Shower Replacement Services in Bloomington, IL
Bloomington’s Trusted Shower Replacement Team
A tile shower can look fine from the doorway and still leak water behind the wall. Grout cracks, caulk pulls away, and, in many Bloomington homes, the original tile has been soaking up our very hard water for decades. If you’re scrubbing mineral film off the walls every weekend or noticing soft spots near the base, shower replacement services in Bloomington, IL, can solve the problem at the source.
Covenant Plumbing replaces worn-out showers with custom Onyx shower systems built to your exact measurements. Our team of licensed plumbers handle every step of the installation process ourselves without weeks of contractors coming and going.
Our Shower Replacement Services in Bloomington
The right replacement depends on what’s failing and how you use the space. Here’s what we help with most often.
Leaking Tile Shower Replacement
Once grout starts failing, water finds its way into the wall cavity and subfloor. We tear out the old tile, check what’s underneath, and install non-porous Onyx panels with no grout to crack or stain.
Walk-In Shower Installation for Aging in Place
Stepping over a tall tub wall or curb gets harder over time. Our walk-in shower installation options include low-profile bases, barrier-free entries, built-in seating, and walls ready for grab bars. It’s a simple way to make the bathroom safer for you or a parent.
Custom Showers
Older homes near downtown often have alcoves that don’t match any standard kit. Onyx panels and bases are made to order for your dimensions, so they fit the space you have.
Shower Valve Replacement
A handle that won’t hold temperature or a dripping showerhead usually points to a worn valve. We can replace it while the walls are already open, so your new shower works as well as it looks.
Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Shower
Some problems only need a repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Replacement makes sense for issues like these.
- Cracked grout or loose tiles: Gaps let water reach the wall behind your shower, even if you can’t see a leak.
- Mold that keeps coming back: Porous grout holds moisture, and bleach only buys you a few weeks.
- Stains or soft spots outside the shower: Discoloration on nearby drywall or flooring often means water has already escaped.
- A tub or curb that’s hard to step over: Safety is a good enough reason to upgrade on its own.
We offer a written, in-home estimate for every project, too, so you’ll know exactly what to expect from your replacement.
Why We Install the Onyx Collection
We chose Onyx because it solves the problems we see most in local bathrooms. Every panel and base is manufactured to your shower’s exact measurements, so there are no saw cuts or gap-filling caulk lines.
The solid surface is non-porous, which means nothing soaks in. Soap scum and hard water residue wipe off with a damp cloth instead of settling into grout. The cultured stone material also feels more comfortable underfoot than cold tile, and Onyx products come with a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty.
How Long Does Shower Replacement Take?
Most projects take one to two days once your custom panels arrive, and you’ll have a working shower by the time we leave. Here’s what the process looks like:
- Free in-home estimate: We measure the space, walk through your options, and give you a written quote.
- Choose your style: Pick from dozens of colors, panel styles, and base configurations to match your bathroom or refresh it completely.
- Custom order: Your panels and base are built to your dimensions, and we’ll keep you updated while they’re made.
- Professional installation: Our licensed plumbers remove the old shower and install the new one.
Any valve or framing work we find gets explained before it’s done.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shower Replacement
How Much Does Shower Replacement Cost?
The price depends on your shower’s size and style, plus any valve or framing repairs we find during removal. We provide free written estimates before any work starts, and financing is available for qualified homeowners.
How Long After Installing a New Shower Can You Use It?
With an Onyx installation, you can typically use your shower the same day we finish, since there’s no grout that needs days to cure.
What Is the Lifespan of an Onyx Shower?
Onyx showers are built for the long haul, and the manufacturer backs its products with a lifetime warranty. The non-porous surface also avoids the grout breakdown that shortens a tile shower’s life.
