Tubs and Showers

Choosing the right bathtub or shower can be a big decision when remodeling your bathroom.

Do you want a tub/shower combination or separate facilities? Separating the two provides more comfort and convenience, but this may not be possible in a small bathroom. If you don’t have room for both, you might want to buy a prefabricated unit or plan a custom design.

Prefabricated acrylic or fiberglass units begin at about $200. A shower door may cost $180 or more. More expensive units starting at about $300 have a fiberglass base and glass walls. These units come in many different styles, sizes, and shapes.

Bathtubs also come in many different designs, beginning with the old-fashioned freestanding model that sits on a raised platform. The standard recessed tub has three walls fronted with a skirt. A 5-foot recessed tub made of enameled steel sells for about $100. A fiberglass unit costs about $120. An enameled cast-iron bathtub runs about $220.
