Outdoor Shower Installation With Hot Water and Drainage
An outdoor shower is small work that fails on two details: where the water goes, and whether you can use it without an audience. Both get settled before the first pipe is run.
What’s included in the work.
Every project has the same core scope, adapted to the specific property and program.
- 01
Siting & Privacy
Placed for the run from the pool or the back door, with walls, screens, or trellis giving it enough enclosure to actually get used.
- 02
Water Supply
Hot and cold supply run and insulated, with mixing valves and freeze protection for the handful of Houston nights that need it.
- 03
Drainage
A drained floor piped to a proper discharge point, or a gravel and sump bed where no drain connection is available.
- 04
Floor & Walls
Travertine, tile, flagstone, or cedar slat floors and walls that stay non-slip and dry out between uses.
- 05
Fixtures
Rain heads, handhelds, foot rinses, and hose bibs in a finish that survives being left outdoors.
- 06
Storage & Finishing
Benches, hooks, shelves, and towel hardware so it works as a changing spot rather than just a tap on a wall.
Everything you see.
Everything you don’t.
What separates a landscape that lasts from one that fails in two summers is the work you never see — grade, drainage, soil preparation, and compacted base. On Houston clay, that is most of the job.
And what you do see — the joint lines, the bed edges, the level of a terrace against the house — we hold to the same standard.
Roughly what it costs.
The range below is what work of this kind typically runs in Houston, so you can place yourself in it before you call. It is a starting point, not a quote — every project is scoped to the specific property, program, and material selections.
We confirm a clear investment range in the initial consultation and issue a detailed proposal after the design phase.
- How far hot and cold supply has to be run from the house
- Whether the floor drains to a plumbed connection or a gravel sump
- Floor and wall finish — travertine, tile, flagstone, or cedar slats
- Fixtures, mixing valves, and freeze protection
- Screening, benches, hooks, and towel hardware
$3,500 – $14,000
Most projects of this type
- At the lower end
- A wall-mounted hot and cold shower on an existing slab, draining to a gravel bed behind a simple screen.
- At the upper end
- An enclosed shower with travertine or tiled floor and walls, a drained and piped floor, rain head and handheld, and benches and storage.
A range, not a quote. Your figure depends on square footage, materials, how much grading and drainage the site needs, and equipment access.
Work that goes with this.
Most projects combine several of these, and doing them together costs less than doing them one at a time.
