Shower Base
Is this your first time ever getting a shower remodeled in Milwaukee? Well, you’re not by yourself, and many homeowners in the area always wonder whether or not they can afford it and whether it’s completely necessary to do an entire shower renovation.
They may have even considered trying to do it on their own but, the truth is, when doing something as serious as a shower remodel, having a professional develop the renovation is the best choice to make. This is because there may be so many underlying problems that the average homeowner couldn’t fix properly. But an experienced bathroom contractor could assist them by doing an in-depth job that’ll be long-lasting, and give that homeowner the peace of mind of knowing that the internal problems are now gone for good.
Some of the problems you could find that are reoccurring in your shower may come about as you regularly use it to bathe. For example, does the water seemingly move down your drain too slowly? Does the water come up as you’re showering, and instead of exiting through the drain it rises up above your ankles?
Lots of homeowners seeking shower remodels in Milwaukee, will see just this type of thing happening. And, although there may be plumbing issues, there may also be problems with your shower base as well.
Your shower base is not the thing that you physically stand on while you’re in the shower. That’s either your shower tile flooring or your shower pan, which covers up the shower base. Your shower base is a concrete bed that’s slanted so that water goes down into the drain like it is supposed to.
Some contractors (and some plumbers) will patch up a job like this without getting to the root of the problem, and continuously charging you for labor each time they visit your home. You would have come out a lot better price-wise when comparing those repeat invoices (shower “patch-up” job fees) to what the total cost to remodel a shower completely would be. Not only will the problem be fixed with a one-time thorough full renovation, but the headache of having to deal with those issues over and over will be gone.
Shower Pans
Like the shower base, your shower pan also contributes to the flow of water towards the drain as you shower. Still, there’s no need to try and hide an underlying problem with your concrete shower base by buying a brand new shower pan to cover it up.
But, if your shower base is squared away, then there are lots of different choices as far as designs and colors and styles of shower pans that you can choose from depending on the shape and size of your shower area.
Shower Tile
The shower tile that you choose for your shower remodel in Milwaukee will be both for the floor as well as the shower wall in most renovations. Remember that you’ll be living with this new type of tile for years to come, and it is always recommended that you converse with others in the household whenever necessary before making a solid decision.
One of the most popular kinds for the shower area is rock tile, which is easy to maintain and is absolutely lovely within a new shower setting. Pebble rock tile are used on shower floors many times because of the fact that they give an automatic type of traction, which prevents the chance of someone slipping in the shower.
Sometimes, a homeowner will decide to bring some pebble tile up on the walls of the shower as well, maybe with a surrounding similar shade of slate tile, which is also rock. That solid slate tile along the walls with traces of stone pebbles will always be a very attractive style in places such as Milwaukee WI, where most of the residents love lakes and the great outdoors. These pebble styles can go from darker ones such as the Black River Rock shower floor tiles to the many other rustic modern home styles.
Shower Doors & Glass
There are so many different styles of shower doors, and the one you choose should depend on how much space in the bathroom that you have to work with. If you don’t have a lot of space one, of the suggestions that we give is that you consider sliding shower doors.
They are a little more expensive than hinged doors that open like regular house doors. But if you have a small bathroom remodel with limited space, then it’s important to consider how much room is immediately outside of that glass shower door, because it’ll be swinging out. You don’t want to risk letting it swing open and possibly banging it on something such as an open bathroom vanity cabinet door or drawer, for example.
Shower Seating & Benches
Being that so many folks looking for shower remodels in Milwaukee love that country rustic style, the perfect compliment would be a wooden bench within the shower. Some folks may see these benches as extra or unnecessary shower appliances that seemingly get in the way while you are in the shower. But, when they look at the fact that they could easily let us mount lovely shower seating on the walls, (with the ability to fold the seat up and out of the way when it’s not being used), those homeowners realize that shower seating is a wonderful addition to your overall bathroom remodel.
Shower Support Rails
Shower support rails are not something that are mandatory. But, being that they are generally inexpensive and barely affect your total shower remodel cost in Milwaukee, most homeowners simply say “Why not?” when we ask them whether or not they are considering shower support rails.
It’s a safety feature that you just can’t go wrong with, and you can stylishly coordinate these support rails to match with other things in the shower, like the knobs, door hinges and other accessories.
Shower Appliances
As with your shower support rails, your style of shower head, hot and cold knobs, the shower door and glass, and all of the other accessories should coordinate very well not only within the shower itself, but over the entire bathroom layout. These shower appliances will regularly come in sets, so it’s not hard to match things up beforehand.
