Tub & Shower Surround Replacement in Minneapolis, MN

From old tile and bare studs to a clean, new tub and shower. Follow this bathroom remodel from demolition to finish.

Project Overview

This Minneapolis bathroom had an older tiled tub wall that was ready to be replaced. Midwest Bath & Shower stripped the alcove to the studs, checked and repaired what was behind the walls, and rebuilt it with a new tub and shower surround that is quick to clean and built to last.

What we did

  • Removal of old tile, adhesive and backing board
  • Framing, insulation and subfloor inspection and repair
  • New tub and shower surround with corner shelving
  • New shower head and fixtures
  • Tile and vinyl floor installation
  • Glass shower enclosures

Every installation is backed by our 15-Year Installation Warranty. Looking for something similar? See our bathroom remodeling services in Minneapolis.

Step 1: Demolition and Prep

The old tiled tub walls came out down to the studs. Removing the tile, adhesive and backing lets us inspect the framing, insulation and subfloor for water damage and fix it before anything new goes in.

Step 2: New Tub and Shower Surround

Once the framing was sound, we installed a clean white tub and shower surround with built-in corner shelves and a new shower head. The surface is easy to wipe down, has far fewer grout lines to stain than tile, and is covered by our 15-Year Installation Warranty.

Step 3: Flooring and Finishing Touches

A remodel is only as good as the floor beneath it. We install and repair tile and vinyl flooring so the whole bathroom feels new, not just the shower.
