Custom Shower Pan Installation
A reliable walk-in shower starts with a solid foundation. Whether you are planning a tub-to-shower conversion or replacing an old plastic insert, proper slope and membrane installation prevent leaks and protect your subfloor. We focus on clear communication and careful prep so the finished shower functions exactly as intended.
Who Needs a Custom Shower Pan?
This service is for Franklin homeowners dealing with leaking showers, squishy floors, or outdated tub inserts.

Planning Your Walk-In Shower
Substrate Preparation and Layout
A durable walk-in shower requires a flat, stable subfloor. Before installing the shower pan, we check the joists for deflection and repair any hidden rot from previous leaks. Proper layout planning ensures the drain aligns correctly and the tile cuts look symmetrical against the walls.
Material Selection for Wet Areas
Choosing the right materials impacts both safety and longevity. We recommend slip-resistant tile for the shower pan and specify the correct polymer-modified thin-set for wet environments. Our estimate preparation checklist helps you gather the necessary SKU and dimension details before the project starts.
