Shower Remodel

A comprehensive shower remodel is an excellent opportunity to customize and modernize the place where you start and end your day.

Features and Benefits of a Shower Remodel

While upgrading your shower space with the latest features and fixtures is a great way to modernize the look and feel of the area, there are various other benefits that a shower renovation brings. Let’s take a closer look at some of the reasons to upgrade your shower space.

Modern showers are packed with all kinds of features, from frameless, curved shower doors, adjustable showerheads and integrated soap dispensers to specialized light fixtures, anti-slip flooring, ergonomically-designed fixtures and more.

Even a basic shower remodel can completely transform a no-frills bathroom into an extremely stylish space with unique finishes and textures as per your taste.

If your current bathroom layout isn’t making the most of the available space, a shower renovation could fix this. A well-planned shower area makes efficient use of space and could free up the area for extra storage or any other needs.

Best Types of Showers

There are several different approaches to a shower renovation, and the direction you choose will primarily be based on your bathroom space and personal preferences. Let’s explore the popular types of shower frames and enclosures.

Corner Shower

Corner showers, as the name suggests, fit into a corner against two of your bathroom’s walls to maximize the use of space. They are ideal for smaller bathrooms. A standard-size corner shower is just 36 x 36 inches, but they're available in smaller and larger sizes too.

Double Shower

Nowadays, homeowners are opting for double showers in their larger bathrooms. With two showerheads, typically located on opposite walls, the double shower is a practical solution for couples who get ready simultaneously. Additionally, the extra space is helpful for the elderly or persons with limited physical capabilities.

Framed Shower

The traditional framed shower enclosure accommodates all door designs. The framework doubles as a strength support while adding clean lines to the space. Matching the framework finish to the other fittings helps to integrate the bathroom’s design. Framed showers come in various sizes and offer a water-tight seal ensuring a dry bathroom.

Frameless Shower

If your style suggests simplistic lines, you may consider a frameless shower enclosure. Ideal for large bathrooms, frameless showers showcase the stone or tile surface and fittings inside the enclosure providing a more seamless look. The glass doors on frameless shower enclosures can swing either way and are easy to clean.

Glass Shower Door Replacement

A new glass shower door is an economical and easy way to upgrade your shower space without investing in a full shower remodel. You might be replacing a damaged/leaking door or simply want to modernize the look of your bathroom. Either way, this is a simple task that can be completed in a matter of hours.

Steam Showers

Steam showers can be added to existing shower enclosures or installed separately and are a great way to relax and soothe aching muscles. Steam shower installation is a relatively easy task; so long as there is a sealed shower enclosure, access to electricity and the water line. While steam showers can be expensive, they also substantially boost your home’s resale value.

Shower Tile Installation

Shower tile installation is an economical alternative to a complete shower remodel. Tiles for shower floors and walls are available in various designs and materials, including ceramic, stone, porcelain, and glass, and can last decades. With the number of choices available, you could pick tiles for your shower area that match the rest of the bathroom or go for a unique design all of your own.

Roll-in Shower

The usual bathrooms can be difficult and dangerous for elders or those with limited mobility due to physical limitations. Roll-in showers are safe and accessible. With no curb, the bathroom floor is at the same level as the shower area for wheelchairs to easily roll in. Other features include curb drains, grab bars, and L-shaped or rectangular shower seats. All roll-in showers in the US must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Replacing a tub with a walk-in shower is becoming increasingly synonymous with a full-featured bathroom. Replacing a bathtub with a shower can be complex and take up to a week but is worth the time once done.
If you are trying to increase usable space, consider the cost-effective tub-to-shower conversion.

Walk-in Shower Remodel

A walk-in shower is a popular bathroom remodel project. The space lends itself to a minimalist design. Whether a prefab unit or a custom job, a walk-in shower is sleek, elegant, and easy to do. To prevent overflow of water onto the bathroom floor, the shower area can have a curb or a curb drain.
For convenience and accessibility, one might add benches to sit on and choose to construct with or without doors.

Shower Remodel Costs

Depending on what you have in mind for your shower renovation, you could spend a few hundred dollars for a small shower enclosure or up to several thousand dollars for an opulent walk-in shower with all the bells and whistles. Other factors that may affect the cost of your shower remodel project include your location, local labor costs, materials you wish to use, the accessories and features you desire, and other variables.
