Signs of Mold or Mildew in Your Shower

You might notice a black spot here and there and wonder if perhaps mold is to blame. These are some signs of mold you should pay close attention to if you want to avoid major health issues.
Your Bathroom Doesn’t Dry Well
One of the major indicators of mold or mildew is the presence of water. Generally, water should drain from the tub after you are done bathing. In some situations, water does not drain. It may seep into the grout around the tub or even work its way behind shower tiles. Water seepage can cause mold or mildew to grow.
Your Bathroom Lacks Circulation
Mold is especially common in bathrooms that don’t have fans or windows. Stagnant air is more likely to let mold or mildew grow, especially after a shower when the damp air settles on surfaces. Opening a window or turning on an exhaust fan can help prevent spores from making your bathroom home.
Your Bathroom is Dark & Damp
Bathrooms are often the perfect place for mold to grow because they are usually dark and damp. Mold and mildew thrive in these environments, even making their way to the ceiling and underneath grout. If you don’t have a lot of natural light in the bathroom, you need to be aware of a potential problem.
You See Dark Spots
Black spots are often the first sign of mold or mildew in the bathroom. These black spots may first show up in your tile grout or the caulk around the shower or tub. Take a look at the floor, around the baseboards, and on the ceiling to spot spores in tricky locations.
Your Bathroom Smells Musty
Take a sniff next time you go into the bathroom to take a shower. If the room smells old and musty, you may have a mold problem. The smell is caused by mold spores decomposing materials in your house. The smell of mold rotting wood can be especially pungent.
Your Floor Feels Soft & Spongy
The floor can feel soft under your feet if your bathroom is damaged. You might even feel like you are stepping on a sponge, indicating the rotting of the flooring materials due to mold and other water damage.
You Think You Have Allergies
Often, people think they have constant allergies at home when they are actually dealing with mold exposure. Adults, children, and pets can experience signs of allergies. Symptoms include headaches, fatigue, dizziness, depression, runny nose, and itchy eyes. The culprit could be the bathroom.

Shower replacement- work done by Jason and Ben, very professional, cautious and answered all of our questions, cleaned up all areas inside and out. Highly recommend Bath Experts as well as Jason and Ben! Thank you for making this process stress free!
Great experience with Nate from their install team. On time, worked hard all day. Finished product looks great. A big upgrade from the builder grade tub / shower insert we got with the house originally.
Bath Experts were professional and experienced from the initial estimate to the installation. They were on time, called before they came and kept us informed of what was being done. The final project turned out beautifully and was completed in only two days. There was no mess for us to clean up. If I had it all to do over, I would call them again. I am so pleased with our new shower! My husband has already started recommending them to family and friends. Thank you Bath Experts!
My experience with Bath Experts were absolutely great my bathroom install is gorgeous I highly recommend them shaggy and Joey did a great job highly professional and knowledgeable
The 2 young fellas that installed my new tub were quick and polite very good at it amazing job all around I would recommend them highly to anyone who ask
Jacuzzi Bath Experts did an amazing job! Our new walk-in shower looks wonderful! Celius, Jackson and their other helper were very professional and extremely knowledgeable about their work. It only took 6 hours from start to finish, including cleanup! I was very impressed! We are very satisfied with our choice. We would recommend these guys to family and friends, and actually have already.
Anthony R. did a great job, kept me informed about progress, was kind to my dog and considerate of me having only one bathroom. It looks great and any customer would be grateful for such a terrific installer.
Today I had the greatest experience with bath experts. Jason and Levi came to my house around 9:00 and installed me the most beautiful shower and replacing my tub. They were clean and efficient and you can't even tell they were here I would recommend their work to anyone. They were also very knowledgeable on the equipment they were installing. They explained all functions and also the best way to keep it clean and looking good.
We have been very happy from start to finish with the process and work done by Bath Experts. They have all been professional, friendly and efficient. We love our new shower! Thank you all.
Service was excellent and the installer was great. He did an outstanding job and explained the process thoroughly. Highly recommend him for future work.
Had a walking shower installed. The floor or the shower is nonslip which makes it really nice that we dont have to use a Mat and safer for by 88 year old mom. The seat folds up so its not in the way of getting in or out. You pick the grab bars, the shelves, you want and we also had the caddie added and so glad we did because I love it. The young men that installed the shower, Max and Jackson were awesome young men, knew what they were doing and very pleasant. We are very pleased with the shower.
Very happy with our new shower! Our installer Cam was awesome - very professional, polite and very personable! Would highly recommend this company for ease of process. They kept us updated every step of the ordering process up to the expected installation date. The shower itself is beautiful and is a welcomed addition to our home!
The installation went smoothly! David & Jason accompanied outstanding work ethics as a team. Just B4 their arrival the area was hit with a flurries rainstorm. They quickly identified an adjustment for measuring & cutting the materials by asking if they was room in the garage, there was ample room for David’s expertise and Jason’s always ready to assist. It was a WET JOB Long Day they championed the job to completion the same day August 10, 2026. It was a big job and big decision to have the childhood cast iron tub removed!!! The new & improved shower/tub/jacuzzi fixtures at our 81year young home is simply beautiful. Thank U Bath Experts Team
I just had my walk in shower installed today. I was at work, the installer called me to verify where I wanted the safety bars. I came home to a beautiful brand new walk in shower. Happy customer!
Danon came out to give me an estimate and I was absolutely delighted with the whole process. He told me so much information about jacuzzi products that I wasn’t aware of. I’m electrician by trade so I’ve been around the building industry for years. Absolutely a great product with transferable lifetime warranty for me and I think 2 years for new owners if I sell. Thanks Danon.
We had excellent service through Bath Experts. The salesman was very informative. The installers were fantastic. The walk-in shower is absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t be happier.
Scheduled a total shower replacement and was very satisfied with the materials and the expertise of the 2 replacement technicians. Arrived at scheduled time and worked efficiently to complete the task in one day. Cleaned up well after installation was complete. Would use this company again.
Although the wait time to get scheduled was alittle long (not longer than they told us), it was surely worth the wait. The finished product is gorgeous! Our installer, Brian, was professional, conscientious, courteous, respectful & personable. LOVE our new walk-in shower!
Jordan and Ryan were so professional and got the project done in an efficient manner. They kept everything clean. The shower is awesome!! I'm very happy with everything from Mark the salesperson, Madasia the project manager and Jacob and Ryan as the installers. I couldn't be happier!
You can’t deny the product is great and a tad costly but it’s the best. Totally custom. The installer was even better. Accurate, clean, knowledgeable, and well spoken easy to understand.
I chose bath experts this time since their quality of work was much better than the other group. There was a difference of about 1500 but i went with Bath experts. They showed up on time, had their name on the van and shirts.
I got a tub to walk-in shower with glass doors and the experience was wonderful!!! I was as excited from the very beginning mostly due to Taesha as she was one of the best sales professional I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Installation was smooth and very clean. They represented great teamwork. Highly recommend.
