The Pros & Cons of a Walk-In Shower

Walk-in shower in a remodeled bathroomIf you’re like most homeowners looking into new ways to improve your residence, you’ve probably heard all about walk-in showers. Having a walk-in shower installed is a sleek, modern way to upgrade your bathroom. But is a walk-in shower right for you and your home? We’re diving into the biggest pros and cons of walk-in showers to help you determine whether this shower remodel project makes sense for you.

Pro: Easy Accessibility

With the exception of walk-in tubs, most bathtubs feature high thresholds that can present challenges for older adults or mobility-impaired individuals, but walk-in showers provide easy accessibility. This is especially true when you choose a bathroom contractor like MR. FIX-IT™ to install your walk-in shower, as the premium Jacuzzi® showers we install come with a plethora of optional safety features, including grab bars, built-in seating, and non-slip flooring.

Pro: Gorgeous, Modern Aesthetic

Bathtub/shower combinations are hardly the stuff of interior design dreams. If you’re trying to bring your home’s aesthetic into the twenty-first century, a walk-in shower is the perfect choice for your shower remodel. Featuring sleek lines and a contemporary design, walk-in showers are among the most popular bathroom remodeling projects for modern homeowners who want to love the look of their home again.

Pro: Low Maintenance

Tired of spending hour upon hour scrubbing grout that never seems to come entirely clean? One of the biggest pros of walk-in showers is their low maintenance. Usually featuring minimal grout and easy-to-clean glass, these showers make long, tedious hours spent scrubbing a thing of the past. And, at MR. FIX-IT™, our bathroom remodeling products are crafted with SilverShield® antimicrobial technology, helping them to resist mold and mildew.

Con: Might Not Suit Your Needs

For all of the excellent benefits that walk-in showers offer, there are bound to be a few cons. While it’s not a “con” in the traditional sense, consider that a walk-in shower might not suit your needs. For example, if you’re not concerned with accessibility and don’t want to give up your weekly bubble bath, replacing your tub with a walk-in shower right now might not make sense for you (although it’s always important to keep long-term, aging-in-place considerations in mind!). Similarly, if you need a bathtub to bathe your kids or pets, now might not be the right time to make the switch to a walk-in shower.

Con: Tubs are Attractive to Homebuyers

Finally—if you’re planning on selling your home—keep in mind that even if you don’t have kids or pets, many home buyers do, requiring them to purchase a home with at least one bathtub. Beautiful, remodeled bathrooms are also attractive to homebuyers, however, so don’t rule out a walk-in shower completely!

Turn to MR. FIX-IT™
