Shower Installation in Fort Lauderdale, FL, Built Watertight
A Class Remodeling plans and builds new showers for homeowners in Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, Victoria Park, Oakland Park and Coral Ridge Isles. Shower installation in Fort Lauderdale FL almost always happens in a house that is still being lived in, so we set the water shutoffs, the dust control and the daily schedule around the people who need to get ready in the morning.
A shower installation with us can cover the pan and drain, the waterproofing behind the tile, wall tile and niches, the valve and shower head, a glass panel or door, and the lighting and exhaust that keep the room from staying damp after every use.
We start with a visit to your home so we can measure the opening, look at where the drain and valve sit today and talk through the shower you actually want. You see the plan and the materials before anyone opens a wall, and the crew keeps the rest of the house protected and the work area swept while the shower goes in.
When the tile, glass and trim are finished, we walk the new shower with you and compare it to the plan we agreed on. If you are thinking about a new shower anywhere in the Fort Lauderdale area, call A Class Remodeling at (754) 457-2737 or request a quote. Updating the kitchen as well?

What Is Covered
What a Shower Installation Includes
No two shower jobs start from the same place. One homeowner wants the old tub pulled out and a wide walk-in shower in its footprint; another wants the same size shower rebuilt properly because the grout keeps failing and the wall feels soft. We price and schedule the work around your goal, then set out every stage before the first tile comes off. A shower installation in Fort Lauderdale FL can include:
- ✓Walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions, including a new pan, curb and surround
- ✓Waterproofing and pan slope, done before tile so water reaches the drain instead of the framing
- ✓Wall tile, niches and benches, laid out so cuts land where they look deliberate
- ✓Valves, shower heads and hardware, plus the glass panel or door that closes the opening
- ✓Lighting and ventilation, so a wet shower dries out instead of sitting humid all day
- ✓Layout changes, such as widening the opening; in a slab home, moving the drain means opening the slab, which we plan for before demolition
If you are torn between rebuilding the shower you have and changing its size, we go through both during the home visit and show you where the money actually shows up. A new shower is often the first step in a wider room update, and for that larger project our guide to bathroom remodeling costs in Fort Lauderdale explains what drives the budget.
How We Work
How Our Shower Installation Process Works
1. In Home Measure Up
We visit, measure the opening from wall to wall and check where the drain and the valve sit now, because that often decides how far the new shower can move. You tell us who uses it, how much glass you want and what has been going wrong.
2. Plan and Selections
You get a written plan for the pan, the waterproofing, the tile layout, the valve and head, the glass and the lighting, with finishes picked to take daily use in a humid room. Nothing is ordered or demolished until you have seen it.
3. Approvals and Scheduling
If the job needs a permit, or sign off from a condo board or HOA, we build that time into the schedule so you know what happens when before the crew arrives.
4. Tear Out and Installation
We cover the floors and doorways on the way in, strip out the old tub or shower, deal with anything we find behind the wall, then build up the pan, the waterproofing, the tile and the glass in order, cleaning the area at the end of each day.
5. Final Walkthrough
Once the trim and the glass are set, we walk the finished shower with you to confirm it matches the plan we put together.
Made for South Florida Homes
Shower Installation for Fort Lauderdale Homes
A shower in Fort Lauderdale works harder than a shower almost anywhere else. It runs year round, it gets used again after an afternoon storm or a day at the beach, and the air in the room never really dries out on its own. That is why we treat the waterproofing layer and the exhaust fan as part of the shower and not as extras: a pan built to drain properly and a fan that can actually clear the room are what keep grout, glass and drywall from looking tired in a couple of seasons.
A lot of houses in Wilton Manors, Victoria Park, Oakland Park and Coral Ridge Isles were built in the 1950s and 1960s from concrete block on a slab, which changes how a shower goes in. The drain is cast into that slab, so swapping a tub for a walk-in shower in the same footprint usually reuses it, while sliding the shower to a new wall means cutting and patching concrete. We tell you which one your plan is before you commit. Older homes also hide surprises behind the old surround, and our remodeling tips for older Fort Lauderdale homes cover what we look for. In condo towers and townhomes, the building sets work hours and approval steps, so we plan around those rules from day one.

Common Questions
Shower Installation Questions
What does a shower installation in Fort Lauderdale FL include?
That depends on the shower you want. The work can cover a new pan and drain, waterproofing, wall tile and niches, the valve and shower head, a glass panel or door, lighting and ventilation, and a wider opening if the layout allows it. We settle the scope with you at the home visit.
How long does a shower installation take?
It comes down to the size of the opening, whether the drain stays where it is and whether a permit or building approval is needed. You get a schedule once the plan is locked in, and we keep you posted as each stage finishes.
Can you replace a tub with a walk-in shower?
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are a regular part of our shower installation work, and we plan the drain, the waterproofing, the tile and the glass so the new shower suits the room and is easy to step into.
Can you install a shower in a condo or townhome?
Condo and HOA rules often limit work hours, noise and what can be altered inside the unit. Mention your building on the first call and we will shape the plan and the schedule around those requirements.
How much does a shower installation cost in Fort Lauderdale?
It depends on the size of the shower, the tile and glass you pick and whether the drain has to move. If the shower is part of a full room update, our bathroom remodeling cost guide for Fort Lauderdale walks through the main factors; for the shower itself we give you a clear quote after the home visit.

Contact UsShower Installation Questions from Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
Do you install walk-in showers in older Fort Lauderdale homes?
Yes. Many houses around Fort Lauderdale sit on a concrete slab, so we check where the existing drain is before planning the new shower and tell you whether it can be reused or whether the slab needs opening.
Can a tub-to-shower conversion keep the same footprint?
Often it can, which usually means reusing the drain that is already there. We confirm it at the home visit and show you what the shower would look like in that space.
Do you handle permits and HOA approval for a new shower?
Where the work calls for a permit or for condo or HOA approval, we account for it in the schedule so you know the steps before construction starts.
