If you’re considering a shower remodel for your Fort Worth home, you may think it will break the bank. And it can be true if you decide to go the luxury shower route. But if you’re just looking to upgrade your shower, there are several cost-effective things you can do to save money on a custom shower remodel. Read to learn more about our cost-savings tips.
The cost of goods is rising, along with labor. This means plumbing costs are getting more expensive instead of less as skilled plumbers and contractors are being well compensated for their skills. One of the ways to save on shower remodel costs is to keep your toilet and shower in the same place. However, you could consider updating the plumbing, as it can be cost effective and make a big impact.
One costly mistake made in shower remodels is using a shower pan with a tall curb, which does not work for a family member with mobility issues. Consider choosing a low-profile shower as they look sleek and stylish and can help save on unwanted hospital stays if a loved one trips and falls on their way in.
While linear drains can quickly move water from a shower floor plan, they cost hundreds of dollars more than a custom shower pan with a standard two-inch drain. Instead of splurging on a new drain, you can put the money you would have spent towards upgrading your shower fixtures, wall panels, or shower door.
Custom tile shower designs are limitless. But while intricate tile designs are fun, they require a high skill level to create and need an experienced craftsman/craftswomen to install. This essentially means that they don’t come cheap. In addition, they are costly to maintain, especially if you do all the cleaning yourself.
However, there is a solution if you like intricate tile designs without high costs. You can choose laminate shower walls to get fun designs while eliminating grout jobs and expensive labor installation costs.
While a frosted glass shower door can reduce spotting, purchasing a clear glass shower door will help keep your costs down. Frosted glass shower doors typically cost $150 to $600 more than a clear shower door, which provides unobstructed views of your stylist tile or grout-free wall panels.
However, if you have a gold rimmed glass door, consider swapping it out for a new shower door to open up your layout even further.
Pivoting doors may not be the right solution for every shower remodel in Fort Worth, but they are worth considering because they are less expensive. This is because they need less hardware than sliding or bypass shower doors, which helps keep overall costs down.
