Repair cracked, crumbling, leaning or leaking shower curbs and thresholds, restoring slope and a clean glass seal.
The curb is the little wall at the front of many showers, and it takes more abuse than almost any other part. People step over it, lean on it and drag shower doors across it. Curbs crack, tile comes loose, the top surface loses its slope so water pools and the corners where curb meets wall let water in. Because the curb holds the glass or the shower door, a failing curb can also cause leaks and misaligned doors. In Nashville, curb repairs are often straightforward when caught early. If water has gotten inside the curb, a more thorough rebuild is the honest answer.
We check the curb for cracks, hollow tile and moisture, and test the slope of the top surface. Loose tile is removed, the curb structure is repaired and the waterproofing is restored. We rebuild the top with a slight slope toward the shower so water drains in, set new tile or stone and finish with grout and flexible caulk at the transitions. If a glass door attaches to the curb, we coordinate adjustment or reinstallation. When damage is extensive, we recommend rebuilding the curb and part of the pan.
The curb top slopes toward the shower so water does not sit on it or run under the door.
A cracked curb may let water into the core, and we restore waterproofing before retiling.
Tile or stone on the curb is matched to the shower for a clean look.
We adjust or reinstall the glass door so it seals correctly against the repaired curb.
