"The shower curtain rod was hung too high that the curtain could not stop water from going all over floor. I made a point of giving them the curtain to make sure the rod was installed properly but he merely eyeballed it instead of measuring the wall to be accurate. It was just a standard curtain! I made them correct the height which left a couple of holes in the shower wall that is noticeable. The cap on the end of the shower rod was not put on correctly and just hung on the rod. They did nothing about the gap in the floor molding after removing my tub, so that the edge of the vinyl floor and raw wood floor was showing. I made them fix it with caulk but did a quick sloppy job of it on the one side. There is now a good size purple stain on my vinyl floor from a chemical they allowed to spill on it, the flooring is only a year old! The new knob fell off in my hand the first time I turned on the water. The shower pan is not deep enough to allow a shower curtain to stop the water from going on the bathroom floor. The new hand held shower is too short to use because the shower head is so high. I have had to go shopping for a longer one. I paid enough money that it should have been a perfect or near perfect job, but it was not."

"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."

Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts

You can find out what type of shower valve you have by checking the manufacturer’s name and the valve’s serial number or model number. That information should be located on the back of the shower trim. You can use the name and number to do a quick online search to figure out which type of shower valve you have.

Shower arms come in a standard size with ½-inch NPT, but designs vary. The height of the water supply pipe and the showerhead height you want affect the type of shower arm you should choose. For example, a water outlet that’s located close to the ceiling would be suitable for a standard shower arm (small extension with a slight downward angle) or a straight arm model. Outlets situated lower in the shower allow for gooseneck shower arms, which can raise the showerhead's height.

Most modern showers have a prefabricated base made from fiberglass or plastic, such as acrylic or polyurethane. Nonetheless, concrete mortar is still the traditional, go-to base for a custom walk-in shower.

You’ll need to add a waterproofing liner or membrane between the layers of mortar to keep moisture out. From there, you can top it with whatever type of tile you like to create a spa-like custom look. Be sure to include these considerations in your budget for the cost of a walk-in shower.

When choosing between fiberglass and acrylic for a shower, your budget and preferences are key factors. Fiberglass is generally more affordable and lightweight, but it may be more prone to scratches, dullness, and cracking over time. Acrylic is more durable, flexible, and scratch-resistant, and it tends to retain its shine longer. While slightly more expensive, acrylic is available in a wider variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and finishes. It is also generally easier to repair if damaged. For shower bases specifically, acrylic is less likely to crack than fiberglass, but as long as either type is installed and supported correctly, it should not chip or crack prematurely.

Roll-in showers are worth the investment, especially for homeowners who want accessibility and style from a bathroom upgrade. They feature barrier-free entries ideal for wheelchair users and people of all ages. They also maximize bathroom and shower space and provide a seamless flow between the shower and the rest of the bathroom, fitting modern, open-concept designs. You can customize them by adding benches, grab bars, and other accessibility or luxury options. 

Whether you’re preparing your home for aging in place, love the look of streamlined showers, or want to increase your home’s ROI, these showers are an excellent choice.
