Fishtown Walk-In Shower Questions

1How long does a walk-in shower installation take?

The answer is "it depends." They are referred to as a one-day installation" which is accurate for actual installation of the Fishtown shower, once the space is prepared. However, you never 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 Fishtown. These can sometimes take 1-2 full weeks depending on the complexity, materials, and size chosen.

2How much does a walk-in shower installation cost in Fishtown?
The Best Bath shower typically can range from $8,000-$14,000 in Fishtown 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.
3Do I need to replace plumbing for a walk-in shower in Fishtown?
Typically, 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.
4Can my Fishtown walk-in shower be installed in a small bathroom?
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 previously. 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.
5What's the difference between a walk-in shower and curbless shower?
A walk-in shower is a stall shower that has a minor step or curb that you have to step over. In Fishtown, they're usually anywhere from 2-6 inches in height. Curbless showers have a seamless beveled edge or transition that is flush with the rest of the bathroom floor with no curb to step over.
6Are walk-in showers good for aging in place in Fishtown?
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 get into the shower area.
7What type of tile is best for Fishtown walk-in showers?
You can choose any type of tile you like for shower walls in Fishtown homes. If you choose to go with a tiled shower floor, small format tiles are typically best as they can adjust easily to the slope of the floor since shower floors are not flat surfaces.
8Can walk-in showers increase home value in Fishtown?
They certainly can! More people in Fishtown are switching to walk-in showers for a multitude 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 your bathroom is small. If you have an older, outdated bathroom, it gives you the opportunity to refresh the design and build a shower that is both more practical and aesthetically pleasing.
9Can you install a glass enclosure with a walk-in shower in Fishtown?
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 a curbless shower, 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 Fishtown.
10Do Fishtown walk-in showers require special waterproofing?
Every shower needs to be water proof. The Best Bath walk-in showers we install in Fishtown have no need for additional waterproofing after installation. Water cannot get through the fiberglass panel or shower pan, 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.
