Walk-In Shower Installation Done the Right Way

A walk-in shower opens up a bathroom, makes it easier to use, and instantly modernizes the space, especially when it replaces a tub nobody uses. But a shower is one of the hardest-working parts of any home, and what separates one that lasts from one that fails is entirely behind the tile: the waterproofing, the pan slope, and the substrate. Get those wrong and you get leaks, mold, and loose tile within a couple of years.

That’s why AMG Proline handles walk-in shower installation with one crew and builds the hidden layers first. We waterproof properly, slope the pan so water goes exactly where it should, then finish with the tile, niches, glass, and fixtures you choose. Because we plan the shower alongside the rest of the bathroom, the finishes and layout work together.

A walk-in shower is often the centerpiece of a full bathroom remodel, and when the project reaches further, our full home remodeling team handles the rest. See finished showers in our project gallery, or request a free quote to get started.

Showers Built for Comfort and Easy Access

A curbless, walk-in shower isn’t just a modern look, it’s one of the smartest upgrades for a bathroom you plan to use for years. With no threshold to step over, a zero-entry shower is easier and safer to use for everyone, and it makes a bathroom far more accessible as needs change over time. Done well, it looks clean and high-end, not clinical.

We design curbless showers with the right slope, drainage, and waterproofing so a step-free entry stays completely watertight, then add the features that make it comfortable and safe: built-in benches, grab bars that blend in, handheld and rainfall heads, and slip-conscious tile. The result is a shower that’s beautiful now and practical for the long haul.

  • Zero-threshold, curbless entry
  • Built-in benches and shower seating
  • Grab bars integrated into the design
  • Handheld and rainfall shower heads
  • Slip-conscious tile and proper drainage

Walk-In Shower Design and Layout

We design the shower around your bathroom and how you use it, whether that’s a tub-to-shower conversion in the existing alcove or a larger curbless build. Layout, size, and features are planned before demolition starts.

  • Tub-to-shower or full custom builds
  • Curbless and standard entries
  • Benches, niches, and fixtures planned in

Tile and Glass You Choose in Person

One crew handles the waterproofing, pan slope, and substrate that decide whether a shower lasts, then installs the tile and glass. No shortcuts on the parts you never see.

  • Proper waterproofing and pan slope

  • Precise install, grout, and seal
  • A finish built to last

Our Remodeling Process

Our Walk-In Shower Process, Start to Finish

AMG Proline handles walk-in shower installation from demolition to the final glass panel, all with one crew. The job starts with removing the old tub or shower and inspecting what’s behind it, since older bathrooms often hide water damage, aging plumbing, or a substrate that won’t support a lasting shower. We address what we find before building back, so the new shower starts on a sound foundation.

Next comes the part that decides everything: waterproofing and the pan. We build a correctly sloped shower pan so water flows to the drain, then waterproof the walls and floor properly. This is the step weekend jobs and rushed contractors get wrong, and it’s the reason so many showers leak or grow mold within a few years. We don’t cut corners here, because it’s what makes the whole thing last.

With the shower watertight, we install the tile, niches, and any bench, then fit the fixtures and glass. You choose the tile, glass style, and shower heads at our showroom, so the finished look is exactly what you pictured. For curbless designs, we handle the extra drainage and slope work that keeps a step-free entry completely dry.

A walk-in shower is often the heart of a full bathroom remodel, and when the project reaches further, our home remodeling team carries the same standard through the house. See finished showers in our project gallery, then call (708) 979-3298 or request a free quote to get started.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes, tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most common projects we do. We remove the existing tub, inspect and repair what’s behind it, then build a walk-in shower in the same footprint, or reconfigure the space if you want something larger. Trading an unused tub for a shower opens up the bathroom, makes it easier to use, and modernizes the whole room. We handle the demolition, waterproofing, plumbing, tile, and glass with one crew, so the conversion is done right and built to last.

A curbless, or zero-threshold, shower has no step or curb to cross at the entry, so you walk straight in at floor level. It’s a clean, modern look and one of the smartest choices for a bathroom you plan to use for years, since it’s easier and safer to enter and makes the space far more accessible as needs change. The key is proper slope, drainage, and waterproofing so a step-free entry stays completely dry. Done right, a curbless shower looks high-end, not clinical, and we design them to blend seamlessly into the bathroom.

Leaks come from what’s behind the tile, not the tile itself, so that’s where we focus. We build a correctly sloped shower pan so water always flows to the drain, then waterproof the walls and floor with the proper membrane and materials before any tile goes up. We also make sure the substrate is sound and the drainage is right. This hidden work is exactly what rushed jobs skip, and it’s the single biggest reason showers fail. We never cut corners on it, which is what keeps our showers watertight for years.

Most walk-in shower installations take about one to two weeks, depending on whether it’s a straightforward tub-to-shower conversion or a larger custom or curbless build. The timeline accounts for demolition, addressing anything found behind the old shower, waterproofing, tile installation, and curing time, then the glass, which is often measured and ordered after the tile is set. We give you a realistic schedule up front, and because one crew handles every step, the project stays coordinated from demolition to the final glass panel.

Quite a few. We build in recessed niches for shampoo and soap, built-in benches or fold-down seating, curbless entries, grab bars integrated into the design, handheld and rainfall shower heads, and body sprays. For accessibility, we can add slip-conscious tile, comfortable seating, and step-free access that still looks stylish. We plan these features into the design from the start so they’re built in properly rather than added on, and you choose the finishes and fixtures at our showroom.

Yes, and a walk-in shower often makes a small bathroom feel larger. Removing a bulky tub and replacing it with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower opens up sight lines and floor space, and a frameless glass panel keeps the room feeling open rather than boxed in. We design the shower to fit the footprint you have, using smart layout, the right glass, and tile choices that make the most of a compact space. Many of our tub-to-shower conversions are in smaller bathrooms for exactly this reason.

Cost depends on the size of the shower, the tile and glass you choose, whether it’s a straightforward conversion or a curbless custom build, and what we find behind the old shower once we open it up. A basic tub-to-shower conversion sits at one end, while a large curbless shower with premium tile and frameless glass costs more. Rather than quote a misleading range, we provide a detailed written estimate after seeing your bathroom, so you know exactly what your shower costs before any work begins.
