What Are the Top Features to Look for in a Low-Maintenance Shower Base?
Transforming your bathroom is exciting, but choosing the right shower base can make all the difference when it comes to long-term satisfaction. Bay State Bath knows all about durable shower base materials for New England bath renovations, and many homeowners are surprised to learn that a low-maintenance shower base doesn’t mean sacrificing style or aesthetics. So, what defines low maintenance? Here are some tips to consider when planning your shower upgrade.
Non-Porous Surfaces for Easy Cleaning
A non-porous surface is a must-have for anyone aiming to reduce cleaning efforts. The materials Bay State Bath uses for shower bases and wall surrounds are resistant to mold, mildew, and soap scum. This means less grime buildup and no need for harsh chemicals—just a quick wipe-down regularly is all it takes to keep your shower looking spotless.
Durability That Lasts
A high-quality shower base should withstand daily wear and tear. Scratch-resistant, durable materials keep your base looking like new for years. Opt for a product that won’t crack, fade, peel, bubble, or yellow over time. Our options are an excellent choice for homeowners seeking low maintenance and enduring beauty and are the best shower base for busy households.
Custom Fit to Prevent Water Damage
You don’t want to go into researching shower bases with a cookie-cutter mentality. A shower base custom-fitted to your space ensures a precise fit, eliminating leaks and water damage. Properly installed bases keep water exactly where it belongs—inside the shower—protecting the rest of your bathroom from potential issues.
Safer, Non-Slip Surface
Safety is key, and a non-slip surface is a valuable feature for any household. We offer shower bases that combine slip-resistant textures with curbless designs, making them ideal for families with kids or seniors aging in place. You get peace of mind without compromising style.
Proper Drainage and No Standing Water
Standing water can lead to soap scum buildup and dangerously slippery surfaces. Look for a base with proper angling and a strategically placed drain to ensure water flows away quickly. This feature helps keep your shower clean and safe.
Size and Comfort Matter
A well-sized base strikes the right balance between spaciousness and practicality. Avoid going too large, which could create unnecessary upkeep, or too small, which can feel cramped. Consider what size will comfortably suit all the members of your household.
Professional Installation
Even the best shower base can become a maintenance headache if not installed correctly. Ensure your base is installed by licensed and experienced professionals, like the team at Bay State Bath. Our expertise guarantees a hassle-free experience and peace of mind, knowing the job has been done right, and we’re by your side for any last-minute adjustments or fixes.
