Tub and shower installation: The next step is to install the new tub and shower. This will involve lifting the tub into place and connecting it to the rough-in plumbing. The plumber will then install the shower valve and showerhead.
Wall surround: Once the tub and shower are installed, the plumber will install the wall surround. This can be done with tile, fiberglass, or another material.
