Transform your space with a budget-friendly shower kit

If stepping into your bathroom every day makes you dreary and depressed, it might be time for a bit of a bathroom makeover. Many people are dissuaded from renovating their bathrooms because of the potential cost and hassle involved – but this doesn’t have to be the case. Something as simple as replacing your shower with a ready-made shower kit can make all the difference to your bathroom space, and it’s such an easy and cost-effective way to make a valuable change.

How do you start renovating your bathroom?

Before jumping into any home DIY project, it’s best to start researching the options available. While you could consider a completely custom-made shower, this will involve contractors, a higher price tag, and a lot more inconvenience. Ready-made shower units are actually available in a variety of configurations so you can find one that suits your taste, style, and bathroom set-up. Before renovating with a ready-made shower unit, here’s what you must do:

1.     Choose the best shower kit

You need to check that the ready-made shower kit is made according to the highest quality standards with durable materials such as acrylic, fibreglass, hardened glass, or aluminium as these are hard-wearing and easy to clean and maintain. GEZA’s prefabricated shower stalls are considered some of the industry’s best, with a variety of designs to suit any bathroom space.

2.     Measure your bathroom

Don’t use guesswork when it comes to DIY. Make sure you carefully measure your bathroom to get the dimensions 100% right before you order that ready-made shower unit. You will need to account for any existing plumbing fixtures or other obstacles that could get in the way of the installation.

3.     Consider aesthetics

While bathrooms are primarily functional spaces, you need to ensure the aesthetics are appealing as well. You use your bathroom daily – often first thing in the morning – and when the aesthetics are suited to your taste, you are immediately put in a good mood. Consider the look and feel of your ready-made shower unit, and search for some fixtures and features that can liven the space such as a statement shower head, colourful towels, beautiful bathroom mirror or a potted plant.

4.     Decide on DIY vs professional installation

The great thing about a ready-made shower unit is that, if you have some knowledge of home improvement, then you can do the installation yourself. You will need a basic level of installation expertise, and if you’re not confident about your abilities, then it’s probably best to hire a professional. Fortunately, unlike a custom-built shower, a ready-made shower stall can be fitted quickly and with no mess.

What are the benefits of a ready-made shower?

Choosing the style, fittings, design, and look of your shower is an appealing option, but the reality is that custom-built showers are labour-intensive, costly, and can take a lot longer than expected to get it right. Here’s why a ready-made shower kit is well worth the investment if you’re looking to transform your bathroom.

ü  Low maintenance: Because these showers are well-constructed to industry standards using only quality material, you benefit from minimal maintenance in the long run. The tempered glass won’t crack, there are no seams and joints to collect grime, and cleaning is a simple spray and wipe.

ü  No leaks: You don’t have to worry about flooding your bathroom after the first shower because these ready-made shower units are completely watertight. This also reduces the risks of slippery floors leading to dangerous bathroom falls.

ü  Simple installation: The ready-made shower unit is an all-in-one shower set, completely with walls, base, drain, showerhead, and faucet – which means simple installation. Whether you go DIY or professional, installation will be a quick, mess-free, pain-free process.

ü  Variety to choose: Don’t think that a ready-made shower unit is a one-size-fits-all option. You can choose from a variety of designs so that you’re getting the best shower for your bathroom space.

ü  Affordability: The ready-made shower units are much more affordable because of lower installation costs and the more cost-efficient materials. Affordability can be further enjoyed through energy-efficient fittings such as low-flow showerheads.
