Walk-In Shower Installation — Infinity Kitchen & Bath

Walk-In Showers Prescott, AZ

A Shower Built Around the Way You Live

Your shower should feel like the best part of your morning — not an afterthought from a 1990s builder-grade bathroom. At Infinity Kitchen and Bath, we design and install custom walk-in showers in Prescott that are tailored to your space, your style, and your daily routine. Whether you want a dramatic floor-to-ceiling frameless glass enclosure, a sleek curbless barrier-free shower you can step right into, or a richly tiled custom showpiece, we build it from the ground up with the same attention to waterproofing, layout, and finish quality on every single project.

Walk-in showers have become the centerpiece of modern bathroom remodeling in Prescott — and for good reason. They open up a space visually, eliminate the tripping hazard of a curb, make cleaning dramatically easier, and add genuine long-term value to your home. As part of our complete bathroom remodeling service, a walk-in shower can anchor an entire bathroom transformation, giving the room a fresh architectural identity without requiring a full gut job.

Every walk-in shower we install starts with a free in-home design consultation. We measure the space, talk through your wish list, discuss practical considerations like water pressure, drain placement, and structural walls — and then we build you a project plan. No guessing, no surprises, and no hidden costs waiting to surface during construction. Infinity Kitchen and Bath has been serving Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Chino Valley since 2013, and every project comes backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Shower Styles

Walk-In Shower Styles We Build in Prescott

Every bathroom is different, and so is every homeowner. We offer several walk-in shower configurations to fit your floor plan, your aesthetic, and your budget.

Frameless Glass Enclosures

Heavy-gauge tempered glass panels with minimal hardware create an open, spa-like look that makes any bathroom feel larger and more luxurious. We work with several glass thicknesses and hardware finishes — brushed nickel, matte black, and polished chrome — so the enclosure complements your existing fixtures and tile rather than competing with them.

Curbless / Barrier-Free Showers

A curbless shower has no threshold to step over — the floor transitions seamlessly from the bathroom into the shower with a precisely sloped mud-bed drain system. This design is ideal for aging-in-place accessibility, for households with children, or simply for a clean modern aesthetic that eliminates the visual interruption of a curb.

Neo-Angle & Corner Showers

Corner-entry and neo-angle walk-in showers are an excellent solution for smaller bathrooms where a standard rectangular enclosure would feel cramped or awkward. A neo-angle design tucks into a corner efficiently while still delivering a full, comfortable shower experience, and the angled glass panels add a dynamic architectural element to the room.

What's Included

What's Included in Your Walk-In Shower Build

A walk-in shower done right is not just a glass door and some tile. There's a full system behind the finished surface — waterproofing layers, structural mud beds, precision drainage slopes, sealed substrates — and skipping any of those steps is how showers leak, crack, and fail within a few years. At Infinity Kitchen and Bath, every walk-in shower we install is built to the full system specification, not cut short to hit a price point. Here's what's included in every project:

✓Custom shower pan or mud-bed base — sloped correctly to the drain, with no low spots that let water pool and degrade the substrate over time.
✓Large-format tile walls — from 12×24 up to 24×48 porcelain and natural stone, set plumb and level with consistent grout joints throughout.
✓Frameless or semi-frameless glass door — heavy-duty tempered glass, properly plumbed and sealed, with your choice of hardware finish.
✓Rainfall and handheld showerheads — dual-function shower systems are standard on most builds; we also wire in thermostatic valve systems on request.
✓Built-in bench or recessed niche — tiled-in bench seating and shampoo niches are framed and waterproofed as part of the shower structure, not added as afterthoughts.
✓Waterproofing membrane system — Schluter Kerdi or RedGard membrane applied behind tile walls and under the floor pan for a fully sealed, moisture-proof shower envelope.
✓Proper slope and drainage engineering — every floor is sloped to specification so water drains fully with no standing water, reducing mold risk and extending the life of the installation.
✓Epoxy grout or caulk-free sealing options — we offer stain-resistant epoxy grout and grout-free panel systems for homeowners who want a lower-maintenance finished surface.

Why Waterproofing Matters More Than Tile

In Prescott's climate, a shower that isn't properly waterproofed will fail — it's a matter of when, not if. Water finds its way through grout joints and caulk lines, and once it reaches the substrate it causes dry rot, mold, and structural damage that can cost far more to remediate than the original remodel.

We use a redundant waterproofing approach: cement board or Schluter board substrate, full membrane application at seams and corners, a properly sloped mortar bed, and seam-sealed glass installation. The tile is the beautiful part. The membrane is what makes it last.

Our Process

How We Build Your Walk-In Shower

From the first phone call to the final walkthrough, every Infinity Kitchen and Bath shower project follows a clear, predictable process designed to keep you informed and on schedule.

Free In-Home Design Consultation

Every walk-in shower project begins with a free, no-obligation in-home consultation. One of our designers visits your bathroom, takes precise measurements, photographs the space, and discusses your goals in detail. We want to understand how you use your shower, what frustrates you about the current setup, whether you need accessibility features like a curbless entry or grab bars, and what your aesthetic vision looks like. This is not a sales call — it's a design conversation, and there is never any pressure.

After the visit, our team produces a CAD rendering of your proposed walk-in shower. You'll see the tile layout, glass configuration, niche and bench placement, and fixture locations rendered in detail before any demolition begins. This step prevents the costly mid-project changes that derail timelines and budgets on projects that skip it. Most consultations take about 60 to 90 minutes and are completely free of charge.

