Demolishing a shower stall may sound arduous, but in reality, it is quite a simple task to perform on your own.
When I moved into my new home, I was instantly unhappy with the existing shower stall. So, I decided to demolish it and make a new one on my own.
If you are thinking along the same lines, I am here to help you. Read on to know how to demo a shower stall easily.
Demolishing a shower stall takes just a few simple steps. However, ensure that you have the right tools and safety gear before you begin. Here is all you need to know about it.
The first thing you need to do is to carefully plan the steps and prepare your bathroom. Planning for waste removal is imperative; however, I recommend hiring a dumpster, as most local authorities will make you wait a few weeks before collecting the waste.
Since shower demolition can be messy, prepare the area outside the bathroom and the countertops with floor covers. Once you have all the supplies required for the demo, turn off the water supply from the main valve.
Now, wear all your protective gear and start removing the shower frames and door. Depending on the type of shower door you have (sliding or hinged), follow the necessary steps to carefully remove it and place it aside.
Next, remove the door frames and take everything to the dumpster so that you have adequate working room for the next steps.
Remove all the fixtures from the shower carefully. While towel racks and soap stands are easier to remove, the water controls and showerheads can be more complex. You may even opt for professional help at this stage.
The next part may be the most challenging - removing all the shower walls. The steps you need to follow will vary depending on the kind of walls you have, such as fiberglass or tile.
Now comes the last step of your shower demolition - removing the floor. Again, the steps will vary depending on whether you have fiberglass or tile floors. And once you are done with this step, pat yourself on the back, as the shower stall demo job is finally complete!
Ensure that you get rid of all the waste and debris carefully. I also recommend calling a professional cleaning service once you are done, as removing shower stalls can be quite messy.
That’s all I had for today!
In case these steps seem too difficult, you can always call a professional to get it done expertly. And in that case, do some research and compare the services to ensure that you get cost-effective deals and completely trained professionals.
