Elevate Your Bathroom Experience: Shower and Tub Upgrades Unveiled

Bathroom renovations can be complicated, especially with so many styles and designs to choose from. If you want luxury, you can elevate your bathroom renovation or existing bathroom by upgrading your shower and tub. 

Whether you’re looking for a focal point or you just want a spa experience, there are plenty of options for every budget and style. 

The Modern Oasis – Walk-In Showers

Embrace Convenience and Style 

Walk-in showers are growing in popularity because they deliver on style and function. From the trendy tile designs to frameless glass doors, there are varying aesthetics to choose from, and a walk-in shower can seamlessly integrate with any design. Walk-in showers deliver accessibility, and help contribute to an open aesthetic. 

Add a rainfall shower head, and not only will you be living in luxury, but potential buyers will be instantly drawn to your listing should you decide to sell in years to come. 

There are an endless number of designs and options that come with installing a walk-in shower. 

Timeless Elegance – Freestanding Tubs

Soak in Luxury and Style 

Freestanding tubs are a fantastic option for any style of bathroom, but they’re particularly wonderful for creating a stunning focal point in a larger space. A sophisticated tub can elevate your bathroom renovation in Sydney. 

The clawfoot freestanding tub is a classic, and it’s perfect for a more traditional style or if you’re looking to create an opulent look. 

Modern freestanding tubs come in many shapes, designs, and materials, whether you’re thinking about an oval stove tub, a rectangular acrylic tub or a composite tub with wavy lines.

Placement can make a difference. While a centrepiece placement is most common if you’re looking to create a dramatic focal point, you can opt for other placements if you’re looking to create a spa-like ambience. If there’s a large window, placing your tub there or a caddy corner are great options.

Indulgent Retreat – Spa-Like Features

Transform Your Bathroom Into a Relaxation Haven 

If you want to transform your bathroom into a home spa, there are plenty of features you can incorporate to achieve just that. Adjustable therapeutic jets are a must for targeted hydrotherapy, whether you prefer rotating or pulsating water streams. What could be more indulgent? 

Chromotherapy is great for setting the mood and inducing relaxation; it gives you a spa-like atmosphere, whether you’re sinking into a bubble bath or taking a relaxing shower. With adjustable features and various colours, these LED lights are perfect for any ambience. 

Up the spa touches with heated towel racks and smart shower controls to adjust temperature and flow. You can install aromatherapy diffusers with timers or smart controls, rainfall shower heads, steam showers, and built-in sound systems. 

Practical Considerations in Upgrading Showers and Tubs

Balancing Aesthetics with Functionality 

Before you upgrade your Sydney bathrooms, let’s cover some of the practical considerations involved in upgrading your showers and tubs. 

• Do you have the water pressure to sustain a high-powered shower head?
• Will your existing pipe placement support the new design, or will you need a plumber to install new pipes?
• Is the layout planned to maximise your space? Could you look at different fixtures for total optimisation?
• Have you selected materials that are durable, and easy to clean and maintain?
• Have you considered accessibility, whether it’s necessary for now or aging in place?
• Are there water-saving fixtures you can choose to conserve water and reduce your bill?

 The Crystal Bathrooms design team can help you maximise your layout and ensure the bathroom’s functionality. They can create a custom solution tailored specifically to your needs.

DIY vs. Professional Installation

Finding the Right Approach for Your Bathroom Renovation

 The Crystal Bathroom Renovations Sydney licensed team can complete your bathroom renovation from start to finish, which means easily managing your budget and delivering a consistently high quality of work. 

If you’re installing a new tub or shower, should you DIY it or opt for a professional installation? In New South Wales, waterproofing must be completed by a licensed professional. 

If your installation job doesn’t require waterproofing or plumbing work, you could save money by doing it yourself. 

DIY can be rewarding, and it does give you more control over the timeline and decisions. The potential for risk is high, though, especially if you aren’t experienced. Not only can the job take longer, but there could be warranty issues down the line. 

The professionals bring their tools and experience to tackle the job and will complete tasks quickly and at an expert level. They also typically offer a warranty or guarantee for their work. You can also expect the professionals to know the ins and outs of building codes and hold the necessary insurance and licenses. 

It might be more expensive to use a professional, but it offers more protection and a professional finish.
