Why a walk-in shower remodel needs planning

A walk-in shower is the part of a bathroom that has to keep water where it belongs, so most of the work happens before any tile goes on. Haven checks the existing plumbing and subfloor first, because old plumbing or hidden water damage changes the scope. Moving the drain or valves costs more than keeping them where they are. Haven's bathroom remodels typically range from $15,000 to $45,000, and a full bathroom with a custom tile walk-in shower sits toward the upper end of that range.

How Haven builds a walk-in shower

On a bathroom remodel, Haven's standard process is:

• Design and measurement. Talk through the layout and measure the space.
• Pre-construction inspection. Check the plumbing and subfloor so repairs are in the price from the start.
• Itemized quote and permits. Plumbing, tile, glass and fixtures in one price, with any permits handled by Haven.
• Construction. Tear-out, a waterproofing membrane, shower framing and tile, then fixtures, glass and flooring, with dust barriers and daily cleanup.
• Final walkthrough. Review every detail with you before closing out.

Planning a walk-in shower in La Jolla?

Before you call, think about whether you are replacing a shower or converting a tub, whether the drain or valves need to move, and what you want inside the shower: a bench, a niche or shelf, a curb or a curbless entry, and the glass. Tile choice and the size of the room matter too. La Jolla is part of the City of San Diego, so permits for plumbing or electrical work go through the City of San Diego. Haven measures your bathroom and gives you an itemized quote and a schedule. See more on Haven's bathroom remodeling page.
