You may be wondering how long it should take to replace a shower. Frankly, this is one of the most common questions that we receive from potential clients, which is only natural. After all, replacing a shower is not the kind of home improvement project that one can simply DIY their way through. It is a large undertaking that requires a skilled team of experts who can successfully plan and implement the bathroom renovation you need. As such, wanting to change out your current shower is as far from a do-it-yourself project as a remodeling project can get. At Dreamstyle Remodeling, we offer free consultations so you can see what your options are.
Additionally, shower replacement is a project that is very important to homeowners. After all, your bathroom is one of the most-used rooms in the house. Having to brush your teeth and wash in a small bathroom while the new shower renovation is taking place in the master bathroom can quickly turn into an inconvenience. And if you only have one bathroom in your home, it can be even more of a nightmare.
The good news is that the project timeline for a complete shower replacement is generally short. Normally, these kinds of projects take anywhere from one to five days to complete. However, the amount of time to complete the installation depends on several different factors. Here’s what you need to know when it comes to wondering how long a shower replacement takes. At Dreamstyle Remodeling, we’re experts at custom shower replacements. Read on to see what you need to know about a typical shower replacement timeframe.
What Is the Overall Scale of the Shower Replacement Project?
Answering these questions will help you determine how long your shower replacement will take and give you a more accurate estimation of the project timeline. Then, you will establish the scale of the project you are attempting to undertake.
Are you doing a full-scale bathroom remodel or a smaller shower installation project? That will change the length of time, of course. Here’s how it breaks down.
- Full-scale remodels—including bathroom and floor retiling, for instance—will take longer than simply installing a new shower system. In situations like this, a contractor may need to remove the existing tile and grout and patch holes before even attempting to embark on tile installation. Such a big project could take more than a few days, depending on the size of your bathroom, your budget, and what you have done.
- On the other hand, if you’re thinking of only having your shower system replaced, even with new shower doors, or having a new walk-in shower enclosure installed, your contractor may be able to finish the job within a couple of days. Even adding extra bells and whistles here to the shower stall may not take too much time to implement.
In short, the complexity of your project will always determine its timeline.
What Kind of Shower Material Are You Planning to Use?
Another important factor to consider is the materials you choose for your new shower, as they can also impact installation time.
- For example, heavier materials, like marble or ceramic tiles, require meticulous installation and also require a curing period, which will lengthen the project duration.
- In contrast, lighter materials, such as antimicrobial wall surrounds, can be installed quickly—often in one day.
- The type of shower materials you choose will also have an impact on other factors, such as waterproofing. It is important to select materials that are especially resistant to water damage during this process.
