Shower Installation
Prefab units, custom tile, walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions for homes in Palmetto, FL.
Chapter 01
When a shower or tub is worth replacing, not patching
A cracked surround, tile that keeps failing at the same seam, or a tub that has not been used in years are usually signs the fixture has reached the end of its useful life rather than needing another repair. Grout and caulk can only hide a failing surround for so long before water finds its way behind it.
A tub-to-shower conversion is its own kind of project: someone decides they want a walk-in shower instead of a tub they are not using, which means the drain, the surround and sometimes the wall behind it all change at once.

Shower styles LT installs
LT Plumbing installs prefab shower units, custom tile showers, walk-in showers, and tub-to-shower conversions, including relocating the drain when the new layout calls for it.
Which style fits depends on the space, the budget and whether the homeowner wants a fully tiled, built-to-order shower or a faster prefab install. Either way, the plumbing underneath, the drain, the supply lines and the valve, has to be right before any tile or panel goes up.
Chapter 03
A warranty on the work, not just the fixture
Every installation carries a one-year warranty on services and workmanship, in addition to whatever warranty the shower manufacturer provides on the unit or fixtures themselves.
The estimate is free and written, so the homeowner knows the scope, prefab or custom tile, before demolition starts.
