Choose the fixtures and room layout
Decide whether to keep the tub, change the shower, add storage or move fixtures. Check how doors, drawers and people move through the room. If easier access is a goal, discuss entry, fixture placement and the space you need with the design team before choosing products.
Include the work behind the tile
A shower or tub renovation needs a defined base, wall preparation, waterproofing, drain and fixture scope appropriate to the selected products. Ask which existing materials will be removed, what will be inspected after removal and how any hidden damage will be priced. Include lighting and ventilation in the same room plan.
What to compare in a written proposal
- Shower or tub, vanity, fixtures, tile and flooring included
- Removal, wet-area preparation and waterproofing scope
- Plumbing, lighting and ventilation changes
- Temporary bathroom access, selection allowances and hidden-condition changes
