Custom Shower Installation Built for Salt Lake City Homes
Bath Crest Home Solutions is a licensed bathroom remodeling company that has installed showers in Salt Lake City homes since 1979. Shower installation covers several approaches, including walk-in tile showers, frameless glass enclosures, and prefabricated surrounds, and each fits a different bathroom and budget. Homeowners typically call us when an aging tub-shower combo starts to look dated, when a leak turns up behind old tile, or when they want a curbless design that is easier to clean and safer to step into. We walk through these options in terms of what they mean day to day, not as a list of building materials, so you can see how each choice affects your morning routine, your maintenance, and your home's resale value.
What Determines the Right Shower Design for Your Bathroom
Your bathroom's layout, the location of existing plumbing, and the wall space available determine whether a tiled walk-in, a frameless enclosure, or a prefabricated unit is the best fit. Moving plumbing adds cost and time, while working within the existing footprint keeps a project simple. Bath Crest's design consultation covers this assessment at no cost, so you know your options before committing to anything.

How We Install Your New Shower, Start to Finish
Step 1: Free in-home design consultation. A Bath Crest specialist visits your home, measures the space, discusses layout and style preferences, and prepares a written quote with product options. Skipping this step is why DIY shower kits so often don't fit.
Step 2: Demolition and waterproofing. The old tub or shower is removed and the space is waterproofed with a proper membrane system before any tile goes down. Improper waterproofing at this stage is the single most common cause of shower leaks and mold in Salt Lake City homes, which is why licensed installation matters.
Step 3: Tile, fixtures, and glass installation. Tile, shower pan, fixtures, and glass enclosure, if selected, are installed by the same licensed team, coordinated so plumbing and finish work happen without gaps between trades.
Step 4: Final walkthrough and cleanup. The finished shower is inspected with you, the workspace is cleaned, and Bath Crest stands behind the installation going forward.
Layout changes, plumbing relocation, and premium tile or glass selections increase scope and cost. Standard replacements within an existing footprint remain the most economical option, and we outline where your project falls on that spectrum during your free consultation.
Shower Installation Questions from Salt Lake City Homeowners
How Long Does a Shower Installation Take?
Most shower installations we complete in Salt Lake City take two to four days once demolition begins, depending on tile complexity and whether plumbing needs to move. We give you an exact timeline in writing during your free consultation, before any work starts on your home.
Can You Install a Shower Without Moving the Plumbing?
Yes. If your new shower fits within the existing plumbing footprint, installation is faster and less expensive. We assess this during the free design consultation and will tell you upfront whether your layout requires plumbing relocation before you commit to a design.
What Type of Shower Holds Up Best to Salt Lake City’s Hard Water?
Frameless glass with a properly sealed tile surround holds up best against Salt Lake City's hard water. We use waterproofing membranes and grout sealants rated for mineral-heavy water, which reduces staining and buildup far longer than standard builder-grade installations.
Do I Need a Permit for a Shower Installation in Salt Lake City?
Most shower installations that don't move plumbing or walls don't require a separate permit, but projects involving plumbing relocation typically do. As a licensed plumbing contractor, Bath Crest Home Solutions handles any required permitting as part of your project at no extra coordination effort for you.
