Bathtub or Shower? That is the Question.

Now that you’ve decided to remodel your bathroom, it’s time to choose whether you want a bathtub or a shower. There are lots of things to consider before making a decision and we don’t recommend jumping to conclusions prematurely. Think about the below long and hard because after all, you spend lots of time in the bathroom whether it’s getting ready for work in the morning or relaxing before bed after a long day.

Bathtubs:

• Pros
• Allows you to give your feet and your legs a rest after being up and moving around all day.
• Soaking in warm water can do wonders for your body and your mind.
• Are known to be a natural way to induce sleep.
• Can attract families with young children who are looking to buy your home.
• Cons
• Use more water than showers.
• Take up lots of space in the bathroom.
• More difficult to clean.
• Can be difficult for children and the elderly to access.

Showers:

• Pros
• Save roughly 50 gallons of water with each use compared to a bathtub.
• Easy to clean.
• Provides a sleek, modern look and atmosphere.
• Makes washing body and hair easier.
• Cons
• Lacks the relaxation factor.
• More prone to slip and fall accidents.
• More likely to lean onto the floor when opening the door or if improperly sealed.

Bathroom remodeling can be a stressful and expensive process, especially if you try to do it yourself. You need a company that you can trust to convert your old, dingy bathroom into something that you will be proud to use. That's where we come in. Call the pros at Re-Bath of Richmond today to find out how we can help!

Shower Doors vs. Shower Curtains

Glass shower doors or waterproof fabric, that is the question. Homeowners often find themselves faced with this dilemma when it comes to the shower area and let’s be honest, there’s a bunch of benefits to both options. So, which is the right choice for your bathroom? We’re going to lay out some of the pros and cons below:

Glass Shower Doors

If very little maintenance and a clean, contemporary look is what you’re going for glass shower doors are the perfect choice. They’re relatively easy to clean - a little warm water and vinegar goes a long way - and they can transform the entire look and feel of your bathroom.

A full shower enclosure also eliminates the risk of water escaping and making the floor slippery and it’s a wonderful way to utilize tricky or oddly-shaped spaces.

Shower Curtains

On the other hand, a fabric shower curtain can add personality and flair in a bathroom that might be lacking these characteristics otherwise. They do require a bit more maintenance - you’ll have to throw them in with a load of laundry every so often - but the variety of shapes, patterns and colors are just about endless.

If it’s more space you’re looking for, curved shower curtain rods are available which will give you a bit more space to lather up and clean off.

Both options can take your bathroom to the next level and after all, you spend lots of time in this room of the house so why not spruce it up a little?

Shower ​Curtain or Shower Doors?​

Some people prefer shower curtains, while others like shower doors. No one is right or wrong. It is simply a matter of taste.
