My contractor recommended a cultured marble shower for an upcoming reno, as opposed to a tiled shower. I can’t find a ton of info about them. Anyone have experience with these, or any tips? Will be visiting a vendor soon but trying to research as much as I can.
Just bought a house and here's the powder room. Looks pretty good to me - would you change the pulls or is it a decent contrast?
Any changes worth making?
What are your suggestions for upgrading this bathroom? Leave the pink??
Should I change the tiles?
Yet to epoxy the floor.
My old house had a shower /tub combo but the new house has separate shower and I’m concerned about this glass panel. If I bump into it it feels like it could easily fall off. I’ve never had this kind of shower before. Is this type of mount normal where the glass is only held on by 3 corners?
Has anyone reinforced their shower glass by attaching it to the ceiling ? That would make me feel a lot better about bumping into it.
We just wrapped up the bulk of a massive renovation project across two bathrooms, and are beyond impressed with how it all turned out.
Master Bedroom Ensuite + Closets
We took out the closet entirely, gutted the bathroom to rearrange the plumbing to give us an additional shower. We rebuilt the load bearing wall on the right side of this bathroom to accommodate a flush mounted medicine cabinet that fills the bulk of the wall - giving us loads of storage, and making the room feel much larger.
As the back and left walls of the ensuite are both exterior walls, and we wanted to add plumbing controls, I had the idea to do a 45° corner piece to mount the controls. It actually makes the operation of the controls from outside of the shower much more comfortable before you step in, and flows to match the width of the slab we had selected.
The closet here was very interesting. We removed that little entryway to the ensuite and extended the bathroom to be in line with the closets, and then hid the access to the ensuite behind what appears to be another closet door. We have several hidden doors inside our home, so this felt very on-brand. We optimized the closet storage compared to the older mirrored bifold doors, and ended up with more usable closet space in a smaller footprint - and giving us a much larger bathroom to boot.
Main Bathroom
This renovation was much more straightforward. We replaced the vanity with custom cabinetry in a really nice walnut veneer, and optimized the storage to give us a linen closet (which we did not previously have). These cabinets have the same wood and quartz as the ones in the ensuite to help maintain continuity throughout the house.
We tore out the old shower and added a bathtub, with a little ledge-mounted tub filler that was a bit unconventional, but very functional and comfortable to use. The ledge is made from the same quartz as the countertops used in both bathrooms.
My first ever remodel. I love it but maybe it’s not for everyone?
Having our bathroom remodeled and they finished the shower tiling last week and just installed the fixtures today. Turned it on for 30 seconds to test and there’s water pooling about 2 feet around the shower drain, it’s been 2.5 hours and its still a puddle. About 1/4” you can splash. You can see where the wet tiles are in the photo and reflection from overhead light in the puddle.
They had used a roll out rubber membrane that’s got sandwiched between two parts of the drain and then put some sort of self leveling on top of the membrane which dried before doing the mortar and tiles and said it was leveled properly.
Is this an acceptable amount of pooling or should I ask for it to be redone, and if it needs to be redone can they just pull up the 12x12 tile grids (it came in a sheet) that are low or does entire floor need to be pulled up?? What’s the best way to correct it?
Thank you!
So I bought this house recently. This master bathroom was renovated maybe 10 years ago, nothing feels mismatched per se, however, it just seems off. Im pretty sure it's the wall colour, but I'm afraid of ruining the scheme by touching anything.
Never got around to posting this here. Flooded in Hurricane Helene and had to remodel the whole house. Layout of the bathroom is the same as before, but everything else is new.
We have light wood throughout the home, with all metals in a gold tone so it vibes well with the rest of the house.
We have a 2 bath home and this is the small bathroom.
Helping my active octogenarian mom remodel her bathroom. The ai renders make it look a lot bigger than it is! Shower is about 53"x32" and rest of bathroom is 74"x32". It's cramped! Also, no natural lighting.
Her decorating style is pretty conservative and I'm trying to keep that in mind while I try to give it a "spa" feel. She likes the concept I've created. We are on a small-medium budget.
The vanity is a little bit lighter than the renderings. I tried to make it lighter in the second pic but I think it's a little lighter than that.
In the shower, we're going with a glass panel with an open area for walk-in. She didn't want curbless, so we'll do a low-profile curb.
AI added the recessed lighting, and she'll only use the light on the medicine cabinet when she's doing make up. Also the placement of some of the shower fixtures looks wonky in these images; we'll align them better in real life. My questions:
I'll put my materials in the comment section to keep this post shorter! Thanks in advance!
Planning to remodel the powder room. We removed our old tiles and found the floor like this where we have space at the edge after removing the side board.
My questions are:
I generated this bathroom using Gemini. The left side is intended to be a double vanity with a lower makeup area in between the two. The bottom part near the pony wall is the bench and will be inside the shower, with the pony wall being all the same tile. We also won’t have any of that fancy ceiling detailing and will just have a plain flat ceiling.
I’m thinking of getting a brighter shower tile and floor tile, but what do you all think? We chose this current vanity cabinet and stone color.
Does this look like a correct installation? I know they only set water test to half height but looking at the corners.
Hello,
I want to convert this hinged shower door to a rolling shower door. I am having a hard time finding a conversion kit to assist with the project. Will it have to be custom made?
I had a couple hairline cracks on my tub and accidentally removed some of the clear coating in the surrounding area. I used JB water weld for the repair. I do know that I accidentally exposed a crack while sanding. I'm asking how concerned should I be that some of the clear coat is gone and quickly does it need fixed?
