Replace a cracked, leaking or sagging shower pan or base with a new, properly sloped and supported one.
The shower pan or base is the foundation of the shower, and when it fails, everything above it suffers. A cracked fiberglass base, a flexing acrylic floor, a failed mortar pan or a leak at the drain can let water into the subfloor, where damage grows silently. Replacing the pan is a bigger job than swapping tiles, but it is the right fix when the base itself has failed. In Nashville, many older showers have pans that have outlived their materials. A careful replacement addresses both the visible problem and the hidden damage beneath.
We confirm the pan is the problem with a close inspection and moisture checks, then remove the shower walls as needed and the old base. We repair the subfloor, set a new base on a proper bed or build a new sloped, waterproofed pan, connect the drain and test with water before closing in. Walls are rebuilt with waterproof backing and tile or panels. If only a base is needed in a prefab shower, we can often replace it without disturbing the rest, and we tell you honestly when the walls should be renewed too.
We check moisture and the drain connection to confirm the pan is the cause before tearing anything out.
Wet or soft subfloor is replaced so the new base sits on a solid, dry surface.
We flood-test the new pan so a leak is found while the walls are open, not months later.
We tell you when the base alone is enough and when walls should be renewed to match.

In prefab showers, often yes. In tile showers, the pan is under the tile, so walls usually need rebuilding.
A base-only replacement can take a day or two. A full pan rebuild takes a week or more.
If water has reached it, yes. We show you what we find before repairing.
