New Shower Installation in Lilburn, GA

It depends on scope - a straightforward prefab base-and-valve install is far less than a custom tiled shower with a site-built pan, a tub-to-shower conversion, or a curbless build with a re-worked drain. The plumbing side (valve, drain, pan, connections) is what we price, and you get one upfront flat number before we start. Call 770-398-STAR and we'll scope your bathroom.

Yes - tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most common shower jobs. We remove the tub, re-work the drain to the shower's footprint, rough in a code-compliant valve, and set the pan and waterproofing. If you want a curbless or low-threshold entry for easier access, we recess the drain and slope the floor so water still stays in.

Both work; they trade off differently. A prefab acrylic or fiberglass unit installs faster, costs less, and has fewer seams to leak. A tiled shower is fully custom and looks high-end but depends entirely on the pan and waterproofing being done right - a bad membrane leaks behind the tile for years. Whichever you choose, we make sure the pan, drain, and valve underneath are watertight.

We own the plumbing scope - the valve, drain, pan, and waterproofing that keep the shower from leaking - which is the part that causes expensive damage when it's rushed. On a full tiled remodel we coordinate with your tile setter so the pan and membrane are right before the tile goes on. If you already have a contractor, we handle the plumbing rough-in and trim-out on their schedule.

A like-for-like swap in the same footprint is often treated as minor work, but a tub-to-shower conversion, a relocated drain, or new supply and drain lines generally requires a permit, and requirements vary by city across Gwinnett County. Georgia code also requires modern scald-protection valves on new installs. We'll tell you whether your job needs a permit and pull it if so.

A pressure-balancing or thermostatic mixing valve, both of which meet Georgia's anti-scald code by preventing the sudden temperature swings that old three-handle valves allow - the kind that scald you when someone flushes a toilet. Thermostatic valves let you dial an exact temperature and are the better match for larger shower systems with multiple heads. We size the valve to your fixtures.

A prefab base-and-surround install with a straightforward valve is often a day or two of plumbing work. A custom tiled shower runs longer because the pan and waterproofing have to be built and the tile and grout need cure time before the final trim-out and testing. We'll give you an honest timeline for your specific build up front.

Yes. We build curbless and low-threshold showers by recessing the drain and sloping the floor so a wheelchair or walker can roll in while the water still drains cleanly. We can rough in for a bench, a handheld on a slide bar, and blocking for grab bars. Tell us how the shower needs to work and we'll plumb it to fit.
