The holidays are approaching quickly, and you haven’t gotten around to redoing that guest bathroom. Maybe you’d love to install a walk in shower to better accommodate your family members who use mobility aids. Maybe you need to replace a chipped and moldy tub with something clean, sleek, and safe to use. No matter what kind of remodel you need, you’re looking at the calendar and wondering if you really have enough time.
At ZINTEX Remodeling Group, our Quick Ship Program makes it possible to get your new shower installed in three weeks or less. This is the perfect option for those last-minute upgrades before your holiday guests come to stay. Let’s take a closer look at how our Quick Ship Program works and how you can take advantage of it this year.

How Long Does a Bathroom Remodel Take on Average?
A lot of bathroom remodelers market a one-day shower program, but what does that really mean? It means that the actual installation may take a single workday, but that doesn’t tell you much about the overall timeline, which will also include:
- Planning and design
- Material shipments (aka the lead time)
- Demolition and structural or plumbing upgrades
- Installation and post-installation cleanup

In total, most installers can complete your shower from contract to cleanup in two months or less. At ZINTEX, we’re usually finished in six weeks or less.
Part of what allows ZINTEX to complete the in-home phases (from demo to cleanup) in one to three days total is that we specialize in acrylic shower walls. If you’re looking for a material like tile, the in-home phases are likely going to take longer. This is because acrylic shower walls come together in four main pieces (the base and three walls), whereas tile must be installed piecemeal.
What Is the ZINTEX Quick Ship Program?
The ZINTEX Quick Ship Program is a remodeling option that is available to all our customers. However, it does impact your design options (which we’ll discuss below). That means that to take advantage of the Quick Ship option, you’ll need to plan your remodel around the program from the start. (In other words, we probably won’t be able to retroactively fast-track a remodel that is already underway.)

The Quick Ship Program enables customers to complete their remodel in three weeks or less, starting from the time you sign your contract. Our sales representatives will come to your in-home consultation equipped with all the information you need to sign a contract that same day. In other words, you could go from completing your consultation to enjoying your newly remodeled shower in three weeks or less. That’s at least one week faster than our fastest standard remodels and closer to one month faster than industry averages.
How do we make this work? We keep select walk in shower materials on hand in our warehouses. By designing a shower with materials we keep stocked, you eliminate that prolonged shipping timeline. Plus, you eliminate the risk of supply chain delays or material defects upon arrival.
What Are My Design Options for a Quick Ship Remodel?
We’re able to offer an expedited Quick Ship Program because we have the ability to keep a surplus of popular shower materials in our warehouses. Originally, this included only the most basic single-color options, like white and beige (sometimes referred to as biscuit or almond). As the Quick Ship Program becomes more popular, we’re able to expand our offerings to include a variety of premium panels with designs that resemble high-end natural stone.

The important thing to keep in mind when you’re using our Quick Ship Program is that it does limit your customization options. For example, you may not be able to:
- Pick from the full range of premium wall panel designs offered by KOHLER, Jacuzzi, or BCI Acrylic (manufacturer partnerships subject to your location)
- Add etched patterns to create the aesthetic of tile
- Pick from our full range of shower accessories, such as corner shelves or foldable bench seating
The best way to find out what design options are currently available to you via the Quick Ship Program is to schedule a consultation with a local sales representative.
What’s the Latest I Can Start My Remodel Before the Holidays?
When you’re planning your remodel on a tight schedule, timing is everything. To make matters a little easier, we’ve created a chart for the latest possible date you can schedule your consultation (assuming you sign a contract the same day) to get your Quick Ship Program shower completed by the holiday you have in mind.
