Disassemble your
shower door by first
removing the door(s)
and then the frame.

Remove the faucet
handles and the
shower head.
Some faucets have a
decorative cap in the
center of the handle.
By removing this cap,
you will gain access
to the screw that
holds the faucet
handle to the stem.
Carefully remove the
decorative trim rings
from around the stem.
Score the wall board
around the existing
surround to break
loose any caulking
sealing the shower
wall to the wall board.

Identify which panel
was the last to
originally be installed.

the remaining panels.
Lift the strainer
off the drain fitting
and disassemble
the drain fitting.
NOTE: Some
fittings may have
to be cut off.
Cut the wall board
with a utility knife
and remove the wall
board so as to
expose the shower
base mounting
flange.
Remove nails or
screws attaching old
shower base and lift
out.
Remove remaining
wallboard as necessary
and clean up work

Now you are ready
