Knowing what to expect makes any home project less stressful. Here’s how a typical bath or shower remodel works with JSM Bath Solutions, from your first call to your first shower, plus a few simple ways to prepare.
Step 1: Reach Out
Call us at (614) 881-5128 between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM, or send a request through our contact page. We’ll ask a few quick questions about your bathroom and schedule a time to visit.
Step 2: Free In-Home Consultation
We come to your home to measure the space and see your existing tub or shower in person. We’ll talk about how you use the bathroom, review material and design options, and answer your questions. Then we prepare a detailed written estimate based on your project.
Cost depends on the size and layout of your bathroom, the materials and options you select, and whether plumbing needs to be relocated. That’s why we measure in person rather than quoting a number over the phone.
Step 3: Choose Your Options
When you’re ready to move forward, you’ll finalize your selections, such as:
- Wall panel pattern and color
- Bathtub or shower base style
- Shower door, curtain rod or screen
- Shelving, seating, grab bars and fixtures
We’ll then schedule your installation and review the expected timeline with you.
Step 4: Installation
Most bath and shower remodeling projects are completed in approximately two days, depending on the scope of work, your bathroom’s layout and the selections you make. Projects involving plumbing changes or larger layout modifications may take longer. A typical installation includes:
- Protecting your floors and the path to the bathroom.
- Removing the existing tub or shower and surround.
- Inspecting the framing and subfloor, and talking with you about anything we find before we continue.
- Installing the new bathtub or shower base and coordinating wall panels.
- Sealing the joints and installing fixtures and accessories.
Step 5: Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
When the work is done, we clean up and haul away the old materials. Then we walk through the finished bathroom with you, show you how to care for your new acrylic surfaces and make sure you’re happy with the result.
How to Prepare for Your Remodel
- Clear out the bathroom. Remove toiletries, towels, rugs and anything stored near the work area.
- Plan for another bathroom. If this is your only shower, plan ahead for the days it’s out of use.
- Make a clear path. Move fragile items and furniture along the route from the door to the bathroom.
- Think about pets. Keep pets in a separate room while our crew is working.
- Parking. Let us know the best place for our crew to park.
Caring for Your New Bath or Shower
Acrylic is easy to maintain. Use a soft cloth or sponge with a non-abrasive cleaner, and avoid scouring pads or harsh abrasives that could dull the finish. A quick wipe or squeegee after showering helps keep hard-water spots from building up.
