Aging Demographic Info, Risks/Costs
Bathrooms present a unique risk to the concentration of hard porcelain surfaces, tile floors and obstacles requiring navigation. Most falls resulting in injuries in the bathroom take place in and around slippery old bathtubs with high sides and toilets that are too low for safe usage. The solution to mitigate this problem is to make your bathroom more user friendly. Taller toilets can be installed with adjacent grab bars to aide in sitting and standing during usage. Old bathtubs that require stepping in and out can be replaced with low threshold showers with flat floors that grip the foot even when wet. Grab bars can also be installed to aid showering and even a sleek, attractive looking bench. Needless to say we at Pipe Monster Plumbing are passionate about this issue. For good reason! The health, independence, and safety of our older customers is always top priority. This passion is evident in our tub and shower replacement service.

What to expect when Pipe Monster Plumbing installs your new Sterling shower.
Step 1: (Crossing T's and dotting i's)
- We work with you to find the perfect design for your unique needs.
- We measure the space of the existing tub/shower in your bathroom to ensure perfect fit.
- We present you with a variety of options and answer any questions regarding the quote or process.
Step 2: (Lets get this party started!)
- After you have made your selection we schedule the service. The installation of the unit typically takes 2 days and requires us to shut off your water for a brief period of time.
Step 3: (Day 1, out with the old...)
- Upon arrival, we will prepare the workspace and path in and out of your home by placing protective drop clothes and plastic barriers.
- We will then remove the existing tub/shower and the surround, and dispose of it for you.
Step 4: (...In with the new!)
- We will then prep the plumbing and exposed floor and wall structure for a smooth installation. (This is when we will be shutting off your water. Don't worry! We will give you a heads up!).
- A mortar mix will be used to ensure the new shower base is stable and level.
- The new Sterling shower base will be installed, along with the wall panels and shower valve trim.If grab bars have been selected they typically will also be installed at this time.
- We will then thoroughly clean the workspace before departing.
Step 5: (Day 2,the finishing touches)
- We will begin by again placing protective drop cloths.
- We will then cut and place trim around the unit if specified in step 1.
- This is also the stage when shower doors will be installed if requested.
- Any necessary caulking or water sealing will be done at this time.
- Finally we will inspect all aspects of the installation, and answer any questions you may have regarding your new shower!
- Again we will clean the work area before departure. It's really that simple! One more thing...If drywall repair is preferred or required there maybe a few day waiting period, but have no fear! You can still use your shower before the drywall is repaired.
