Tackling Unexpected Shower Remodeling Challenges In Costa Mesa, CA

Eliminate All The Headaches When You Choose
Orange County’s Bath Remodeling Specialist

So, you’ve finally taken the plunge and decided to undertake a Costa Mesa, CA shower remodeling project. You’ve worked hand-in-hand with our team at Shugarman’s Bath to design the best new walk-in shower with all the features and accessories you could dream of.

Now, it’s time to put your plans in place. After we complete our in-home design consultation, we’ll offer a detailed estimate that’s good for one year at MSRP. Once you agree to the estimate, we’ll begin our low-stress shower remodeling process.

But even for a team like ours, unexpected challenges can arise. Here’s how we navigate them to make your shower remodel a success.

Working Around Walk-In Shower Material Delays

At Shugarman’s Bath, we offer only the best products and materials to our customers. Many bathroom remodelers in the Orange County area opt for flimsy acrylic liners or cheap fiberglass.

A lot of times, these options are available in your local home improvement store, making it a breeze for these contractors to obtain their supplies. While you won’t have to worry about product delays with these bathroom remodeling companies, you’ll most certainly have headaches down the road as your products quickly fail.

When it comes to our shower solutions, we custom-order every walk-in shower to meet the specific needs of each customer. Because of our commitment to quality products, we can’t simply go to the hardware store and select a new shower.

While rare, we may experience supplier delays. It’s our policy to keep you informed. You’ll never be left wondering what’s happening with your project. We will update you regularly until your materials arrive and are ready to be installed.

Handling Underlying Damage During A Shower Remodel

Often, shower remodeling is not so straightforward that one can simply remove the old system and install the new one. In many cases, underlying damage is present and needs to be corrected before the installation can continue.

Some bathroom remodelers don’t account for this in their estimates despite plumbing leaks, dry rot, and termite damage being common problems found in the shower area. So, when they encounter a problem that needs to be corrected, it results in a change order for your project, increasing the bill.

Others may not address these problems at all. This could be due to negligence or a lack of understanding of the shower area's complexities. In either case, the installation will proceed, but the walk-in shower system will be at risk of failing due to the underlying damage.

At Shugarman’s Bath, we do things quite a bit differently with our four-step process. Our team is well-versed in identifying and repairing almost every type of issue we come across. In 99% of cases, your bill won’t change because of our Never Any Extras Guarantee.

Navigating Tight Spaces With Your Walk-In Shower

Getting your old shower system out and your new one in can be a little tricky, depending on the layout of your home. Many contractors don’t take the time to be careful and courteous of your home.

We do everything we can to ensure we do not cause damage to your home or new walk-in shower. Our installers will carefully navigate your home with all materials and place protective coverings to keep the dust and debris to a minimum.

To ensure the smoothest process for our team of bath remodeling specialists, you can identify the easiest path ahead of installation day and remove all obstacles. This will help make our job of protecting your home and shower system much easier.

Dealing Without Water Access During Your Shower Remodel

Another thing to consider is the water to your Costa Mesa, CA home. If your shower doesn’t have its own shut-off valve that is easily accessible, your bath remodeler may need to shut the water off in your house.

If you choose an average contractor for the job, you could be looking at a week or longer for your remodel. Can you imagine the inconvenience?

Even if your shower has a designated shut-off, your bathroom will still be out of commission for the duration of the project. If you choose one of those remodelers who can’t deliver showroom-quality results with a quick turnaround, you could be left high and dry without a bathroom for weeks.

At Shugarman’s Bath, we can typically complete your shower remodel in as little as 1–2 days. Our water shut offs can be as short as 1–2 hours, and almost never exceed 4 hours. You won’t be left without a bathroom or running water for weeks on end.
