Shower Repair in Fort Lauderdale, FL by a Licensed and Insured Crew
A Class Remodeling repairs leaking, cracked and worn out showers for homeowners in Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, Victoria Park, Oakland Park and Coral Ridge Isles. Most of these jobs happen in homes where the family is still using the bathroom every day, so we plan the work around your routine, keep the mess contained and tell you what we find behind the tile.
A shower repair with us can mean rebuilding a failed shower pan and its waterproofing, regrouting and replacing cracked or loose tile, swapping a dripping shower valve or corroded trim, resealing a glass enclosure and curb, and fixing the ventilation that let the moisture sit there in the first place.
Every repair starts with a visit so we can see the shower, the wall around it and the floor outside it, and work out where the water is actually getting out. You get a clear scope and a price before anything comes apart, because a repair that treats the stain and not the source comes back.
When the repair is finished we run the shower, check the areas we opened and walk through the work with you. If your shower is leaking, the grout keeps cracking or the tile sounds hollow, call A Class Remodeling at (754) 457-2737 or request a quote. Planning a bigger project too?

What We Fix
What a Shower Repair Includes
No two leaking showers fail the same way. Sometimes it is only the grout and the caulk at the curb; sometimes the pan under the tile has been letting water into the slab for years. We find out which one you have, then repair what needs repairing instead of tearing out the whole room. A shower repair in Fort Lauderdale can include:
- ✓Shower pans and bases, rebuilt with new waterproofing and a drain that keeps water where it belongs
- ✓Tile and grout repair, from regrouting and resealing to replacing cracked, stained or hollow sounding tile
- ✓Shower valves and trim, when a handle drips, sticks or will not hold a steady temperature
- ✓Fixtures and hardware, including shower heads, arms, niches, hinges and pitted door hardware
- ✓Glass doors and enclosures, resealed and set straight so the water stays inside the shower
- ✓Ventilation and moisture damage, so steam clears the room instead of soaking grout, paint and trim
If you are not sure whether your shower needs a repair or a full rebuild, we show you what we are seeing during the visit and give you both options in plain language. When the damage has gone past the shower and a redo makes more sense, our guide to bathroom remodeling costs in Fort Lauderdale covers those bigger budgets.
How We Work
How Our Shower Repair Process Works
1. Home Visit and Inspection
We come to your home and look at the whole picture: the tile and grout, the curb, the valve, the glass, and the floor and baseboards in the rooms next to the shower. We also ask when you first noticed the problem, because that usually tells us how far the water has traveled.
2. Finding the Source
A wet spot is rarely where the leak starts. We trace it back to the grout, the pan, the valve, the drain connection or the door seal, then put the repair in writing with the materials we plan to use, so you know the scope before we start.
3. Permits and Scheduling
Where the work calls for permits or condo or HOA approval, we account for that in the schedule so you know what to expect before the repair starts.
4. Opening Up and Repair
Our crew covers floors and doorways, takes out only the failed tile, pan or trim that has to go, and rebuilds in stages with proper waterproofing. The work area gets cleaned up at the end of each day and you hear from us as the repair moves along.
5. Water Test and Walkthrough
Before we call it done we run the shower and check the areas we opened, then walk through the finished work with you so you can see exactly what was repaired and why.
Local Conditions
Shower Repair for Fort Lauderdale Homes
Showers in South Florida work hard all year. The air stays humid, so grout and caulk never get a long dry spell, and a shower rinsed off after the beach or the yard every day stays wet far longer than one up north. Most houses here sit on a concrete slab, which means a failed pan often shows up as a damp baseboard or a dark line on the floor of the next room rather than as a drip you can see. Closer to the ocean and the Intracoastal, salt in the air goes after hinges, shower arms and trim long before the tile gives out.
Plenty of homes in Victoria Park, just east of downtown, and in Coral Ridge Isles up near Commercial Boulevard are concrete block houses from the 1950s and 1960s, and their original showers were built on a mortar bed that has taken decades of water. When we open a wall or a floor we look at the framing and the substrate behind it before closing it back up, so the repair deals with the cause and not only the finish. We are based in southwest Fort Lauderdale off I-595, a straight run north on I-95 or Federal Highway to Wilton Manors, Oakland Park and the condo buildings closer to the beach, where building and HOA rules on work hours and approvals get planned into the schedule from the start.

Common Questions
Shower Repair Questions
What does a shower repair in Fort Lauderdale include?
It depends on what failed. A shower repair with A Class Remodeling can cover the pan and its waterproofing, tile and grout, the valve and trim, shower heads and door hardware, the glass enclosure and the ventilation. We scope it with you during the home visit.
How long does a shower repair take?
The timeline depends on how much of the shower has to come apart, how far the water traveled and whether permits or building approvals are needed. We give you a schedule once the scope is set and keep you updated as the work moves forward.
How do I know my shower is leaking and not just splashing?
The usual signs are grout that keeps cracking, tile that sounds hollow when you tap it, a musty smell that will not clear, damp baseboards or warped flooring in the next room, and a stain on the ceiling below an upstairs shower. We open a small area to confirm the source before we quote the repair.
Can you repair a shower in a condo or townhome?
Condos and townhomes come with building or HOA rules on work hours, noise and what can be changed. Tell us about your building on the first call and we will plan the repair around those requirements.
How much does shower repair cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Cost depends on how much of the shower has to be taken apart, what we find behind the tile and the finishes you choose, so we give you a clear quote after the home visit. If the damage has spread and the whole room is on the table, our bathroom remodeling cost guide for Fort Lauderdale explains the main factors.

Contact UsShower Repair Questions from Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
What are the first signs a shower needs repair?
Grout that keeps cracking, tile that sounds hollow, caulk pulling away at the curb, a musty smell, or a damp baseboard in the room next to the shower. In a two story home, a stain on the ceiling under the shower is usually the first thing people notice.
Do you repair showers in older Fort Lauderdale homes?
Yes. Many houses in neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Coral Ridge Isles date from the 1950s and 1960s, and their showers were built on a mortar bed that has taken decades of water. We check the substrate behind the tile before we close anything back up.
Can a leaking shower be fixed without redoing the whole bathroom?
Often it can. We scope the repair at the home visit and tell you plainly whether the pan, tile, valve or enclosure is the problem, or whether the damage has spread far enough that a larger project makes more sense.
