Homeowners planning a bathroom remodel often assume they must choose between two extremes: an economical shower surround from a home improvement store or a fully customized tile shower with a significantly higher price tag.
Fortunately, there is another option.
Bestbath shower systems offer homeowners a practical middle ground, combining durability, attractive design, easier maintenance and greater customization than many standard big-box store models—without the labor and expense associated with traditional custom tile work.
Unlike lightweight, entry-level fiberglass surrounds, Bestbath systems are constructed for long-term use. Their reinforced composite materials provide a substantial, durable surface designed to stand up to the demands of an everyday bathroom.
The systems are available in a variety of wall patterns and finishes, allowing homeowners to achieve the look of tile while avoiding the maintenance that often comes with grout. Depending on the design, decorative accent strips, contrasting finishes, shower doors, shelving and accessories can be incorporated to create a more personalized result.
For homeowners who enjoy the appearance of tile but not the upkeep, this can be an especially appealing solution. Fewer grout lines mean less scrubbing, sealing and concern about discoloration or mildew developing over time.
Installation can also be more efficient than building a custom tile shower from the ground up. Traditional tile work requires multiple stages, including waterproofing, preparation, setting tile, grouting and curing. A professionally installed composite shower system reduces many of those steps, which can help control both labor costs and the length of the remodeling project.
Bestbath is not intended to replace custom tile in every bathroom. For a homeowner seeking a highly individualized luxury shower, intricate tile patterns or specialty materials, custom tile may still be the best choice.
However, many homeowners simply want a shower that feels more refined than an off-the-shelf unit, performs reliably and works within a realistic remodeling budget. In those situations, a Bestbath system can provide an attractive balance of style, value and convenience.
The most successful bathroom remodel is not necessarily the one with the highest price tag. It is the one that thoughtfully balances appearance, durability, maintenance, accessibility and budget.
Working with an experienced remodeling professional can help homeowners compare the options and select a shower system that fits both the way they want their bathroom to look and the way they need it to function.
