Bathtub & Shower Styles and Material Options
Matthews homes come in all shapes and styles, and your new bathtub or shower should fit yours. We install soaking tubs, walk-in tubs, tiled showers, and prefabricated shower units, giving you options for both function and look.
Material matters just as much as style. Acrylic and fiberglass options are budget-friendly and easy to maintain, while tile and stone offer a custom, high-end feel. Humidity in the Matthews area can be tough on bathroom surfaces over time, so we help you choose materials that withstand moisture and resist mold growth. Whatever direction you go, we’ll walk you through the pros and cons so the choice feels easy.
Our Bathtub & Shower Installation Process
Every installation starts with a conversation. We look at your current setup, talk through what’s not working, and get a sense of what you want from the new space. From there, we handle the removal of the old unit, any necessary plumbing adjustments, and the full installation of your new bathtub or shower.
Our team works cleanly and efficiently, protecting your floors and surrounding fixtures throughout the job. Once installation is complete, we test everything thoroughly to confirm proper drainage, water flow, and a watertight seal. We won’t consider the job done until it’s done right.
Benefits of Upgrading Your Bathtub or Shower
A new bathtub or shower does more than freshen up your bathroom. Updated fixtures and modern materials can improve water efficiency, which matters given how quickly Matthews summers can drive up water usage. A properly sealed and installed unit also helps prevent hidden leaks that can lead to costly water damage down the road.
Beyond function, an upgraded bathtub or shower adds real value to your home. It’s one of the first things buyers notice, and it’s one of the spaces you’ll enjoy every single day. Pair that with better accessibility features, like a walk-in tub or a curbless shower, and you’ve got a bathroom that works better for your whole family, now and as your needs change.
