaust fan pulls the damp air out so mirrors clear and grout stays clean. Last comes the punch list, where we live with the small stuff until it is right.

Free Estimate

Shower

A walk in shower with a custom tiled pan, a bench, and frameless glass costs more than dropping in a standard tub, because it is more labor, more waterproofing, and more tile. If you are keeping a tub, that is money that stays in your pocket for other things.

Tile quantity

Floor plus full wet walls plus a tiled ceiling in the shower is a lot more square footage to set, and large format tile takes longer to level than a small subway pattern. The tile you pick and how much of the room it covers move the number more than most people expect.

Plumbing

If the toilet, vanity, and shower stay roughly where they are, we work with the existing drains in the slab. Move them and someone has to open concrete, which adds real cost. Fixture grade matters too, since a builder faucet and a made to order vanity are not the same money.

How long does a bathroom remodel take, and what happens week to week?

A straightforward bathroom usually runs two to three weeks. A recent master bath took our crew 14 days working straight through, and that is a fair benchmark for a full gut with a walk in shower.

Week one is loud. Demo comes out, and any plumbing that has to move gets roughed in while the walls are open. We set the shower pan, slope it to the drain, hang cement board, and put down the waterproof membrane. That membrane has to be right before anything covers it, so this is where we slow down on purpose.

Week two is tile. Floor, walls, and the shower with its niche, then grout once the thinset has cured. Frameless glass gets measured against the finished tile and ordered, since it is made to order and takes a few days to come back. In the meantime the vanity, toilet, faucet, and exhaust fan go in.

The last stretch is the punch list. Glass is installed, silicone lines are tooled, hardware is set, and we walk the room with you. We fix the small things while we are still on site, not after. If your project touches the floors beyond the bathroom, our flooring services can run on the same schedule.

What tile, showers, and fixtures can you choose?

Most of it is your call, and we will tell you honestly how each choice behaves in a humid bathroom. Tile format is the first decision. Large format porcelain means fewer grout lines to scrub, which matters when our hard water leaves deposits, while a classic subway or a small hex reads more traditional. Wood look plank tile gives you the warmth of wood without any of the water worry.

For the shower, the big fork is tub versus walk in shower. A walk in with a low or zero threshold and frameless glass feels open and is easier to clean. Keep a tub and you keep resale appeal for a home with kids. We build a recessed shower niche into the tile so your bottles have a home instead of a wobbling corner caddy.

Fixtures set the tone. A floating vanity makes a small room feel bigger, a made to order cabinet fits an odd wall exactly, and the faucet and trim tie the palette together. If your project is bleeding into the next room, the same eye carries into our kitchen remodeling. We help you pick things that look good on install day and still work five years in.

Common questions about this service

Have a question that is not here? Send it our way and we will give you a straight answer.

Not if you have another working bathroom. Most clients stay home through the whole project, since the work is contained to one room and we seal it off to keep dust down. If it is your only bathroom, plan for the days when the toilet is out during rough in and tile. We will map those days for you up front so there are no surprises.

Yes, and in Central Florida we often do. Once we demo down to the studs, hidden rot or mold behind paper faced drywall becomes visible. We stop, show you what is there, and rebuild that section with cement board and a waterproof membrane so it does not come back. Any change to the original scope gets priced in writing before we proceed, never quietly added later.

Almost always. Because the drain sits in the concrete slab, a walk in shower means setting or relocating that drain and building a sloped pan on top. We can often keep the drain where it is to avoid cutting concrete. A low threshold or zero entry shower is very doable on a slab, and we will confirm what your specific drain location allows during the estimate.
