The story

What we did.

Tyler’s shower had been built by someone who didn’t really know what they were doing. It was an all-in-one unit squeezed into a cramped space under a lowered ceiling, and it had started to leak.

Behind it, things were worse. The framing was missing its blocking under the plywood subfloor, the plumbing ran in odd configurations, and the shutoff valves were buried in the wall. We redid the plumbing, fixed the framing and blocking, replaced the subfloor and added a second layer of plywood on top. We also took out the lowered ceiling over the shower and raised it back up.

The new shower is Taj Mahal porcelain, with a storage ledge across the back wall and an envelope-cut Chianca Di Ostuni floor that slopes evenly to the drain. Every ledge is capped in a cream quartz chosen to tie the Taj Mahal and the Chianca together.

New recessed lights in the raised ceiling bounce off the slab and the quartz ledge, so the whole shower glows. A modern matte black Delta system and frameless sliding glass doors finish it, all on a Schluter waterproofing system, with new drywall around it. The whole job took five days.

The homeowner

In their own words.

★★★★★

Just want to take a moment to HIGHLY recommend swish to everyone, if your thinking about getting a shower or bathroom done here's some key points you can look forward to. 1.extremly friendly and helpful to assist in helping you pick and customize your project as you need. 2.I had gotten 3 quotes prior to calling Anthony at swish 2 from big box stores and 1 from re-bath, and I promise you all 3 were WAY higher price for what I believe to be lesser quality materials. Swish has options for all price ranges from budget friendly options to the works! 3.their attention to detail as an example, I had floor boards that werent in the greatest of shape and most likely anyone else would have just gone over them and made it someone else's and myself headaches down the line, but they brought it to my attention to resolve it now so later there is no issues ! 4.they are extremely clean and courteous and quiet! To the point I almost at times forgot they were here working while I went about my work and day to day thing to handle.! Agian ultimately my point is, before just saying yes to a big box store a "big name" know with swish your going to be in even better hands and far better materials and pricing give them a call!!!
