Shower Remodel Ideas

Have you been thinking of turning your outdated shower into the one of your dreams? More and more, people in Austin are opting for showers with stylish features such as rain shower or waterfall-style shower heads, multiple shower heads, frameless glass shower doors and even steam showers. Having the shower of your dreams isn’t as hard as you might think with help of the professional craftsmen at Handyman Connection of Austin.

Turn your shower into a spa retreat

After a long day, you look forward to unwinding at home. Perhaps one of the first things you anticipate is a relaxing shower. Why not pamper yourself further with a gorgeous shower stall? Think of it as your own personal spa. A trendy, eye-catching textured stone surround with correlating floors, recessed lighting and regal oil-rubbed bronze or brushed nickel fixtures are some shower updates to you feel like you are treating yourself to a spa day. Of course, the style, size and materials for your new shower will depend on your taste and budget. We can help you with your choices.

Shower designs to match your bathroom

Adding a new shower or updating an old one doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of time and money remodeling your entire bathroom. Choose a multi-colored shower surround such as tumbled marble, granite, limestone or quartz. Paint the rest of the room in the color that best correlates or highlights the shower surround material. You can also choose for synthetic tiles that closely resemble natural stone. This material does not cost as much as natural stone and is easier to maintain.

You can also create a gorgeous bathroom surround with ceramic or porcelain tile. With plenty of designs and colors available, you can find one that will accent with your bathroom’s existing colors. If properly installed, shower tiles will withstand years of use; however, grout cleaning can be tedious and difficult.

Affordable shower installations

If you want to update your shower, but are looking for a less expensive option, choose a fiberglass one-piece unit or acrylic sheets for your shower stall. These materials feature a clean, crisp appearance, match any décor or theme in your bathroom and are a breeze to clean. However, because one-piece shower units are large and bulky, they are best installed during a new bathroom construction or if your bathroom walls are first removed. Another downside to fiberglass is that it yellows with age and can easily scratch with repeated cleaning.

Acrylic sheets, on the other hand, are easier to install and look great. Nevertheless, water can eventually seep into the seams, leading to possible significant damage from corrosion and mildew. While these types of installation materials are easy on your wallet, they won’t pay off in the long run.
