Before you begin a remodel, you will first need to choose a style of tub or shower. The type of tub or shower that will work best for your needs will ultimately revolve around your preferences and the current condition of your bathroom. Your current bathroom will affect the overall process;  some remodels will be relatively simple and quick, whereas other remodels will require a more extensive process. Other factors, such as available space and budget, may also affect your decisions and what we are able to accomplish.

To help you better understand the different kinds of tubs and showers, here is a brief breakdown of a few of the most popular types:

Tub Remodel Types:

• Alcove Tubs: Alcove tubs are one of the most common types of bathtubs; these tubs are surrounded by three walls, which puts the tub in an alcove. These tubs work great for bathrooms with limited space. Moreover, this tub type is also fairly low maintenance. 
  
  
• Freestanding Tubs: Freestanding tubs are tubs that are not attached to anything except the floor or a platform. These tubs can be placed anywhere in a bathroom that a tub drain can be placed, so they offer homeowners plenty of flexibility. Furthermore, these tubs typically provide a luxurious aesthetic, a style that has become increasingly popular over the years.  If you're looking for inspiration, check out these offerings from our friends at Save More Plumbing in Surrey!
  
  
• Walk-in Tubs: Walk-in tubs are tubs that contain a door and a seat. These are perfect for anyone who needs a more accessible tub and shower design, anyone who wishes for better safety features, or anyone who wants hydrotherapy benefits. Moreover, walk-in tubs are quite versatile, so homeowners have a wide range of options to choose from. 

Shower Remodel Types:

• Walk-in Shower: Like walk-in tubs, walk-in showers are great for those who need their bathroom fixtures to be more accessible. These showers have either low curbs or no curb at all, which makes them much easier to get in and out of. They are also generally easier to clean, which is another feature that can greatly benefit those with limited mobility. Finally, these showers are built to fit into whatever space is available in a bathroom, so you won’t have to worry about how to fit the shower in. 
  
  
• Shower-Bathtub Hybrid: Shower-bathtub hybrids are showers that double as a bathtub. If limited space is a factor, then these shower hybrids are the perfect combination. You can receive the benefits of having both a tub and shower in half the space! Shower-bathtub hybrids are also one of the more affordable options, so if budget is a factor, these hybrids are a fantastic choice.
  
  
• Waterfall Shower: Waterfall showers are showers with a showerhead that is attached to the ceiling of a shower. These shower types offer a more relaxing, peaceful environment. These showers also typically cover a much wider area than regular showerheads do. The relaxing, luxurious feel of a waterfall shower is what makes this shower type a popular option for many homeowners.
