Shower Floor Installation Services in Orlando, Florida
Shower floor installation is a critical component of any bathroom remodeling project in Central Florida, where humidity and moisture demand durable, properly installed surfaces. Whether you're updating a home in the Dr. Phillips area, Lake Buena Vista, or Kissimmee, a professionally installed shower floor prevents costly water damage, mold, and structural issues. Bill Morgan inc has completed hundreds of shower floor installations across Orlando's neighborhoods-from historic Thornton Park to newer developments in Winter Garden and Ocoee-using industry-standard waterproofing techniques and quality materials rated for Florida's humid climate.
Our shower floor installation process begins with a thorough site assessment and removal of the existing floor if necessary, typically completed within the first 4-6 hours. We then prepare the substrate, apply waterproof membranes, set the slope at 1/4-inch per foot for proper drainage, and install your choice of tile or stone material using premium thinset and grout. Final steps include sealing grout lines, caulking corners, and full cleanup-the entire process typically takes 2-3 days depending on floor size and material complexity. We service all of Central Florida including Orlando neighborhoods, Sanford, Deltona, Mount Dora, and Clermont.

Our Shower Floor Installation Process
Initial Assessment and Site Prep
We inspect your current shower floor, measure dimensions, discuss material options, and provide a detailed estimate. Site prep includes removing existing flooring and debris, typically completed in 4-6 hours for average-sized showers.
Waterproofing and Substrate Preparation
We clean and level the substrate, repair any damage, and apply a full waterproof membrane (liquid or sheet-based) to prevent water intrusion. This critical step takes 8-12 hours including cure time and ensures longevity.
Tile or Stone Installation
We set your chosen material using premium thinset mortar, ensuring proper slope (1/4-inch per foot) and spacing. Installation typically takes 12-18 hours depending on floor size and pattern complexity.
Grouting, Sealing, and Finishing
After thinset cures (24 hours), we apply grout, seal joints, caulk corners with 100% silicone, and perform final cleanup. Project completion usually occurs on day 3, with full cure time recommended before use.
