How Long Does the Tub and Shower Design Consultation Process Take?

The tub and shower remodel consultation typically takes around 90 minutes. Some appointments can range from two to three hours, depending on the conversation with your design consultant, your questions, and the time spent reviewing options and layout choices. 

Because of this, Shugarman’s Bath recommends that you plan accordingly when scheduling your design consultation, whether with us or another tub and shower remodeler. Make sure you leave enough time between your consultation and your next set of plans. You don’t want to be watching the clock while making a big decision about your home. 

In this short-form guide, you’ll learn how long a tub and shower design consultation typically takes, why the process needs that time, and how to prepare so you get the most out of your appointment.

Why Is It Important Not to Rush Your Consultation?

Scheduling something immediately afterward adds unnecessary pressure. It’s harder to stay focused on the decisions in front of you. Slow down, get all your questions answered, and give your design choices the proper attention to have a clear plan for your remodel.

Even if you don’t move forward with Shugarman’s Bath, you should walk away with a clear design direction and the full cost of your project at the end of your consultation.
