Description of Work: Removed all tile, base,door, and backing of existing shower. Repaired, leveled and rebuilt subfloor and installed new base, tile etc. Removed existing tile floor as well as 3 layers of old flooring and rebuilt,leveled, reinforced sub flooring with Durock. Installed new tile floor as well as existing vanity and commode. |What started as a straight forward remodel became more complex when all the floor layers were removed and the condition of the remaining sub floor was evaluated. Company owner Nick Lawson handled it like a pro and resolved the problem by rebuilding, leveling and reinforcing the floor. His attention to detail was excellent and we are pleased with the results.

Nick is an affable Aussie who is passionate about his work. We have had this work done several times; each time, the grout yellows quickly - particularly in the steam shower. So far, so good. Things look as bright and clean as the day he completed the work. Nick is a busy, one-man business. But once he's on the job, he's the best.
Description of Work: Nick removed and replaced all the grout in our steam shower, jacuzzi, and bathroom sink and tub in second bathroom. He resealed a marble bath countertop, repaired the steam shower door, and cleaned tiles in steam shower.

I thought that the work was well done. He was a really nice guy to deal with. He started the job quickly and stayed committed to a time and finished it. There were a lot of follow-ups to be done and fix a few things, and we had to call him for a number of times. He was apologetic when he did come, and he finished the job soon. I had to make three to four calls for him to respond.
Description of Work: I used Shower Repair Llc in May to recock the shower and the marble.

What began as a positive experience with Nick Lawson ended badly. Originally we consulted with Nick to repair a shower floor that had developed a leak. We ended up hiring him to re-tile a second shower as well. He did all the work himself except for the installation of the toilet, where he brought in two plumbers. His work hours were not conventional--sometimes he would show up late in the afternoon and work into the evening. This didn't really bother me. But then his behavior became more erratic. Toward the end of the job he was working late into the evening and then discovered that the caulk, which was out in his truck, had frozen (it was December). So he was unable to finish the job that night, and he was about to leave for vacation the next day. We agreed he could finish it when he came back,though it meant my bathroom would be unusable while he was on vacation. He never came back to finish the job, though I had (foolishly) paid him him full.
Description of Work: We had a shower floor repaired and replaced in one bathroom; in a second bathroom the shower stall was re-tiled completely. The contractor also hired two plumbers to come in and install a new toilet for us (cost of toilet not included in the amount we spent).

Nick was prompt, friendly and thorough from start to finish. He was clear in telling us what the work would entail. He offered to come back after I have some tub work done to ensure the recaulking is done properly.
Description of Work: * Removed the grout in problem areas in the shower/tub * Removed and replaced base tiles along floor * Replaced grout in tub/shower area * Recaulked around tub and floor

Nick responded that day after I left a message with his office. Arranged for a meeting, quoted price on site. Arranged for the following week for work. Came on time each time. Did work in time he estimated. I never did get a written quote, but I wasn't too worried. Gave good care instructions for afterwards. No problems since. Thanks!

Initially contacted this vendor to re-grout and re-seal a shower with marble tiles. When Nick, the owner of the company, came to provide the estimate he showed us where we had some long term leaking under the tiles. We decided to go ahead and have the problem spot fixed (the step into the shower was dismantled and rebuilt) along with the cosmetic re-grout and re-seal. Nick was both prompt and professional.
Description of Work: Rebuilt step frame into master bath shower, re-grout, re-sealed and re-caulked master bath shower.

Nick did outstanding work. I was very pleased with how everything turned out. My only complaint was that, while he was on time when he came, he postponed dates he had made in advance. What should have taken 3-4 days (in my opinion) took two weeks.And he didn't come at all the last day to finish some minor things. For this reason, I would have to think twice about hiring him again.
Description of Work: Nick recaulked the tile in two bathrooms and installed two shower doors.

. It only took him about two hours, but he did a very good job.
Description of Work: He fixed my shower tiles which were creating a leak in the ceiling below the bathroom. He also used the sealant that I had to go ahead and seal the natural stone tile that I had.

Nick is fantastic -- recommend him highly. I communicated to him poorly about some caulking and retiling I wanted done around a mirrored area and when I saw it wasn't done the way it should have been (again, my fault) he came back promptly and addressed the issue at no extra charge. Great guy -- give him your business!!
Description of Work: Repaired our shower wall, re-tiled, re-grouted and then added tiles around a mirrored area

Nick was excellent. He came for a consult within 15 minutes of calling and the next day did the work. He diagnosed the problem, completed the job quickly, and was fair-priced.
Description of Work: Advised on chronic leak. Tested shower to see if plumbing problems existed. Finding none, re-caulked and re-grouted problem spots.

The service was wonderful - and the end product was better than we imagined. . .it's like a brand new shower - something we never thought would happen. Better yet, the shower is easy to clean - and has remained like new! We definitely recommend Shower Repair LLC.
Description of Work: Shower Repair LLC identified the cause of our shower and instead of making a quick fix, explained how the Company could get rid of the existing grout, dry out the shower tile, and replace the grout as well as put new door sweeps on our gross shower door. Nick, the owner, came twice, once to get rid of the old grout, etc. and once to replace the grout, etc. after everything was dried out. He was timely and definitely left a clean work area behind.

Nick cleaned out my old grout and silicone seal on one short visit. When everything was dry, he returned and regrouted and sealed all joints. Left everything clean.
Description of Work: Nick Lawson is the President and hands on owner. He was punctual with all of his visits, knew what to do, and provided an estimate. Our shower was prone to leaking at times and my unprofessional attempts to find the cause and seal the marble flooring did not last.
