AFTER

After: brushed nickel handheld shower on marble-look porcelain tile — Handheld shower on the marble-look walls.

The Challenge

This Cameron Park bathroom had an old tub-and-shower combination partly enclosed by a half wall, with dated fixtures and a single ceiling light. The homeowners wanted a walk-in shower that was easier to step into and looked current.

Our Solution

We removed the tub and rebuilt the space as a walk-in shower. The walls are large-format marble-look porcelain with a full-height hex marble mosaic accent wall, a recessed niche, and a brushed nickel handheld with a grab bar beside it. A frameless sliding glass door on a top-mounted track encloses the shower without a bulky frame.

Questions About This Cameron Park Project

Why an accent wall instead of tiling every wall the same?

A single wall of hex marble mosaic gives the shower a focal point without the cost of mosaic on all three walls. The other walls are large-format marble-look porcelain, which has fewer grout lines and is quicker to clean.

Is a frameless sliding door better than a hinged door?

It depends on the bathroom. A sliding door needs no swing clearance, so it suits a shower that faces a toilet or vanity. Frameless glass on a top-mounted track also has no bottom track to collect water and grime.
