Mold that returns in the grout or caulk, a soft or stained wall near the shower, or a stain on the ceiling below usually means water is getting behind the wall. Fort Collins Bathroom and Home Remodeling deals with the cause: we take the shower out, rebuild the waterproofing and finish with grout-free walls.
Updated November 2026
Grout and caulk let a little water through every day. When the waterproofing behind them has failed, that water soaks the backer board and the framing, and mold grows where no cleaner can reach it. Our Bathroom Demolition Day video shows what we find when an old shower comes out.
If the mold covers a large area, has spread into the room, or you can smell it with the shower dry, call a mold remediation company before any remodel. They test for it and clean it out. We do not test for mold or remove it. Once the area is clear, we take the shower out and rebuild it with new waterproofing.
We take the shower back to the studs and build the waterproofing again from the base up, then finish with grout-free walls. Every shower we build starts at $16,500. That includes full demolition, all-new plumbing (supply lines and drain), a composite stone shower system and all accessories. Your exact number comes from a free in-home visit.

Cleaning the mold again, or rebuilding what is behind it.
It takes away the grout lines where shower mold usually starts, and the waterproofing behind it is new. Air the bathroom out and wipe the walls down, and mold has far less to grow on.

Usually because it is growing where you cannot clean: in porous grout, under caulk, or behind the wall where water has been getting through. Cleaning the surface removes what you can see, and it grows back from what is left.
Mold that returns soon after cleaning, grout or caulk that crumbles, a wall that feels soft or looks stained near the shower, a stain on the ceiling below, or a musty smell when the shower is dry.

We do not do repairs. We take the shower out and rebuild it with new waterproofing, new supply lines and drain, and grout-free walls, so the cause goes along with the damage.
