The shower is the hardest-working fixture in the house. Build it like it.

An old fiberglass tub-and-surround combo does one thing: hold water. It doesn't drain right. The caulk line grows mildew no matter how often you scrub it, because East Tennessee humidity sees to that, and climbing over the wall gets less fun every year. A properly built walk-in shower replaces all of that with a glass enclosure, tile that's actually waterproofed behind the wall, and a floor pitched to drain. Put a freestanding tub next to it and the same room turns into somewhere you'd choose to spend an evening.

The Knoxville crew on the job builds walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, and spa-inspired features as a core part of their bathroom remodeling work. They're licensed, bonded, and insured. That is what you want standing behind the waterproofing layer you'll never see again once the tile goes on.

What the crew handles

  • Walk-in showers. Curb or low-threshold entries, glass panels and doors, tiled walls and pans, rainfall and handheld heads.
  • Freestanding tubs. Soaker tubs with floor-mounted or wall-mounted fillers, placed so the room still flows.
  • Spa-inspired features. Niches, benches, lighting, and high-end fixtures and finishes. The details that make the room feel deliberate.
  • Tile selections. Walls, pans, and floors chosen to suit your taste and the house.

Good questions

What do Knoxville homeowners ask most?

How much does a walk-in shower cost in Knoxville?
National data puts an installed prefab walk-in shower at roughly $1,000 to $8,000 and a custom tiled walk-in shower at $3,500 to $15,000 (HomeGuide, 2026). Glass, tile choice, and plumbing changes are the big variables. The crew prices your actual bathroom on-site after the phone estimate.
Can a walk-in shower and a freestanding tub fit in the same bathroom?
Often, yes. It depends on the room's footprint. Smart layout planning is part of what the crew does, and they'll tell you when the crew is on-site whether both fit comfortably or whether the room is better with one done well.
Is a walk-in shower a good idea for aging in place?
Yes. A low-threshold walk-in shower is one of the most common accessibility improvements the crew builds. See our accessibility and aging-in-place page for the full picture.
Who builds the walk-in shower itself?
A Knoxville-area remodeling crew that is licensed, bonded, and insured. Walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, and spa-inspired features are a core part of their bathroom remodeling work rather than an occasional side job.
Do you replace old tubs and surrounds?
Yes. That runs from swapping a worn tub for a freestanding soaker to tearing out a fiberglass tub-and-surround combo and rebuilding the whole wet area as a tiled walk-in shower. Which one makes sense depends on how your household uses the room, and the crew walks that through with you.
How do I get a price for a walk-in shower?
Call (865) 269-6735 and describe the bathroom. You get a free estimate over the phone; the crew then looks at the space on-site and confirms the number before anything is scheduled. No obligation attached to the visit.
How long does a walk-in shower installation take?
It depends on whether the unit is prefab or a tiled build, and on whether the drain or the walls move. A tiled shower has demo, waterproofing, tile, grout, and cure time in it, and each of those has to finish before the next starts. You get a realistic sequence from the crew on-site, after the phone estimate.
Is a low-threshold shower possible in any bathroom?
Not automatically. It depends on the floor structure and where the drain sits, because lowering the entry usually means changing how the pan drains. It is one of the first things the crew looks at when accessibility is the reason for the project, and you get a straight answer rather than a maybe.
What goes behind the tile to keep water out?
The waterproofing layer, and it is the part of the job you never see again once the tile is on. Tile is a system: substrate, waterproofing, layout, then tile, in that order. East Tennessee humidity works on a shower year-round, so a wet area that was never properly waterproofed shows it early no matter how good the tile looks.
Do you install glass panels and shower doors?
Yes. Glass panels and doors are part of what the crew handles on a walk-in shower build, along with curb or low-threshold entries, tiled walls and pans, and rainfall or handheld heads. Glass is also one of the bigger variables in the price, which is worth knowing before you pick a look.
