The challenge
The old shower had leaked into the floor joists for years, and the clients wanted a step-free shower so they can stay in the house as they get older.
Before
AfterOur approach
- Joists sistered and the subfloor recessed for a curbless shower
- A full waterproofing membrane, flood-tested for 24 hours
- In-floor heating on its own thermostat
- Blocking in every wall for future grab bars
The room stripped back to the studs.The result
A bright, step-free bathroom finished in six weeks, with every wall ready for grab bars if they are ever needed.
Every trade knew what the others were doing. It felt like watching a well-rehearsed crew.
