How to Renovate a Bathroom Shower

Bathroom renovation projects can get expensive if you do not plan them properly. According to the House Flipping Helper website, a bathroom remodeling project can cost anywhere from $2,500 to $7,500 depending on what work you have done and the quality of the materials you use. You can save money when you are renovating the bathroom shower by using a few small changes that will change the look and functionality of your shower area.
  1. Shower Door

    • By replacing your shower curtain with a shower door you are giving your shower a different look and functionality. If you need to install safety rails in your shower, then a well-constructed shower door can be one more place where you offer assistance to those who need it. Decorative glass doors can have stencil designs or colors on them to help add to your decor.

    Corner shelves

    • Installing corner shelves in your shower stall adds functionality and accessibility to your shower. Shelves can help add storage space for soap, shampoo and anything else you would need to take into the shower with you. Corner shelves can either be permanently installed in your shower using adhesive and caulk, or you can purchase temporary shelves that have tension rods to hold them in place.

    Shower Head

    • The standard stationary shower head can be replaced with a variety of options. A shower head with a variety of massage settings can help relax and relieve tension. You can install a detached shower head that you can use like a wand to control where and how water is applied. Another option is to install multiple shower heads spa system that can also be therapeutic. Remember that an extra shower head means an increase in your water bill.

    Bench Seating

    • If you are remodeling your shower because of someone in your home who may have special needs, then consider installing a small bench seat in the back of your stall. A shower stall bench could also be useful for new mothers or people who are recovering from a long-term illness or injury.
