Shower Remodeling

Sometimes renovating your bathroom calls for decisions to be made ahead of time. If your bathroom is stuck in the 1950’s without a shower, you may want to install a shower. Sometimes this is best done by installing bathroom shower stalls instead of a tub enclosure. Bathroom shower stalls are available in many different styles such as acrylic, fiberglass, corner, neo angle and plain kits. Each one lends its own special style to your bathroom and is generally easy to install. Installation of some may require the specialized skills of a plumber in order to run water lines under the floors and into the walls.

Bathroom shower stalls can range greatly in prices. Enclosures are generally cheaper than free-standing shower stalls because they consist primarily of three walls and nothing else. One example of this is the Swanstone Swan Tile Shower wall kit found on efaucets.com for $682.77. It comes only with 3 walls and the base. You must either purchase a door kit or shower curtain rods with this kit. It does not come with everything your need for installation and other products are necessary before installation is complete.

If you are considering a corner free-standing shower stall, consider a Neo-angle Shower System found on doitbest.com for $384.99. These make the perfect corner showers and most come complete with everything you need for installation. The Kohler Arica® round shower enclosure found on faucetdirect.com for $1593.74 can be used in a corner. It features you choice of bright silver or bright nickel finishes and is a round stall. Both of these two bathroom shower stalls are perfect for corner use and will allow you to utilize that corner of wasted space.

Some bathroom shower stalls are constructed of fiberglass and acrylic. The ASB Firenza Retro Fit Bathtub to Shower Stall found on showerbuddy.com for a total of $635.00 will change your bathtub space into a shower. It is made of white high gloss textured acrylic. The Florestone Model 48-3WTB Fiberglass Shower stall found on florestone.com is the perfect shower stall because there is no need to worry about flaking or chipping of the surface. A door kit or shower curtains and rods must be purchased with this kit and the prices will vary depending on the dimensions you require.

Many of the bathroom shower stalls available come in kits with everything you need for installation and vary in prices. Enclosures are a little less expensive than the stall kits although they too have varying prices. Enclosures are intended to close off a bathtub for the purpose of installing a shower. Many are available in acrylic, marble, granite, mosaic tiles and fiberglass. Retailers in your area will be able to help you with choosing the perfect bathroom shower stalls for your bathroom as well as telling you which kits come with floors or bases. You should check with local retailers to see which kits are readily available in your area. Some may need to be special ordered in which case; your retailer will be able to handle the arrangements for delivery.
