How To Successfully DIY A Walk-In Shower

If your dream bathroom includes a walk-in shower, then it’s time to check this DIY project off your renovations checklist. Though it may sound like quite the endeavor, with the right tools, vision, and some professional support, you can successfully DIY this home improvement project. Keep reading for tips on how to build a walk-in shower yourself.

1.Grab some inspiration.

You already know your dream bathroom includes a walk-in shower, but what else? Browse Pinterest or your favorote home magazines to settle on what styles you like. Take note of the overarching themes (is the bathroom you love traditional or modern?) and colors (do you like light and bright neutrals or vibrant hues?). Pay attention to what other elements stand out to you. Is it the wood-look tile flooring? Is it the white Shaker style bathroom vanity? Once you know what your goal is, it will be easier to make decisions along the way.

2. Look into prefab shower kits.

Depending on your DIY skill level, your best bet in building a walk-in shower is probably going to be a prefab shower kit. Since these kits come in standard sizes, you’ll want to take these measurements into account when planning your build. A good rule of thumb is that you should leave 32 inches between your shower and other fixtures in the room. When measuring out your space, also keep in mind that your shower door will likely hinge outward. You definitely don’t want accessibility to be an issue with your new shower.

3. Sort out your plumbing.

Before starting any home improvement project, you need to check for any plumbing or electrical issues. In this case, your plumbing pipes may be standing in the way of your dream bathroom. If building a walk-in shower might require any plumbing work, you’ll want to consult a professional to estimate the costs of changes beforehand.

4. Create a concrete plan.

Now is not the time to still be working off your vision board. Before executing any item on your home renovations checklist, you need a plan. From the exact layout to what backsplash tile you want to use, every detail should be finalized before lifting a finger. At this stage you shouldn’t be thinking “I want a rainfall shower head” — you should know exactly which model you’re buying.

5. Calculate your costs.

When DIY-ing a walk-in shower, you need to know how to tile a bathroom and what type of wall tile you want to use. Figure out the cost of everything you will need including materials, tools, tile, and fixtures. It’s important to have a budget in mind to help drive decisions, so that you don’t end up spending more than you want. With any DIY project, you have to wear multiple hats, but it’s worth it when you complete the project yourself and do so at a much more affordable price.

6. Get any necessary permits.

Once you know exactly what your project will entail, you’ll need to check with your HOA and/or local building department to see if any permits are required. Oftentimes, small projects do not require permits, but it is always better to be safe than sorry.
