Before & After

BEFORE

AFTER

After: Auburn bathroom with new acrylic shower, frosted glass barn-door, new toilet and wood-look vinyl flooring — The full bathroom after — soffit removed, wider shower opening and new wood-look flooring.

After: Auburn bathroom wider angle showing acrylic shower with frosted sliding glass door, live-edge wood shelf and new toilet — Wider view with a live-edge wood shelf framing the entry.

After: Auburn acrylic shower interior from above showing marbled walls, shower caddy and dark shower head — Looking down into the shower: the seamless acrylic walls have no grout to clean.

The Challenge

The existing shower was boxed in by a soffit that kept the ceiling low and the stall narrow. The old tile grout was stained and the textured glass door was hard to see through or clean.

Our Solution

We removed the soffit to gain ceiling height and widened the shower opening. Seamless acrylic surround walls replaced the tile — no grout joints means virtually zero maintenance. A frosted glass barn-door sliding system keeps the look clean and modern. New wood-look vinyl plank flooring, a new toilet and updated fixtures complete the refresh.

Questions About This Auburn Project

What is the advantage of acrylic shower walls over tile?

Acrylic has no grout joints, so there is nothing to stain, crack or re-seal. The panels wipe clean with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Installation is also faster because there is no setting time for mortar or grout.

Does removing a soffit require a permit?

It depends on whether the soffit conceals structural framing, ductwork or wiring. In Auburn, work that alters framing typically requires a building permit. Your contractor will verify what is inside the soffit before demolition.

Can a frosted glass door replace a shower curtain?

Yes. A frosted glass barn-door slides on an exposed track and provides privacy while keeping water inside the shower. It is easier to clean than a fabric curtain and does not need replacing.
