Shower Installation Services
A new shower built around your bathroom and how you use it
A shower install is more than swapping the old unit for a new one. We plan the size, layout, drain, plumbing rough-in, fixtures, glass, and tile so the new shower looks clean, drains correctly, and fits your bathroom properly.
Whether you want a tile shower, a glass enclosure, a prefab unit, or a fully built walk-in, our process focuses on waterproofing, durable finishing, and a result that suits your Ottawa home.
Shower layouts
Tile, glass, prefab, walk-in, or curbless. We plan the size, drain, fixtures, and entry around your bathroom.
Waterproofing first
Membranes, slope, sealing, and protected wall and floor systems behind the finished tile or surround.
Glass and fixtures
Doors, fixed panels, controls, valves, and hardware coordinated for a clean look and easy daily use.
Built to last
Drainage, alignment, grout, caulking, and finishing details done with attention to long-term performance.
Built with clean fixture detail and proper waterproofing
What goes into a shower install
Layout, plumbing, waterproofing, tile and glass in one planned build
A new shower needs the layout, drain location, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing system, tile or surround, and glass or enclosure to work together. Each of those steps has to be planned and prepared before the shower is finished.

Shower Installation Questions in Ottawa
Answers to common questions Ottawa homeowners ask before planning a new shower installation in a bathroom or ensuite.
What is included in a shower installation?
A shower install can include layout planning, demolition, framing or wall adjustments, plumbing rough-in coordination, waterproofing, tile or surround installation, niches, benches, fixtures, glass, trim, grout, caulking, and final finishing.
Can you install a tile shower or a prefab unit?
Yes. We install tiled walk-in showers, glass enclosures, and prefab shower kits. The right choice depends on the layout, the budget, and how the shower fits the rest of the bathroom plan.
How long does a shower installation take?
Timing depends on demolition, plumbing changes, waterproofing, tile complexity, glass lead times, and finishing details. A simple swap is faster than a fully custom tile shower with new layout changes.
What makes a shower install last?
Long-term performance depends on correct waterproofing, proper slope, suitable materials, careful tile or surround installation, quality grout and sealant details, and clean transitions around fixtures, glass, niches, and corners.
