Six steps, two to three days, one crew that cleans up after itself.
Small jobs deserve real process — most surround failures we tear out were skipped steps, not bad tile. Every Cromwell Tub Craft surround in Cromwell follows the same six-step sequence, and you can check our work at step three before a single tile is set. If the waterproofing is not right, nothing after it matters, so we photograph it and show you.
In Cromwell steps 2–3 usually take day one and steps 4–5 take days two and three: Cromwell's 80s subdivisions are all hitting surround age at once — the same yellowed unit in fifty houses on one street. You can shower again 24 hours after grout — we will tell you the exact hour.
Surround tile we set most in Cromwell — each suits different baths and budgets.
Tear-out day makes dust; we hang barriers, run containment, and clean between phases. Setting and grouting days are quiet hand work.
For the measure and the walkthrough, yes. During work days many customers hand over a key — we're licensed, insured and tidy, and we lock up.
We inspect at the measure. If valves are serviceable they stay; if they're due, we coordinate replacement before tile — never tiled over and hoped about.
Typically measured this week, started within one to two weeks. Surrounds are short jobs so we fit them between larger bookings quickly.
