At Aqua Therapy Tubs, we recently had the pleasure of completing a beautiful bathroom remodel that blends custom design with luxurious function. The project involved several key elements that came together to transform the space into a serene, modern retreat.Below is a breakdown of the work completed, which included custom features, high-quality finishes, and a focus on long-lasting durability.
Demolition and Clean-Up
To start, the existing tile shower, valve, and pan were completely removed. All debris was hauled away to ensure a clean work area. In addition, we used a HEPA dust collection system throughout the project to minimize dust and keep the home as clean as possible during the renovation process. This system ensures a healthier environment for everyone in the home.
Custom Tile Shower Installation
A major feature of this remodel was the custom tile shower. Our team carefully installed mold-resistant Denshield to ensure that all seams were waterproofed, making the shower both beautiful and long-lasting. The walls were tiled up to the ceiling with large 12×24” ceramic tiles, providing a modern and sleek look.
To add a unique touch, we built a low-threshold curb and tiled the pan with a mosaic chosen by the client, creating a visually stunning focal point. The tile was sealed upon completion for added protection and longevity.
Lighted Custom Tile Shampoo Niche
One of the standout features of this remodel is the custom lighted tile shampoo niche. We built, waterproofed, and tiled a niche at the client’s desired location, measuring 12×24″ (with larger options available). This niche not only provides practical storage but also integrates lighting, which was wired to the existing can light for added convenience and style.
Vanity Lighting Installation
To enhance the ambiance, we supplied and installed a new vanity light. The installation was customized to fit the space, with any necessary electrical work completed to ensure that the light was properly positioned. The fixture was carefully chosen to match the room’s aesthetic.
Freestanding Tub Installation
For those who want to unwind in style, we installed a 66” freestanding tub from Apollo Kalisto. This elegant addition was paired with a Delta Venetian bronze wall-mounted faucet for a cohesive and luxurious look. The tub area was further enhanced with a custom tile surround, including a floor mosaic of travertine under the tub and a complementary travertine back wall.
Shower Glass Door
A clear frameless glass shower door was installed with sleek oil-rubbed bronze hardware to create a modern and open feel. This clean and minimalist design choice allows the beautiful tile work to take center stage while maintaining functionality.
Shower Valve Installation
The shower was equipped with two high-end Moen shower valves. The first is a Belfield M-core oil-rubbed bronze dual posi-temp valve with a new showerhead, handheld wand, and a luxurious rain shower head. The second valve is a Moen Belfield posi-temp single valve, again in oil-rubbed bronze, and paired with a stylish new showerhead. These high-quality fixtures were selected for both their aesthetic appeal and their durability.
Additional Touches
In the final phase of the remodel, we swapped out the shower fixtures for Delta products, ensuring that everything matched and provided a cohesive design. We also took care of all necessary drywall repairs and ensured the existing texture was matched seamlessly.
This bathroom remodel is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship can transform a space into something truly special. This project demonstrates that even a space as essential as a bathroom can be elevated to a spa-like retreat with the right upgrades.
