Shower Pan Installation Services in Orlando, Florida
Shower pan installation is the foundational element of any functional bathroom renovation, whether you're updating a 1970s home in Conway or building a modern primary bath in Windermere. A properly installed shower pan prevents water intrusion into subfloors and wall cavities, protecting your home's structural integrity for 15-25 years. Bill Morgan inc has installed hundreds of shower pans across Orlando neighborhoods from downtown to the Kissimmee area, using premium materials like Schluter Kerdi, Wedi boards, and Mapei waterproofing systems. We ensure 2% slope toward drain, full perimeter sealing, and code-compliant installation every time.
Our shower pan installation process begins with precise substrate assessment and removal of old pan material, followed by framing inspection and any necessary repairs to ensure a level base. We then install waterproofing membranes, set the new pan with appropriate slope toward the drain (typically a 1/8-inch per foot decline), and apply secondary waterproofing at all seams and penetrations. Within 24-48 hours, the pan is ready for tile installation or direct fixture attachment, depending on your bathroom design choice. This methodical approach has made us the trusted choice for homeowners in Maitland, Lake Mary, Ocoee, and Winter Garden.

Our Shower Pan Installation Process
Inspection and Demolition
We assess your current bathroom layout, take measurements, and safely remove the existing shower pan within 2-4 hours. Any damaged subfloor is noted and repaired before waterproofing begins.
Substrate Preparation
The base is leveled, inspected for proper framing, and primed for waterproofing. This 4-6 hour phase ensures your new pan will drain correctly and last 20+ years.
Waterproofing Installation
We apply industry-standard membranes like Schluter Kerdi or Wedi boards with sealed seams, completed in 6-8 hours. All penetrations and edges receive secondary waterproofing compound.
Pan Setting and Slope
The new shower pan is set with exact 2% slope toward the drain, ensuring water flows away from walls. This critical step takes 4-6 hours and requires 24-48 hour curing before tile installation.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
We inspect all seams, test slope with water, and perform final cleanup. Your shower pan is ready for tile or direct finish work within 48 hours of installation start.
