Shower Installation in Point Arena & the Mendocino Coast
Tile and prefab shower installation, including curbless and walk-in conversions.
Whether you are replacing a leaking fiberglass unit, converting a tub to a walk-in shower, or building a full custom tile shower, the part that matters most is the part nobody sees. Riboli & Son's installs showers with correct slope, backer board, waterproof membrane and drain detailing so that water goes where it should for decades.
We install tiled showers, prefabricated pans and surrounds, glass enclosures, and curbless walk-in showers for homeowners who want to stay in their home comfortably as they get older. Grab-bar blocking, bench seating and comfort-height fixtures are easy to add while the walls are open.
Coastal humidity means a shower that was installed poorly shows it fast — soft floors, black grout lines, and rot behind the tile. Rebuilding those failures is a large share of our work, and it is entirely preventable.

Shower Installation FAQs
- Can you convert my tub into a walk-in shower?
- Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most common requests, especially for homeowners planning to stay in their coastal home long term.
- How long does shower installation take?
- A straightforward replacement typically takes about one to two weeks including tile cure time. Custom tile work or hidden rot repair can add days.
- Do you fix water damage found behind the old shower?
- Yes. We open it up, show you what is there, and repair framing or subfloor damage before the new shower goes in.
