After...
What started-out as a minor bathroom freshening quickly grew to a
complete tearout, as the lower third of the tile wall in the shower
stall collapsed during a routine shower. As it turns-out, poor
construction
techniques when the shower was built originally lead to serious water
damage and rot, requiring a complete tearout and rebuild of the
shower stall.
The homeowner was delighted with the final result shown in the pictures
at left and below. The bathroom was transformed from a dated,
rather masculine look to an airy retreat.

The bathroom features 12" x 12" porcelain tile on the floor and shower
walls, with 1" x 1" mosaic tiles on the floor of the shower providing
an attractive non-slip surface. The floor-to-ceiling shower
stall is enhanced with a colorful slate mosaic border, and includes a
comfortable integrated corner seat. |
Dual ceramic shelves provide
lots of storage for soaps, shampoo, and other necessities. The
Danze shower faucet and head in oil-rubbed bronze finish complement the
matching faucets and accessories throughout the room.

Before...
Although the
master bathroom had great potential, with 10 foot ceilings and an airy
skylight over the generous shower stall, the dreary tile and worn-out
fixtures were in desperate need of updating.
As seen in the pictures below, poor construction techniques had caused
significant water damage to the framing and floor
substrate. Inadequate subfloor support resulting in
cracking of the tile substrate, and ultimately the grout joints
throughout the bathroom floor. What looks like driftwood in
the picture below was once the support for the shower curb.
There's not much left after years of soaking by water leaking from the
improperly-installed shower pan.
