Bathroom Shower Remodels in Wylie
So you’ve decided to remodel your primary bathroom shower, whether it’s because a builder-grade unit is leaking, you’ve experienced foundation settling, or you simply desire a new modern, high-end look. In any case, there are many factors that affect the overall design and construction of your Primary bathroom shower remodel, from material selection and size to optional luxury features.
At VIP Services, we are a trusted custom shower contractor dedicated to best practices in construction, ensuring a long-lasting, leak-free, and beautiful result.
See our Bathroom Remodeling page for more details on our process.
Phase 1: Demolition and Site Preparation (The VIP Standard)
The demolition phase sets the tone for your entire full bathroom renovation. The effort and complexity of removal vary significantly.
The VIP Services Dust Control Standard
When renovating a bathroom or shower, Demo Preparation is the key to providing an overall great client experience. Our standard procedure ensures maximum dust control:
Covering all doorways with zipper openings (allowing the rest of your home to remain functional).
Covering all floors leading into and out of the work area.
Covering everything in the adjacent bedroom to control as much of the dust as possible.
Offering Air Scrubbers that continuously filter the air and DUST-FREE Demo services to all VIP Clients.
Phase 2: High-Quality Shower Construction and Waterproofing
Basic shower construction is similar, but the materials and techniques used by your contractor are what determine quality and longevity. We are a shower waterproofing specialist focused on using superior materials.
Shower Pan Construction: Floors are typically constructed of sloped concrete over a waterproof liner to ensure proper drainage.
Wall Construction: We recommend and install concrete backer board for all walls and ceilings where tile will be installed.
Complete Sealing: Sealing joints and seams with a water-proof paint-on membrane is paramount. A product like Redgard Or Hydro Ban is always applied to corners, window openings, seats/benches, niches and curbs
Testing Required: VIP Services tests every shower pan before the tile is installed to ensure there are no defects in the water-proofing liner and that all was installed and sealed correctly. We do this by performing a ball-test that sits overnight to confirm no leaks are present.
Quality Warning: While some installers may use semi-waterproof greenboard or foam board to reduce materials cost, it is absolutely not recommended for a long-term, high-quality shower, as these materials can lead to moisture issues over time.
Phase 3: Custom Design Features and Upgrades
Our Complimentary Design Services are included with all major bathroom remodels.
Having a true professional help with selections really helps with stress-levels and delivers the VIP client experience.
Tile Design and Material Selection
Tile design and material selections affect the overall labor complexity:
Curbless Shower Installation
Curbless showers, also called Roll-In showers, eliminate the need for a curb or step-over at the entrance, offering a sleeker look and a key feature for universal design and accessibility.
This installation requires specialized planning and construction modifications, depending on your home’s subfloor (wood framing vs. concrete slab).
Recessed Niches and Shelves
These features maximize storage and maintain a clean, organized aesthetic:
Recessed Niches: Built-in storage for shampoo and soap. Options include a standard single niche, a double niche (approximately 15”x 15”), or a large niche running 3ft to 4ft wide along an entire back wall for a modern, expansive look
The VIP Standard includes niches constructed of concrete-board only, sealed with a paint-on water-proffing membrane to properly sealed and ensure a long-lasting, leak-free finish.
Corner Shelves: An alternative for storing smaller items, installed directly into a corner.
Shower Seats and Benches
Shower seats or benches are a popular feature for comfort, safety, and relaxation.
Construction Quality: VIP Services constructs all benches out of concrete block instead of lumber and sealer, to insure a long-lasting, rot-free upgrade.
Options: These can be created as smaller corner seats or as full benches that cover one entire wall.
Shower Valve and Sprayer Systems
The existing shower valve is normally replaced in most remodels to avoid possible demo and repair later. A licensed plumber should always be employed to install this unit.
Relocation: Moving the valve to a new location or adjacent wall requires additional plumbing labor and materials.
Luxury Features: Many clients prefer to include additional heads, body-jets, or hand-sprayers, which requires a Diverter-Valve to be installed to redirect the water flow to each fixture.
Quality Warning: Adding more heads and sprayers can significantly reduce the overall flow and pressure when used at the same time. Be sure to have your contractor review and confirm that the pipe supplying water to your shower is sized right!
Shower Drains and Plumbing
Shower drains are always replaced by VIP Services during the new shower construction. Relocation is a common request to re-center the drain or accommodate a modern linear drain.
