Tub-to-shower conversions are the most requested change and the most commonly botched, usually at the curb and the drain: the pan has to slope to the drain evenly or water sits against the curb and finds the gap.
Salt air plus freeze-thaw is the harshest combination for fasteners and coatings, so material choice matters more than it does inland.
Ventilation sized to the room, ducted outside and not into the attic, is what stops the mold that brings people back two years later.
What the job includes
- Tub-to-shower conversion
- Waterproof pan and membrane systems
- Tile shower and wet-room builds
