Shower Floor Re-tile in Middletown, CT
Loose tile, musty grout, slow drains — a new shower floor in days, walls untouched.
A failing shower floor announces itself — hollow tiles, grout that never dries, a musty smell, water ponding away from the drain. Middletown Shower & Pan does the floor-only fix across Middletown: surgical removal at the wall line, substrate rebuilt right, fresh waterproofing, and new tile sloped to drain. Your walls, glass and fixtures stay. The price stays in the low thousands. The shower gets another twenty years.
Built for Middletown bathrooms
Downtown Victorians hide clawfoot-era plumbing walls behind bad 70s tile; the student rentals near Wesleyan burn through surrounds and caulk yearly. Shower floors take the worst beating in the county's hardest-used tubs. Middletown rental turnover drives year-round surround and shower-floor work — durable porcelain, dark grout, sealed twice. Across the North End, Washington Street, the Wesleyan area, Westfield, the pattern holds: walls outlive floors two-to-one. We fix the floor — and prove the pan beneath it.
