Like everything else, eventually, the shower in your bathroom will need some attention. Whether it’s from the normal day-to-day use, or it’s looking a little worse for wear, a little bit of maintenance can go a long way. Regular cleaning and freshening up caulking can give your shower longevity. We offer regular maintenance services for those that are interested.

With a Schluter Shower System, you can rest assured that it is water tight, and fully bonded, to withstand any usage for years to come. When is the best time to replace your shower? Let us give you the four signs that it’s time for something new.
Leaks: Leaks can damage the tiles and walls, especially if it’s not caught fast enough. You’re looking for trickling through any cracks, pooling water, mysterious puddles. These leaks can cause issues like structural damage to the room and other problems that could lead to a hefty repair bill.
Cracks or Gaps: While cracks may seem minimal, they can be a cause of, or contribute to, leaks in the walls. They start out tiny but can very quickly get out of control.
Mold & Mildew: Mold and mildew are unsightly and unhygienic. It will show up as black spots when too much moisture is stuck in one area, such as a leak or a crack in the wall. If it starts spreading throughout the shower or is showing up in multiple spots, this is a sign that the finish is eroding.
Stains: Stains may not hurt the tile or the shower’s performance, but it can be unsightly. It’s hard to determine how clean your shower area is because of the stains. If you’re already thinking about updating your shower, getting rid of that stain is just one more reason.
