Step 1 · Preparation and Water Shut-off

Begin by shutting off the water supply to the entire house using the main shutoff valve, typically located in a basement, crawlspace, or near the water meter. Open a faucet on the lowest level of the house (like a basement sink) and the shower faucet itself to drain any remaining water from the pipes. Place a drop cloth on the floor of the shower or tub to protect the surface from scratches and debris. Gather all necessary tools and materials for the project and stage them nearby.
