4 Reasons to Update Your Shower

March 23, 2023

Most of us update our things — cars, smartphones, furniture — every few years. It only follows that parts of the house, such as the shower, need an update every once in a while. In today’s post, Bath Planet of Boston takes a look at the reasons why you should update your shower.

  1. Improve its water and energy efficiency. New shower fixtures may help you save on your utility bills. ENERGY STAR®-certified water fixtures can help you save on your heating bills, while a WaterSense labeled shower head may help reduce your water consumption thanks to low-flow options. They help you save on water either by forcing the water through smaller holes, creating a high-pressure flow, or by aerating the water in the shower head. Either way, they help reduce the rate the water flows through the shower head.
  2. Reduce maintenance requirements. Cleaning the bathroom is not exactly everyone’s favorite chore, but needs to be done. Fortunately, newer materials and fixtures have low maintenance requirements. This means you’ll need fewer cleaning supplies and less elbow grease to keep your bathroom clean.
  3. Improve its looks and features. If you’re not looking forward to taking a shower, then you have to do something to make your shower space look more appealing. New fixtures and a new color palette are often enough to give it a makeover, but don’t stop there. A new glass enclosure, heated flooring and even a smart shower system can make taking a shower the most exciting part of your day-to-day activities.
  4. Make the bathroom safer and more accessible. It never hurts to future-proof your shower, especially if you consider your home as your domicile for your later years. Non-slip flooring, grab bars and fixtures with anti-scald features can dramatically improve safety in the shower. A curbless shower has little to no change in elevation at its entrance, which makes it easier for members of your household to get in and out of the shower without stepping over a high threshold.

Three great projects!

Ken L.
We had three projects just completed in our home. A shower replacement, a bathtub/shower replacement and an oversized bathtub converted to a large shower. Our installer was Matt Collins who did an outstanding job!! He was very skilled in the whole demolition and reconstruction process. We highly recommend Bath Planet and especially Matt Collins for a beautiful bathroom upgrade!!

Great Craftsmanship.

Donna N.
This was the best sales experience I’ve ever had. So very nice. Informative. So many options. I see value in every inch. You cannot beat the value and beauty of this anywhere.

FANTASTIC WORK!!!

Robert M.
Joel David & Jackson did an Excellent professional job of installing New Acrylic Shower with bench & 3 Grab Bars. They lowered the entrance way by 4 inches and opened the doorway by 6 inches, making it much more “user friendly”. Both were very skilled and did an excellent job of high craftsmanship. Installed a new shower head and faucet to complete the job.
