Shower Base
With most shower remodels in Irvine, we’ve found over the years that many of the homes in this beautiful area of California have not been built very long ago. In fact, in many cases, they’ve been constructed less than ten years ago.
Still, we at Irvine Bathroom Remodeling get hundreds of requests for free estimates annually, and most of the homeowners want to know what the cost to remodel a shower in this area is. One of the first things we tell them is that it’s going to depend on whether or not any work needs to be done to their shower base.
The shower base is the concrete slab underneath your shower that you don’t see, but that is ultimately responsible for getting all of the water down into the drain. Again, being that many of the homes in Irvine are generally newly built, shower bases in this area don’t normally come into play when determining a shower remodel cost in Irvine. However, if you’ve been experiencing any problems with the water draining or things of that nature, then please let our skillful bathroom contractors know, because it may or may not be a problem with the shower base.
Shower Pans
Your shower remodel cost in Irvine, California is going to depend on a few things, one of them being your choice of shower pan. The good news is that normally shower pans don’t cost that much, and come in lots of different sizes and shapes to meet the measurements of the type of shower that you want us to install. For example, you may have a corner shower in which you would need what is called a neo angle base.
Your shower pan choice would also depend on whether or not you decide that you’d like to keep your bathroom shower that used to have a tub, in which there is a shower base for that type of shower too. There’s also always the option of having the shower and tub separated from one another. If this is on your mind, be sure to inform our skillful bathroom remodel contractors during your free estimate session.
Shower Tile
Shower tile is one of the most thought over decisions when it comes to those homeowners who are planning to get shower remodels in Irvine. And, rock tile is an Asian style that many of the locals enjoy, although we get requests for all different types of tile.
Rock tile in its pebble form is wonderful to use in the shower, especially on your shower floor. This is because with pebble rock tile, there is an almost automatic non-slip quality to it.
With any type of shower tile that you use (especially rock tiles such as limestone, travertine, or granite), it’s always good to coordinate it with the colors of things outside of your shower, such as the bathroom floor tile, as well as the tiles on the walls of the bathroom. You may even have in mind a mix of different ones, such as stone with glass tile, which is always a lovely combination in a shower setting.
Shower Doors & Glass
Your shower doors and glass options for your shower remodeling in Irvine have a wide selection, so it won’t be hard for you to make yours unique from anyone else’s in your neighborhood! For example, the type of glass that you choose is simply going to depend on what level of privacy you want.
One of the popular Asian styles is rain glass, and many of them have holistic elements and are very decorative. For a heightened level of privacy in your shower remodel you may want frosted glass (which still lets outside light into the shower), or glass that’s tinted. Tinted shower glass you could get in a number of different shades, even totally darkened black. Lots of folks will go with a gray glass color for their shower, or even a beautiful bronze tone, which could go lovely with the rest of your bathroom depending on the shade of it that you want the rest of the area to be.
Your shower doors also have many options, whether you want them to be frameless, curved, bi-folded, or even a steam shower door that would make it feel like a steam room inside of your shower.
There are also more basic styles such as sliding shower doors (which are also referred to as bypass doors), or trackless shower doors. Homeowners have to consider their shower doors and glass as a main thing when determining their shower remodel cost in Irvine, being that they can be pricey if you’re not careful and don’t know where to look.
Shower Seating & Benches
Shower seating and benches can be easily installed by our experienced bathroom remodel contractors with much less added to your shower remodel cost in Irvine that you may think! We found that many of the residents here have been fans of coupling a steam shower door with nice shower seating for a very relaxing experience.
Shower Support Rails
If you have an elderly person living with you, then shower support rails are a must if they will frequently be using that shower. If you do not, rails are still a wonderful safety feature for a shower of any size, and we highly recommend that you coordinate them with the rest of your shower appliances.
Shower Appliances
As with your shower support rails, the rest of your shower appliances need to coordinate with those that are in the shower and on your bathroom vanity. These would include your shower knobs, shower head, and even the hinges on your glass shower door. You can generally find them all in the same style of metal or steel, and be from the same manufacturer.

It’s always a good idea to consult with your family before and during the time that we do this estimate, so that we could see your vision as clearly as you do for your new shower remodel in Irvine.