Material & Glass Selection

Once the design is approved, we move into material selection. Because Infinity Kitchen and Bath purchases materials factory-direct, you'll have access to tile, glass systems, fixtures, and hardware at pricing significantly below standard retail. Our showroom has physical samples of tile sizes and finishes, glass panel configurations, hardware styles, and niche trim profiles — so you're selecting from real materials you can see and touch, not just photos on a tablet.

We guide you through the practical tradeoffs: which tile formats minimize grout joints and cleaning effort, which glass thicknesses are most durable, which shower valve systems offer the best long-term reliability. All materials are ordered, verified, and staged before your project start date — there are no mid-project delays waiting on backordered tile that push your schedule back by weeks.

Demo & Waterproofing

Demolition is handled carefully and professionally. Our crew protects your home with floor covering through all traffic areas, seals the bathroom doorway to contain dust, and disconnects plumbing before removing any fixtures. We haul away all demolition debris as part of the project scope — your home should look cleaner at the end of each workday than it did at the start.

After demo, the most critical phase of the project begins: waterproofing. We install Schluter Kerdi or RedGard membrane across all wall surfaces inside the shower envelope, with special attention to seams, inside corners, and the pan-to-wall transition — the most common failure points on improperly built showers. The mortar bed floor is floated to the correct slope toward the drain. Every Prescott home we work in gets inspected behind walls and under the floor for pre-existing moisture damage before we close anything up, and if we find an issue, we address it transparently before proceeding.

Tile, Glass & Fixture Installation

With the waterproofing complete and inspected, tiling begins. Large-format tile requires a flat, even substrate — we verify this with a straightedge before setting a single tile. Layout lines are snapped to keep joints consistent, patterns centered, and cuts symmetrical. Niches and bench surfaces are tiled to the same standard as the walls, with proper back-slope on horizontal surfaces so water doesn't pool.

Once tile and grout are cured, frameless glass panels are measured, templated, and installed. Glass installation is a precision process — panels are set plumb, hardware is torqued to spec, and every seal is tested before the project is considered complete. Showerheads, valves, and accessories are then installed and tested for function and pressure. We don't walk away until everything works exactly as it should.

Final Walkthrough & Workmanship Warranty

Before we call any project complete, we conduct a thorough punch-list walkthrough with you. You inspect every surface, every joint, every door swing and showerhead setting. If there's anything that doesn't meet your expectations — even something minor — we address it before we close out the project. The bathroom gets a full cleanup: grout haze removed, glass polished, hardware wiped down.

Every walk-in shower we install is backed by our workmanship guarantee. If something we built or installed fails due to workmanship within the warranty period, we come back and make it right at no charge. We also provide you with care and maintenance guidance specific to your tile and glass selection so your new shower stays looking its best for years to come. This is how a family-owned business in Prescott earns long-term relationships and referrals.

Common Questions

Walk-In Shower FAQ

How long does walk-in shower installation take?

Most walk-in shower installations in Prescott take between five and ten business days from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on the size of the shower, the complexity of the tile work, and whether any plumbing relocation is required. Frameless glass typically has a lead time of one to two weeks after the shower is tiled and cured, since panels are templated and fabricated to exact field measurements. We give you a project-specific timeline during your free consultation so there are no surprises.

Do I need a permit for a walk-in shower in Prescott?

In the City of Prescott and surrounding jurisdictions, a permit is generally required when plumbing is relocated — for example, when converting a tub footprint to a new shower drain location or moving supply lines. If you're replacing an existing shower in place with no plumbing changes, a permit is typically not required. Our team handles permit applications as part of the project scope on permitted work; you never have to navigate the city office yourself. We're fully licensed under AZ ROC #339999, so pulling permits is a standard part of how we operate.

What's the difference between a curbless shower and a standard walk-in?

A standard walk-in shower has a low curb or threshold — typically two to four inches high — at the entry point. The curb contains water and is simple to construct because the shower floor is elevated above the bathroom floor. A curbless or barrier-free shower has no threshold at all: you step directly from the bathroom floor into the shower without stepping up or over anything. Curbless showers require a more complex installation because the shower floor must be precisely sloped to a linear or point drain, and the surrounding bathroom floor must transition cleanly. They're ideal for aging-in-place accessibility and for a seamless modern aesthetic, and they're one of our most requested shower styles in Prescott.

Can you add a walk-in shower to a small bathroom?

Yes — in fact, replacing a bathtub with a walk-in shower is one of the most effective ways to make a small bathroom feel significantly larger. A shower of 36 by 36 inches is functional as a minimum, but 36 by 48 or 42 by 42 inches feels much more comfortable for daily use. In very tight spaces, a neo-angle or corner-entry configuration can maximize usable shower area while minimizing the footprint. We'll look at your specific layout during the consultation and show you the options that work within your existing floor plan.

What tile sizes work best for walk-in showers?

Larger tile formats — 12×24, 18×36, and 24×48 — are popular in walk-in showers because fewer grout joints create a cleaner look and reduce maintenance. However, floor tile must be 4×4 or smaller (or use mosaic) to achieve the required drain slope without lippage between tiles. A common approach is large-format porcelain on the walls, with 2×2 or 3×3 mosaic on the floor for grip and proper slope. We'll show you physical samples of the combinations that work best for your design direction and give you honest guidance on what's practical versus what's purely aesthetic.
