Step 9 · Final Cleanup and System Check

Turn the main water supply back on completely. Turn on the new shower valve and test all its functions: hot, cold, and the diverter (if applicable). Check for any leaks around the new trim. Once satisfied, remove your drop cloth and use a shop vacuum to clean up all tile dust and debris from the shower and surrounding area. Wipe down all surfaces with a damp cleaning cloth.
