With the housing market being down, many people are opting to upgrade the homes they live in, rather than move to a new place.
The second most popular room to remodel is the bathroom, because we all spend a lot of time in there and who doesn't love a nice bathroom? Of course, replacing the whole shower fixture can run into the thousands, so if you don't have that kind of extra in your budget, then you can opt to replace the shower enclosure to give your bathroom that stylish upgrade without breaking your bank account.
New shower enclosures come in all price ranges, so the choice is up to you on what would look best in your unique bathroom.
You can choose from clear glass or acrylic shower stalls with accents and framework in chrome, stainless steel, brushed nickel, polished brass, or white finish depending on the interior design in your bathroom and the decor you are attempting to accomplish.
Polished brass accented showers will look nice in a more antique bathroom, while the intense shine of chrome works well with a contemporary design.
You can find a shower enclosure that fits precisely where your old shower enclosure fit, or you can get a little bigger or smaller one to accommodate floor space.
There are shower enclosures that will fit in the corner, in the center of the bathroom, or anywhere you want, so explore your options when you are considering this important focal fixture in your washroom.
You will probably be looking at your new enclosure for years to come, so you want to pick something that really "pops" for you and makes you happy.
The best part about new shower stalls is that they will really give your bathroom sparkle at half the cost of entirely new showers.
You can replace the old shower head as well, if you really want to complete the look, which shouldn't be that expensive.
The expensive part of a shower remodel is replacing the shower column, which usually requires the assistance of a plumber to help you with the water connections and you have to either pay for someone to install the shower column on the wall or do it yourself.
You can easily take the old shower enclosures out and replace them yourself, and no plumber or handyman is required! So go ahead and transform your bathroom into a new space that you will love by replacing those old shower stalls in your home.
This is a do-it-yourself home improvement project that you can do over the weekend, and you won't need specialty help to install your new shower stall.
The best part is that by not replacing complete showers, you can get the look of a brand new shower at half the cost, so you can do more than one of your bathrooms.
You'll be amazed at how new shower enclosures can really add sparkle to your bathrooms, and you won't have to spend a fortune to make this small upgrade with big impact.
