Fairmount Walk-In Showers

Question

1How long do walk-in shower installations take?

Answer 1

The answer is "it depends." They are referred to as a one-day installation" which is true for actual installation of the Fairmount shower, once the space is prepped. However, you don't know what you will find behind the walls of an older shower after demolition. Things could be unlevel, there could be mold, or ancient plumbing that needs to be entirely changed out. In the worst case scenario, the most it would take is three days.

Compare this to a custom walk-in tiled shower in Fairmount. These can sometimes take a week to two full weeks depending on the complexity, materials, and size chosen.

Answer 2

The Best Bath shower typically ranges from $8,000-$14,000 in Fairmount based off your personal customizations and prep of the shower cavity for the install. The plumbing, location in the building, shipping, and type of shower door/enclosure can all affect this.

Answer 3

Usually, when someone gets a new shower, it is a great time to replace the shower diverter or hot/cold valve and shower head. That and the drain are usually the only items to replace.

Answer 4

Yes! A Best Bath walk-in shower system or tile shower can be customized to fit in a bathroom or space that has had a shower in it before. You can also add a shower to a powder room or half bath, but keep in mind there is much more labor, materials, and formatting involved that could affect the price and length of the job.

Answer 5

Walk-in showers are stall showers that have a minor curb or step that you have to step over. In Fairmount, they're usually anywhere from 2-6 inches in height. A curbless shower has a seamless beveled edge or transition that is flush with the rest of the bathroom floor with no curb to step over.

Answer 6

Walk-in showers are perfect for aging in place. Curbless showers are even better if a need for a wheelchair or walker is ever needed to enter your shower. Compare this to a tub shower, where you need to step over the side of the tub to enter the shower area.

Answer 7

You can choose any type of tile you like for shower walls in Fairmount homes. If you choose to go with a tiled shower floor, small format tiles are usually best as they can adjust easily to the slope of the floor since shower floors are not flat surfaces.

Answer 8

They certainly can! More people in Fairmount have been switching to walk-in showers for a lot of reasons. Less and less people are taking baths to clean themselves. Walk-in showers can open up bathroom spaces to make them feel larger if you have a small bathroom. If you have an older, outdated bathroom, it gives you a chance to refresh the design and build a shower that is both more practical and aesthetically pleasing.

Answer 9

Yes, we can. If you get a walk-in shower that has a curb, it is very easy to install any kind of shower door or glass enclosure. With curbless showers, it depends on if you go with a tiled one or one of Best Bath's curbless shower pans. Either way, you can enclose it. We offer flexible options on walk-in showers and curbless showers in Fairmount.

Answer 10

Every shower needs to be water proof. The Best Bath walk-in showers we install in Fairmount have no need for additional waterproofing after installation. Water cannot get through the shower pan or fiberglass panel, even in the creases or the corners. A tiled shower needs an entire waterproofing system in place that can take days alone to get right before you start tiling.