Second Floor/Pier & Beam: Relocation is generally less complex since concrete does not need to be removed and refilled.
Concrete Slab: Relocating a drain requires additional time for breaking and refilling the concrete floor.
Phase 4: Custom Shower Glass Enclosures
Most VIP Services’ clients prefer a Clear Frameless Glass enclosure with Chrome, Black, or Brushed Nickel finished handles and hinges, providing a clean, open, and modern aesthetic.
Framed vs. Frameless: Thinner Framed-Glass options are often considered more of a builder-grade feature, which is why most homeowners opt for the cleaner, more substantial look of true Frameless Glass.
Custom upgrades include:
Frosted surfaces - for privacy
Streak-Free Glass coatings (for easier maintenance) – Think RainX for your shower!
Added Towel bars - on the door or fixed glass panels.
Accessible Solutions – Designing for Life
We want to be sure you’ve considered all options before we start by Offering and Integrating features for long-term use and safety, such as:
comfort-height toilets (taller than typical)
hand-sprayers
Shower Seats (completely rot-proof)
barrier-free showers (curbless)
grab bars (with proper blocking)
non-slip flooring
wider shower doors & bath entry doors
Homeowner Pain Point: Failing to Plan for the Future. Universal design elements are crucial for aging in place but are often overlooked until a second, costly remodel is required.
Phase 5: Ease-Of-Maintenance Features (The VIPS Standard)
VIP Services includes many quality features as part of our VIPS Standard and 3-Year Warranty.
Grout Sealer: Included with every tile install, which will not require sealing within the first year.
Epoxy-grout is an upgrade option that does not need to be sealed, and resists moisture, mold, and mildew better than standard grout.
Grout Caulk: Applied at all corners. Since every house moves over time, small hairline cracks can develop in corners. VIP Services always applies a flexible grout-caulk in these areas to cover minor movement and ensure a tidy finish.
Streak-Free Glass coatings (for easier maintenance) – Think RainX for your shower!
Our Process and Guarantee
When looking for a Residential Remodeling Contractor, consider asking about their Process and Guarantee. VIP Services has a written process, provided with every Shower Remodel Proposal, that includes all the essential steps along with photos of each so that you fully recognize the necessary procedure to ensure a long-lasting, hassle-free shower.
We assign a dedicated Project Coordinator who will set up your complimentary Design Consultation.
We feel that slowing down for planning, and ensuring that all of our details are correct before we start, is the only way to be sure that things run smoothly—this is the VIP Experience we always plan on delivering.
The Top 5 Things to Consider Before Starting Your Bathroom Remodel
To ensure your bathroom renovation is stress-free and successful, here are the top considerations before demolition begins:
1. Establish a Detailed, Realistic Budget (with Contingency):
Set a clear budget early, covering materials, labor, and permits.
Always reserve a 10-15% contingency fund for inevitable, unseen issues like outdated plumbing or hidden water damage discovered during demolition. Our Menu-Pricing helps you control costs line-by-line.
2. Prioritize Layout and Functionality over Aesthetics:
Determine the primary purpose of the remodel (e.g., maximizing space, enhancing aesthetics, or increasing accessibility).
Decide early if you need to move fixtures (toilet, sink, shower). Changing the layout significantly increases cost and time due to complex plumbing and permitting requirements.
3. Choose Durable, High-Quality, Moisture-Resistant Materials:
Bathrooms are high-humidity, high-use areas; the materials must be able to withstand water, heat, and daily wear.
Prioritize quality for tiling, waterproofing membranes, and ventilation—these are the protective layers of your investment. VIPS provides access to discounted, high-quality material suppliers.
4. Invest in Layered Lighting and Proper Ventilation:
A good design uses a mix of task lighting (vanity), ambient lighting (overhead), and accent lighting.
Ensure your exhaust fan is appropriately sized for your room's square footage to prevent moisture buildup, which is the leading cause of mold, mildew, and structural rot.
5. Hire a Qualified, Full-Service General Contractor:
A bathroom remodel contractor must coordinate plumbing, electrical, tiling, carpentry, and more—all specialized trades in a small, water-sensitive space.
Choosing a company like VIPS Services, which manages all trades and provides a clear process, Project Manager oversight, and a guarantee, is essential for keeping the project on track and up to code.
