A New-Looking Bathroom is too Nice to Ignore.

Bathrooms in the Spokane and Coeur D’alene area vary from home to home and can feature bathtubs, bath and shower combinations, stand-alone showers and walk-in showers.  Replacing a bathtub with a full walk-in shower means getting into a remodeling project that will render your bathroom useless during the process.

Start by –

1.  Removing the old bathtub as well as any tub framing that is in place.

2.  Use a custom-floated concrete shower pan for a walk-in.

3.  Run additional pipe to carry the water up to the new locations.

4.  All the walls have to be covered with some type of waterproofing underlayment

Wait…just how long do you want your bathroom to be “off-limits”?  Installing a walk-in shower is the job of a professional such as the people at A River City Plumbing serving Eastern Washington and Northwest Idaho.  Let’s begin the project by calling A River City Plumbing at (208) 659-6565 in Coeur D’alene or (509) 954-6567 in Spokane.

Installing a Tub and Shower Surround.

One thing for sure…a tub and shower surround is easy to maintain…once it’s built.  If you fancy yourself as Joe Handyman, the materials and tools that you will need for the project are a jigsaw, level, sandpaper, adhesive, caulk, and the surrounds themselves.  Then the fun begins as the muss and the fuss unfolds.

Here are some of the steps –

1.  Remove the spout, faucet handles, and accessories

2.  Remove the tile and look for mold growth

3.  Clean the walls and apply primer

4.  Mark holes where the showerhead, handles, and faucet will be

5.  Apply the adhesive and attach the panels to the wall

Installing a Tub and Shower.

When you think of your master bathroom how do you see it?  Is it just a necessity, or is it a haven where the best of the day begins and ends?  Some of us view our bathroom as our “my time” room and it needs to be special.  When you have a new tub and shower installed it really brightens things up.

Before you start, you'll want to install separate 3/4-inch lines to supply the shower. This extra step ensures good water pressure and protects you from temperature changes when another faucet is turned on or the toilet tank refills.  That’s a wake-up call you don’t need! You'll want to tap into the cold and hot water lines as close to the water heater as possible.

It all begins with a call to A River City Plumbing.  They are the masters of shower and tub installation in Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, and the surrounding area.  Please give the bathroom professionals a call and transform the beginning and end of each day into the best parts of it. 

Those numbers are (509) 954-6567 in Spokane or (208) 659-6565 in Idaho.
