Walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions in Lakeland, Florida Waterproofed. Detailed. Built to last.
Walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions in Lakeland, Florida are a core part of Connie Shockey’s work at T-L Ceramic Installation LLC — from herringbone floors to pebble details and solid waterproofing.
Custom walk-in showers for Lakeland homes
Lakeland homeowners usually call about a walk-in shower for one of two reasons: the old tub is in the way, or the existing shower never felt right.
Connie builds custom-tiled walk-in showers for Lakeland homeowners who want the wet area done once — niches where shampoo actually sits, benches that match the layout, and floors that drain cleanly. Based in Lakeland, Connie is minutes from most neighborhoods, which keeps communication direct.
Florida showers fail at the edges: poorly sealed corners, soft curb details, and tile over weak prep. Our approach starts with how water moves through the space, then the finish pattern you will look at every day.

Tub-to-shower conversions that respect the room
Converting a tub to a shower is not just demolition. Plumbing, wall substrate, and floor transitions have to make sense with the rest of the bath. We plan the conversion so the new shower feels intentional — not like a tub that vanished overnight.
Popular Lakeland choices include stone-look porcelain walls, hex or pebble floors, dark herringbone accents, and marble-look fields with mosaic panels. She brings samples to your home so you can compare them under your lighting.

Details from real Lakeland shower jobs
Our gallery shows herringbone shower floors with marble walls, pebble-lined niches, subway with penny tile, and finished suites that pair a walk-in with a separate tub. Every photo is Connie’s own work.
If the shower is one piece of a bigger plan, pair it with bathroom remodeling or update adjacent floors with tile or wood-look LVP.

Questions, answered.
Should I convert my Lakeland tub to a walk-in shower?
If the tub is rarely used, a conversion often frees space, simplifies cleaning, and improves daily safety. Connie will look at plumbing, framing, and how the room flows before recommending a path.
Do you build curbless or low-curb showers?
Yes, when the structure and drain plan allow it. Many Lakeland homes get a low curb or carefully graded entry that feels open without fighting the existing slab.
What about niches, benches, and glass?
Custom niches, corner or full benches, and glass enclosure coordination are part of our shower work. She tiles the wet area; glass is planned so openings and hardware land cleanly.
How important is waterproofing in Central Florida?
Critical. Humidity and daily use punish shortcuts. Connie treats waterproofing, drainage, and transitions as non-negotiable — not an afterthought.
Can a shower be part of a larger bath remodel?
Absolutely. Many clients combine a new walk-in with vanity and floor updates. See bathroom remodeling in Lakeland or call (863) 608-0561.
