Shower Remodel in Calgary: What's Included
A shower remodel in Calgary rebuilds a failing or dated shower from the waterproofing out, not with a surface cover-up that hides the real problem. If your shower has loose tile, dark grout lines, a musty smell or a soft spot in the floor, water is almost certainly getting behind the walls. We strip it back, correct the damage, re-waterproof and rebuild it to last.
What's Included
- Removal of failing tile, pan and surround
- Inspection and repair of hidden water damage
- New waterproofing membrane on floor and walls
- New shower pan or rebuilt sloped base
- Fresh tile or panel walls, valve and glass
- Sealing, grouting and a written workmanship warranty
Common Signs You Need Shower Remodel
These are the warning signs that a shower needs a real remodel, not just re-grouting.
- Loose, cracked or hollow-sounding tiles
- Grout that keeps cracking or falling out
- A musty smell or visible mould at the base
- A soft or spongy spot underfoot in the shower
- Staining appearing on the ceiling below the bathroom
Materials and Method Options
| Approach | What it involves | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Re-tile rebuild | Strip to studs, re-waterproof, new tile | Tiled showers that have failed |
| Panel conversion | Grout-free acrylic or stone-look panels | Low-maintenance, faster turnaround |
| Full custom | New base, niches, bench, frameless glass | A complete high-end upgrade |
Local Calgary Considerations
Recurring shower failures are common in Calgary homes from the 1990s and early 2000s, where builder-grade waterproofing has simply reached the end of its life. Once water tracks behind the tile it can reach the subfloor and the ceiling below, so addressing a failing shower early usually saves a far larger repair later.
Why Choose Us
Why Calgary Homeowners Choose Calgary Bathroom Renovation
We Fix the Cause, Not the Symptom
Re-grouting a failing shower only buys a few months. We remove the tile, find where water is getting in, repair it and rebuild with a proper membrane so the failure does not return.
Hidden Damage Handled Honestly
When we open a wall and find rot or mould, we photograph it, explain it and quote the repair in writing before proceeding. You always know what you are paying for and why.
Built to Outlast the Original
Our rebuilds use waterproofing systems well beyond builder-grade, which is why we can stand behind them with a written warranty rather than hoping they hold.
How It Works
Our Process
- Assessment. We inspect the shower and look for the source and extent of any water damage.
- Fixed quote. You receive a clear price and selections, with any likely hidden-repair range flagged up front.
- Tear-out. We remove the failed tile, pan and surround and expose the framing.
- Repair and waterproof. We repair damage, rebuild the base slope and apply the full membrane.
- Tile, valve and glass. New walls, fixtures and glass are installed and sealed.
- Walkthrough. We clean, review the finished shower and hand over the warranty.
Pricing
What Shower Remodel Costs in Calgary
Because remodels sometimes reveal hidden damage, we quote the visible scope clearly and flag likely repair ranges before starting.
Typical range: $8,000 to $18,000 depending on damage and finishes. Every project is quoted individually after an in-home visit, with a fixed, line-item price you approve before we start.
The main factors that affect your price:

- Glass door or frameless enclosure
- Valve or plumbing relocation
What Customers Say
“They gutted our 1990s ensuite and delivered a spa-level walk-in shower in eleven days. The site was spotless every evening and the quote never moved. Genuinely the easiest reno we have done.”Sarah M.Aspen Woods, Calgary
“Heated floors, a floating vanity and quartz counters that came in exactly on budget. They caught a hidden leak behind the old tile and fixed it before it became a disaster.”Priya S.Airdrie
“Second time hiring them. Same lead carpenter, honest pricing and they stand behind their work with a real warranty. That is rare in this city.”Elaine W.Signal Hill, Calgary
FAQ
Shower Remodel Questions, Answered
Can you just re-grout instead of remodelling?
If the waterproofing is intact and only the grout is cosmetic, re-grouting can help. But when tiles are loose or there is a musty smell, the membrane has usually failed and a proper remodel is the only lasting fix.
How do you find hidden water damage?
Once the tile is off we can see and probe the framing and subfloor. We document anything we find and quote the repair before continuing, so there are no silent surprises.
Will a panel shower look cheap?
Modern acrylic and stone-look panels have come a long way. They are grout-free and very low maintenance, and we will show you samples so you can judge the look before deciding.
Do you warranty the waterproofing?
Yes. Our rebuilds include a written workmanship warranty, which we can offer because the waterproofing is installed as a complete system.
