How Your Surround Gets Rebuilt
Six steps, two to three days, one crew that cleans up after itself.
Here is exactly what happens between our first visit and your first shower. No mystery days, no disappearing crew, no 'we found something' without photos and a price before we touch it. This is the process behind every Wethersfield surround we sign.
- Free measure & fixed quote. We measure, check the tub and valves, and price in writing.
- Protect & tear out. Floors and fixtures covered; old surround stripped to studs, hauled away.
- Inspect & waterproof. Studs treated if needed; cement board, membrane, sealed corners — photographed.
- Set tile. Layout agreed with you first; flat walls, plumb corners, even joints.
- Grout, seal & caulk. Grout, penetrating sealer, and fresh silicone at every change of plane.
- Walkthrough. We inspect with you, punch-list on the spot, and leave care instructions.
Wethersfield notes
In Wethersfield steps 2–3 usually take day one and steps 4–5 take days two and three: Old Wethersfield owners want the 1920s tile saved, not smashed — regrout-first is the pitch that wins the historic streets. You can shower again 24 hours after grout — we will tell you the exact hour.
