Shower Base
If you’re looking to have a shower remodel in Arlington, TX done sometime in the near future, then there’s a good chance that you’ve already started looking around for basic items, such as a shower base. More than likely, you’ve looked online in a search engine and, after typing in the words “shower base”, you see a whole lot of different results that show the thing that you will physically stand on while you’re taking a shower.
You’ll also see results pop up that talk about the thing that is underneath that standing platform, a concrete substructure that leads water to the drain. They are two different things, and have two different names.
As long time Professional Bathroom Renovators in Arlington, TX, we know the difference between what a shower base is versus what a shower pan is. That slanted concrete bed that’s underneath that standing platform is actually what’s called the shower base. Sometimes when you’re having certain problems like water backing up into your shower coming back up out of the drain, the underlying problem may be with that old, worn and sometimes cracked concrete shower base.
It is slanted so that water goes down into the drain where it’s supposed to, and we’ve had hundreds of home bathroom renovations where we literally had to start from the bottom up when doing shower remodels in Arlington, because of issues with the shower base.
Shower Pans
That flat-surfaced platform that you physically stand on is the shower pan, and there are lots and lots of nice ones out there on the market that we can install during your bathroom renovation. The drain on your shower pan will sometimes be on the right, and other times it’ll be on the left; it just depends on the way that your new shower remodel is planned.
For example, different types of showers have different thresholds, which is where your shower pan’s door will be. They’re a few specific types of shower pans, such a single and double threshold pans and neo angle shower pans.
There are also shower pans that are in a bathtub conversion style, and also those that are ADA compliant, if you have someone in your household who will need handicap access to the shower. Whatever kind of shower pan you choose for us to install during your Arlington, TX shower renovation, there are many different colors and designs out there to pick from.
Shower Tile
The type of shower tile that you choose will greatly affect your shower remodel cost in Arlington, so you should give it a good deal of thought beforehand. One of the main things we like to recommend as Professional Bathroom Contractors is to consider the texture of the tiles that you are choosing for your shower.
You want something that is slip resistant, but also that’s attractive to the eye. Rock tile has natural slip resistant qualities about it, and it also looks good along the walls of your shower. Also, being that mosaic tile is smaller, many homeowners not only want it on their shower walls, but also on the shower floor, because the smaller tile creates a slip resistant surface in itself.
Still, there are all kinds of beautiful shower tile that we can install for you when we remodel your shower, such as mosaic tile, glass tile, porcelain tile, travertine tile, limestone tile, ceramic tile, slate tile, stone with glass tile, quartzite tile, or granite tile.
Shower Doors & Glass
When it comes to your shower doors and glass, there are so many options. For example, do you want shower glass that’s fogged or clearly see-through? Do you know whether or not you want a folding shower door or a sliding shower door? Maybe you don’t want either one of those types, and would prefer one that opens like a regular door in the house.
There are so many beautiful examples of these types of shower doors and glass out there that you could consider when brainstorming how you want your shower remodeled in Arlington. And, we’ll help you find the best price ones out there, if you need some extra advice and assistance with that.
Shower Seating & Benches
One of the best compliments to a shower are shower seating and benches. Not only are they a great addition to any shower (no matter the size of the shower itself), but they are also a wonderful safety feature.
Even with the smallest showers that we’ve remodeled in the past we’ve been able to include seating, whether it was a corner shower seat, or a bench that folded up onto the shower wall.
Shower Support Rails
Shower support rails will be a necessity if you have a handicapped or elderly person in the household who will be utilizing that shower regularly. They’re not only a wonderful safety feature, but are also very attractive shower appliances that coordinate well with other things in and around the shower.
Shower Appliances
The shower appliances include the most important things in your shower. For example, have you decided what style of shower head and self-cleaning shower nozzles you want? These two shower appliances will of course match other things in your entire shower system, such as the hot and cold knob and faucet.
All of these different items normally come in sets all together. So, when thinking about how you want your shower appliances to look, remember you want them to go well with the type of shower tile that you have on the floor and wall, as well as coordinate with the type of shower door and glass you choose.
Shower Remodel Cost
All of the items that you choose will add up to your shower remodel cost. This is the number that we will figure out with you before we physically start working on your shower renovation. The good news is that shower remodel costs in Arlington are generally not that high, depending on how expensive the shower tile and shower doors and glass are, which are the two things that will mostly impact what the cost to remodel a shower will be.
We’ll take as much time as you need to determine the cost to remodel your shower when we sit down with you during your free estimate session.
