Shower Base
Many of the folks who call us for bathroom renovations in Reno have homes that may have been built sometimes two or three decades ago. We’ve even seen cases where they’ve had bathrooms that had next to nothing done to them since they were initially constructed. That being said, it may need to be determined whether or not you need a new shower base, which is not to be confused with a shower pan. The shower base is the cement martyr that is under your shower pan that helps drain water to the drain.
Shower Pans
Your shower pan will sit over your shower base, and will preferably match and coordinate with the rest of the colors and designs of your bathroom renovation. The shower pan also helps water get to the drain, and depending on the size and style of your actual shower the drain can either sit on the right, the left, or the middle of the shower pan.
Sometimes when we get called for bathroom renovations in Reno, homeowners will make the shower the main focus of the entire bathroom. Other times, folks will want to keep their same bathroom tub style that they had before. There are shower pans that take the shape of a bathroom tub as well, and you can keep your same style that you had before if that’s your preference. If you are not the only person who is going to be using that bathroom shower, then it’s good to talk with your family beforehand to agree on just the type of shower and shower pan that you want to be using.
Shower Tile
When you look at the tiles on your shower walls, do you have trouble keeping those white lines in between them clean? These lines are called grout, and it is used to fill up gaps in between tile and act as a dense reinforcing agent. When your bathroom shower tiles were first put in, this sand cement and water mixture was what was used.
Aside from eliminating that problem of old grout, allowing our Professional Bathroom Contractors to install brand new shower tiles for you will bring an instant new glow not only to the shower area but to the entire bathroom. Your shower remodel cost in Reno will be determined by this main part of the installation, and there are lots of different types of shower tile to choose from.
For instance, have you considered having rock tile installed for your shower renovation? It’s one of the most used by homeowners in Reno, being that this type of tile brings an outdoors feeling to the shower. The shower tile that you use on the floor should be something that is slip resistant, and smaller mosaic tile is good for this.
Shower Doors & Glass
After explaining to us all of their bathroom shower problems, homeowners will sometimes ask us what’s the cost to remodel a shower that’s in desperate need of a renovation. They are always surprised at their options, and sometimes realize that a quote they received before we gave them our free estimate was several thousand more dollars than the final monetary figure we came up with.
Your shower door and glass will be a large portion of the cost to remodel a shower in Reno, and there are lots of kinds to choose from. You may want a folded shower door or one that is sliding, for example. And, you may want fogged shower glass or clear, depending on your taste and style preference.
If you ask their advice, some bathroom remodeling contractors will only show you the most expensive options when it comes to things like bathroom shower doors and glass. But, we at Reno Bathroom Remodel will take the time to show you various options that you may want to consider when developing your plan for your upcoming bathroom shower renovation(s).
Shower Seating & Benches
Some homeowners don’t even consider having shower seating and benches installed when we do their installations at their home. In fact, in many cases with bathroom remodels in Reno, a homeowner will not even decide to have it installed until the new shower is almost completed! This is because of the fact that the shower renovation itself is already one of the priciest things in the entire bathroom remodel, and homeowners also sometimes think that they are unnecessary, an unneeded accessory for their shower remodel.
While a person can survive without having shower seating and benches, they are such a lovely and low-cost addition to the shower that after seeing how affordable they are, many homeowners simply can’t resist! It’s also worth it to say that your shower is not too small to have seating in it. We’re experienced with installing things like corner seating that can sometimes only take up a little over a foot of space.
Shower Support Rails
Lots of folks don’t appreciate their shower support rails until that one day when they slip in the shower and need something to grab on to! Of course, nobody plans to slip in the shower, but the truth is we’ve all experienced it at one time or another, and shower support rails are great for maintaining balance while you shower.
Shower Appliances
One of the best things about shower appliances when it comes down to the cost to remodel a shower is that they most of the time come in sets. So, whether you want stainless steel shower heads and shower support rails, or if you want jet black hand shower nozzles and knobs, these shower appliances normally aren’t that expensive, and look great in the shower when they’re color coordinated with everything else in the bathroom.
Shower Remodel Cost
Your shower remodel cost in Reno will not only depend on the items you choose for us to install, but also how much time that you spend before we do the remodel to make solid decisions. When we sit down with you to conduct your free estimate, we ask that you be open and transparent about your wants and needs and your new shower, so that we can calculate the price that’s best for you.
