When you opt for a tub-to-shower conversion in Dana Point, you may be asking a few questions. The main one may be, how do you know you’re getting high-quality materials?
While most tub-to-shower conversions look stunning on day one, they may break down over time if poorly made materials are used.
Get the most out of your investment by understanding the differences between materials, determining the right bath area specialist for the job, and knowing what works best for your Orange County Area bathroom.
Installing your tub-to-shower conversion yourself may be tempting, but professional-grade materials far exceed the quality of materials sold in big box stores.
While the materials may look great in your local home improvement store's display, what happens after installation when they crack, discolor, or deteriorate? Then you’re stuck with a low-quality eyesore you’ll have to pay a professional to fix.
Skip the headache by going with premium materials the first time around. We proudly carry Bath Planet products at Shugarman’s Bath, which are rigorously tested to withstand daily wear and tear while maintaining their showroom-worthy appearance.
You may like the idea of traditional tilework, but do you love the idea of constant cleaning and maintaining grout? If the answer is no, you might consider a different material that’s easier to keep clean. Our stunning fiberglass and BP-Cor2 materials not only guarantee ease of cleaning but also hold up beautifully against wear and tear.
Ease of cleaning and the level of maintenance for your shower materials are especially important for homeowners who want to age in place in their Dana Point home.
With your tub-to-shower conversion, know your long-term goals for your bath area. Are you planning on aging in place? Does someone in your household have mobility issues? Then, consider a shower bench and grab bars for a safe yet comfortable shower experience.
One of the best ways to determine whether you have top-quality materials is to examine any warranties connected to them.
Warranties often show how confident a manufacturer and bath contractor are in their work. The materials themselves usually have a manufacturer’s warranty, which generally covers any defects in the material. Some manufacturers cover damage that occurs before a certain period of time.
Workmanship warranties are offered by the contractor completing the work, covering any mistakes made during installation. Avoid any products or companies offering no warranty or an inadequate warranty. If they don’t have confidence in the products, why should you?
At Shugarman’s Bath, our work is backed by our Lifetime Guarantee.
Even if you choose the best, most durable bath materials on the market, they won’t last long without precise, professional installation.
Many homeowners make the mistake of underestimating installation and end up with a DIY disaster, regardless of how great the materials are.
Don’t make the mistake of handling such a complex installation as a tub-to-shower conversion on your own. Any underlying damage in the wet area will cause your new walk-in shower to fail, and most homeowners lack the skills and experience to remedy the damage and ensure your walk-in shower is installed on a firm, flawless foundation.
Choosing the right bath area specialist is key to getting the very most out of your remodel.
For more than thirty years, Shugarman’s Bath has delivered exceptional bath area remodels throughout Orange County. Our customers can expect superior workmanship, courteous communication, and service that lasts beyond the final walkthrough.
