Steam Shower Plumbing in Boulder
Steam showers need a steam generator, a dedicated water supply, a drain line and an electrical circuit. We install the generator, plumb the supply and drain, and connect the steam head. A licensed electrician handles the circuit. Steam showers also need sealed enclosures and sloped ceilings.
Custom Shower Enclosure Installation in Boulder
GFR Plumbing provides comprehensive services for custom shower enclosures, including multi-head showers, body sprays, and steam units. These installations require precise planning for water lines, pressure balancing valves, and drainage systems. We make sure all components are correctly sized and installed to deliver strong performance and water flow, taking into account the water pressure variations sometimes seen in older neighborhoods. Proper sealing is critical for these complex systems.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Boulder, CO
Converting an old tub to a walk-in shower is one of the most popular bathroom upgrades. We remove the tub, relocate or resize the drain and install a new shower valve at the right height. On slab foundations, the drain may need to be moved, which involves cutting concrete. The result is a safer, more usable shower.
Accessible and ADA Shower Installation in Boulder, CO
Accessible showers need low or no thresholds, handheld showers on slide bars and properly placed controls. We install grab bar blocking while walls are open and set valves within easy reach of the seat. These features help seniors and people with mobility needs bathe safely. We follow ADA guidelines when requested.
Shower Valve & Trim Installation in Boulder, CO
The shower valve is the heart of your shower's operation, controlling water temperature and flow. GFR Plumbing installs all types of shower valves, including pressure-balancing, thermostatic, and diverter valves. We also install new trim kits, including handles, spouts, and showerheads. Proper valve installation prevents scalding and provides consistent water temperature, a critical comfort feature for your home in Boulder.
Curbless Shower Installation in Boulder
Curbless showers have no step, which makes them easier to use and gives a modern look. They require a recessed floor and careful drain placement, often with a linear drain. On a slab, we may need to lower the floor in the shower area. We work closely with your contractor to plan the slope and waterproofing.

New Construction Shower Installation in Boulder, CO
For new homes and additions, we rough in shower valves, supply lines and drains during framing. Valves are set to depth for the planned wall finish, and drains are located for the chosen pan.
