MORE THAN A NEW COAT OF TILE

A Shower Worth the Tear-Out

Plenty of companies will resurface what you already have. We would rather build it right. At CraftHaus, demo and tile stay in-house, while our trusted plumbing and glass partners handle the specialized work. One team runs the whole job, so nothing slips between trades. Before any tile goes up, we plan the layout around how you actually use the space.

Shower Styles We Design and Build

Every build is custom, but most projects start from one of these. Here is how we break it down, based on your layout, budget, and the look you want.

How We Build Your Shower

Every project runs the same clear path, from first walkthrough to the day you use it. Nothing gets rushed, and nothing behind the wall gets skipped.

Consultation and Design

We visit your home, measure the space, and learn how you use it, then shape a layout and tile plan around your budget, your timeline, and the look you want.

2

Proposal and Selections

You get a clear, line-item estimate through our JobTread portal. Once it is approved, we lock in your tile, glass, and fixture choices together, step by step.

3

Demo and Rough-In

We protect your floors, seal the room for dust, and tear the old shower to the studs. Then plumbing and framing get updated for your new valve and drain.

4

Waterproofing and Tile

We install a fully bonded membrane, set your tile with flexible mortar, then grout, seal, and template the glass so every layer keeps water where it belongs.

5

Final Walkthrough

We clean the site top to bottom, test every seal, and walk the finished shower with you before we sign off. Most builds run about one to two weeks.

Shower Remodels Across Bothell and the North End

Older Bothell homes tend to hide surprises behind the wall, like corroded galvanized pipe or a 1.5-inch drain that has to come up to the 2-inch shower code. Newer builds off North Creek Parkway bring fewer of those, but tighter HOA rules. Either way, we handle permit coordination with the local building department, so you never chase the city yourself. We work on primary baths, guest baths, and condos, with some limits by building. When the job runs past the shower to the whole room, our bathroom remodel service covers the rest.

We proudly serve homeowners in:

What a Shower Remodel in Bothell Actually Involves

The tile is what you notice. The waterproofing is what keeps the shower sound for decades instead of failing in a few years. Most shower failures we fix are not tile problems at all. They start as water that slipped behind a poorly sealed pan years ago and rotted the framing. A real shower remodel is built in layers, and the order matters as much as the materials.

What the build includes

  • Full demo and haul-away, down to the studs
  • Plumbing rough-in and valve replacement for your new layout
  • Framing changes to expand the footprint or square up old walls
  • A fully bonded waterproof membrane, seams and corners included
  • Custom tile, flexible mortar, and a mud-set or bonded pan
  • Glass fabrication and install, templated to the walls
  • Ventilation, wall repair, and paint to finish

Skip or rush any one of these and the shower still looks fine on day one. The trouble shows up later, which is why the parts you cannot see are the ones we will not shortcut.

Shower Remodel Cost in Bothell, WA

Most projects fall into two tiers. A straightforward custom build runs $8,000 to $15,000. A larger or high-end shower with premium glass, stone, and upgraded fixtures runs $15,000 to $25,000. Two showers of the same size can take very different labor once the walls are open.

A few things move the number more than people expect:

  • Tile choice. Large-format porcelain needs a flat wall and a leveling system. Natural stone costs more to buy and to seal.
  • Glass. A framed door is cheap. A frameless glass shower needs heavy hardware and templating after the tile is set.
  • Plumbing moves. Keeping the drain and valve in place holds cost down. Moving them means opening the subfloor or wall.
  • What demo uncovers. In older Bothell homes we often find rot, corroded pipe, or out-of-square framing. We price these before we rebuild.

Where the budget goes matters as much as its size. Spend on what is buried and costly to redo: waterproofing, brass valves, and skilled tile setting. Save on field tile, where high-grade porcelain looks premium and holds up without the sealing stone needs. Love a splurge tile? Use it in a niche or one accent band, not the whole shower. Financing is available if you would rather spread the cost out.

Materials and Waterproofing We Trust

Waterproofing is the whole game in a climate this damp. The older method, cement board with a felt liner, leans on tile and grout to shed water and traps whatever gets past. We build differently. Bonded membrane systems like Schluter-KERDI and Wedi keep the surface behind the tile continuous, so water is sent to the drain instead of into the framing.

The rest of the build matches that standard. Tile is porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone, set with flexible thin-set so it moves with the house. A shower niche installation is tiled into the wall and waterproofed as part of the shell, not screwed on after.

A linear drain shower slopes the floor one way, which allows larger tile and fewer grout lines. Valves are solid-brass bodies from Delta, Moen, and Kohler, so the part sealed in the wall is the one least likely to fail.

Washington Code and PNW Moisture Rules

Building a shower remodel in Bothell means building to Washington code, which is stricter than the federal baseline in a few ways worth knowing.

  • Water use. Washington caps showerheads at 1.8 gallons per minute, below the 2.5 the federal standard allows. Good aerated heads still feel strong, and we help you pick one.
  • Ventilation. Code requires at least a 50 CFM exhaust fan ducted straight outside, never into an attic or soffit. In this climate we usually suggest a quiet, humidity-sensing fan.
  • Waterproofing. Continuous waterproof barriers are required behind every wet wall, past the shower opening. Our membrane systems clear that with room to spare.

None of this is red tape for its own sake. In the Puget Sound climate, a shower that cannot dry out is a shower that grows mold, and the code exists because so many older builds did exactly that.

Your Warranty and What Comes After

Every shower remodel in Bothell we finish comes with a 5-year workmanship warranty, plus separate coverage on the waterproofing and on the glass and hardware. If something needs a look after we leave, a question, a re-grout, or a repair, reach out and we will come back. It is the same communication-first remodeling process we run on every job.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently Asked Questions About Shower Remodel in Bothell

How much does a shower remodel cost in Bothell?
Plus Icon

Most custom builds run $8,000 to $15,000, and larger or high-end showers run $15,000 to $25,000. Tile choice, glass style, and whether plumbing moves drive the range. We price any hidden pipe or framing issues before we build. Financing is available.

How long does a shower remodel take?
Plus Icon

Most run about one to two weeks, start to finish. Custom tile takes a little longer than a simple build because of the waterproofing and curing time. You get a clear schedule up front, so you know exactly when the shower is out of use.

Do you handle permits and inspections?
Plus Icon

Yes. We manage the full permit process with the local building department and coordinate every required inspection. You never deal with the city yourself. This is built into how we run the job from day one.

What waterproofing system do you use?
Plus Icon

We use bonded membrane systems like Schluter-KERDI and Wedi. They keep moisture off the framing far better than old cement board, which matters in the damp Puget Sound air. In our experience, poor waterproofing is the most common reason showers fail early, so we never cut that corner.

Can you build a curbless or accessible shower?
Plus Icon

Usually, yes. It depends on your subfloor, which we check at the consultation. Curbless entry, grab-bar blocking, and a built-in bench are some of our most-requested features for aging-in-place bathrooms here in Bothell.

What if this is our only shower?
Plus Icon

We plan around it. We keep the rest of your home's plumbing working the whole time, give you the exact days water is off, and stay on your job once demo starts instead of splitting the crew across sites.

What Washington code applies to a shower?
Plus Icon

Showerheads cap at 1.8 gallons per minute, bathrooms need at least a 50 CFM fan vented outside, and continuous waterproofing is required behind all wet walls. We build to each of these as a baseline, then usually go past them. For a whole-room project, see our bathroom remodel service.

Do you offer financing?
Plus Icon

Yes. We offer financing so you can spread out the cost rather than pay it all upfront. Ask about current options when we put your estimate together.
