One-Day Showers Are Appealing—but Not Always Feasible

One-Day Showers

One-day showers are incredibly appealing. After all, who wouldn’t want a beautiful new shower installed without days or weeks of disruption? Contractors come in, and by the end of the day, your space feels refreshed. But here at Ideal Remodeling, we believe in transparency: while some companies can offer a one-day turnaround, our process takes a bit more care, and that’s why we don’t advertise one-day showers. We want to set realistic expectations so you get a shower you’ll love for years to come.

One-Day Showers, Two-Day Showers or 7 Days Showers are less important than WELL BUILT SHOWERS!

Step-by-Step: What Goes Into a Quality Shower Installation 

1. Careful Demo Prep: We start by meticulously demoing the existing shower to avoid extra repair work later. That way, once the new shower is in, there’s very little left to do—maybe just a touch of paint.

2. Plumbing Prep: Next, we address the plumbing. Unless your current shower diverter is brand new, we’ll recommend replacing it and running a new line up to the shower head. We also add blocking for grab bars—whether now or in the future—so you have that added safety.

3. Shower Pan Installation: With our crylic shower walls we also use acrylic shower pans, and the trick is to cement them down to the subfloor. Once it’s set at the proper level, we let it cures before we walk on it and start adding the walls.

4. Substrate Selection: Behind the acrylic walls, we have options. You can use green board, which is moisture-resistant, but we prefer plywood. That way, anything attached—like a future grab bar that may have not been planned still has a solid anchor. Then, we prep the surface, glue on the acrylic, and seal all the corners with silicone.

5. Shower Door: After the shower is fully installed, we measure for a custom shower door through a professional shower door company. That usually takes about 10 days, but once it arrives, installation only takes a few hours. In the meantime, you’ll have a functional, gorgeous shower with a temporary curtain. This may seem like an inconvenience to wait for but the quality of the shower door is far above that which is just off the shelf.

How Much Does a One-Day Shower Cost?

On average, our Bellastone Acrylic shower remodel ranges between $9,000 and $12,000. Of course, every project is unique—your exact cost depends on the scope of demo, whether you add a shower door, and your custom measurements.
