Remodeling a bathroom can seem like a major undertaking, but with the right team and system, a shower replacement doesn’t have to turn your life upside down for weeks. At B&M Home Improvement Solutions, we specialize in 2–3 day installations using high-quality solid surface shower systems by Samuel Mueller — delivering speed, durability, and a sleek modern look. Here’s a full breakdown of what you can expect from our streamlined replacement process.
Day 1: Demolition & Prep Work
Initial Arrival & Setup
Our team arrives promptly at the scheduled time and begins by protecting your home. We lay down protective floor coverings and seal off the work area with plastic barriers to control dust and debris. This is part of our commitment to respecting your space and keeping things clean.
Old Shower Removal
We start with a full demo of your existing tub or shower unit. Whether it’s a fiberglass insert or an outdated surround, we remove everything down to the studs. This ensures we can properly inspect the framing, plumbing, and subfloor before rebuilding.
Structural & Plumbing Check
Once the space is cleared, we inspect for water damage or mold. If repairs are needed, we’ll let you know right away and address them on the spot. We also prepare the plumbing to accommodate the new valve, fixtures, and drain configuration.
Subfloor Reinforcement
Before we wrap the day, we make sure the shower pan foundation is solid. This includes leveling the floor and blocking any framing needed for accessories like grab bars or shelving.
Day 2: Shower System Installation & Waterproofing
Shower Pan Installation
We install a high-density, low-maintenance Samuel Mueller shower base that’s designed to last for decades. It’s leveled, secured, and connected to the drain with a watertight seal.
Wall Prep & Solid Surface Panel Installation
Next, we install moisture-resistant backer board as needed and begin fitting the solid surface wall panels. These are custom-cut on-site to match your exact wall dimensions and adhered with industrial-grade bonding agents and fasteners for maximum durability.
Our wall panels offer the look of tile or stone without the long install time or grout maintenance. They’re available in a range of finishes — from modern marble looks to clean, textured neutrals.
Day 3: Finishing Touches & Clean-Up
Seam Sealing
All seams and corners are sealed with high-grade, color-matched silicone for a clean, watertight finish that resists mold and mildew.
Fixture Installation
We install your chosen shower valve, head, and trim kit. Whether you’ve selected Moen, Delta, or another top brand, our licensed plumber ensures everything is aligned and leak-free.
Shower Door & Accessories
Grab bars, corner shelves, soap niches, and shower doors (semi-frameless or framed) are installed with precision. These elements complete your shower’s look and functionality.
Final Inspection & Walkthrough
We perform a full system test, clean the shower thoroughly, and walk through the final result with you to ensure you’re thrilled with your new shower.
