Client Goals

The homeowners wanted to eliminate the unused tub and leaking shower and replace everything with a layout built for safety, comfort, and long-term ease of use. The room needed to feel cohesive and polished without looking like a hospital environment.

Key goals included:

• • A single oversized zero-threshold walk-in shower
  • A full bench at the shower end and a second seat at the drying area
  • New cabinetry and a seated vanity area with upper storage
  • Cambria Trafalgar quartz countertops
  • Stylish grab bars mounted into blocking (hidden accessibility)
  • Tile wainscoting around the entire bathroom

Our Process

We began by opening the space and removing the components that no longer served the homeowners’ needs. This allowed us to rebuild the bathroom with a layout that offered better flow, more usable space, and improved accessibility.

Work completed during demolition and reconstruction included:

• • Removing the tub, shower, vanity, window, flooring, trims, and old lighting
  • Patching the exterior wall and siding after window removal
  • Eliminating the divider wall and raising the shower ceiling to match the room
  • Capping old plumbing lines and reworking supply and drain lines for the new layout
  • Recessing the subfloor for the Laticrete 42” linear drain to create a true zero-curb shower
  • Framing two seating areas: a full shower bench and a corner drying bench
  • Installing blocking for grab bars, seating, and accessories
  • Waterproofing the entire shower assembly before tile installation

Once the structure was in place, we moved into the finishing phase, which brought the entire design together. Tile wainscoting and coordinated materials unified the room, while upgraded cabinets, lighting, and ventilation improved both comfort and daily usability.
