Walk-in Shower FAQs
Do I need a permit to replace my walk-in shower in Baltimore?
Yes, trade permits for plumbing and electrical work are always required for residential bathrooms in Baltimore, even if a building permit is not required for cosmetic work. These permits must be applied for by a licensed plumber and electrician through the Department of Permits, Approvals and Inspections.
How much does a walk-in shower replacement cost locally?
In Baltimore, a walk-in shower installation generally costs between $10,000 and $25,000
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are fully licensed and insured. TradeMark Construction is registered with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC 95803) and carries $2 million in liability insurance to protect your property. We also hold our own Master Plumbing License, which simplifies complex kitchen and Bathroom projects and ensures quality installations.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we offer financing through two trusted lenders. Let your estimator know during your consultation and we’ll help you get started.
How long will the shower installation process take?
The timeline depends heavily on the scope of the project. A standard tub-to-shower conversion typically takes three to five days, while a custom tile shower with features like a bench or niche will take a week or more due to the necessary cure times for waterproofing and tile setting.
Should I expect hidden costs once demolition begins?
Shower conversions frequently require contractors to strip walls down to the studs to properly install waterproofing systems. This demolition phase can reveal hidden plumbing issues or hidden rot that will increase costs, so homeowners should ensure they have a contingency budget.
What materials offer the best durability and value?
Contractors offer various options, including acrylic, fiberglass, composite panels, and custom tile. Prefabricated inserts are budget-friendly and simple to install, whereas custom tile and stone offer limitless layout options but feature more complex and expensive installations.
How will the contractor manage dust, debris, and disposal?
Demolishing old tile or removing cast-iron tubs requires heavy hauling. Homeowners should confirm that the contractor’s daily plan includes dust barriers, floor runners, and vent covers, and verify whether disposal fees are included in the initial estimate.
What type of warranties cover the new shower?
Product warranties from the manufacturer can span from ten years to a lifetime. It is important to confirm whether the contractor covers the installation labor separately, how long that labor warranty lasts, and if post-installation service visits are provided.
