Shower Remodeling
How much did you spend on remodeling your shower/tub area including getting rid of the tiling?
What did you get done? How much did it cost? How long did it take? Do you have any rec. for contractors or companies?
My place is 30 years old. I have pulled out all of the garish gold plated stuff at this point except in the shower. The rest of the bathroom is in blue slate and chrome.
There are 3 main companies that focus on the shower/tub area. All 3 of these companies do this in 1 Day.
1) Luxury Bath
2) Re-Bath
3) Bath Fitter
Luxury Bath is the highest quality by a long shot. It also has a product called microban. Microban is a antimicrobial product that actually kills mold and mildew. It also comes with the best warranty. www.luxurybath.com
Re-Bath would be my second choice. The reason being is they, like Luxury Bath have a one piece “dog leg” (The area on the wall in front off the tub. The dog leg goes from the top of the tub rail to the floor.)
The reason I would not recommend Bath fitter is because of the dog leg. This is the area that is most prone to leaking and they piece it together here.
As far as other options there is
1) tearing it out and starting over
2) Ceramic tile
3) re-glazing
With tearing it out you will be forced to use a fiberglass tub, which is very porous making it very difficult to clean. (for those that are reading this, thinking how nice your fiberglass tub is, go in there and rub your fingers over it. It may look o.k. but it will be greasy, that’s because the porous material is literally sucking the soap scum in. Fiberglass surrounds are also known for cracking and being “spongy” when you stand in them.
Ceramic tile is definitely attractive, but unfortunately the grout is the weak point, after all its 80% sand, and sand sucks in the water making it a perfect surface for mold and mildew. Grout also needs maintenance once a month, but before you do the maintenance, you need to clean it with a toothbrush.
re-glazing is when they paint the tub. This is more of a band-aid if your trying to sell the home, but don’t care how it will look in 6 months to 1 year. It also doesn’t address the walls or fixtures.
