Your walls, glass and fixtures stay. The price stays in the low thousands. The shower gets another twenty years.
Shower floor services in Southington
Built for Southington bathrooms
Hall baths carry the load in Southington family homes: original tub walls with soap-scum grout, floors with cracked tiles at the doorway. Primary-bath shower floors from the 90s boom are delaminating on schedule now. Southington's 90s primary showers are failing in waves — loose floor tile and musty grout that no cleaner fixes. Re-tile the floor, save the walls. Across Plantsville, Milldale, the Route 10 corridor, South End, the pattern holds: walls outlive floors two-to-one. We fix the floor — and prove the pan beneath it.

Questions Southington homeowners actually ask
Usually not — Southington shower walls outlive floors two-to-one. If walls are flat, bonded and dry, we rebuild just the floor and preserve everything else.
One to two days: day one removal and base rebuild with flood test, day two tile and grout. Shower again 24 hours after grout.
No — removal stops at a clean wall line, and glass either stays protected or comes down into our care. Protection is in the written quote.
Flood test: plug, fill, mark, wait. Plus slope mapping and weep-hole checks. Sound pans get kept and proven; failed pans get rebuilt — with photos either way.
Small mosaic — 2x2 porcelain, penny rounds, pebble — for slope-fit and grip, with epoxy grout. Large glossy tile belongs on walls, not floors.
