A Targeted Update with Maximum Impact
When the homeowners on Cloverdale Avenue in Modesto, CA decided it was time to refresh their dated hall bathroom, they turned to the experts at kitchen & bath CRATE. The goal was simple but impactful: upgrade the shower—the heart of this hall bathroom—into a modern, clean-lined space with better function and a brighter feel. This bathCRATE Lite remodel proves that a single update can truly redefine the way a bathroom looks and feels.
As a bathCRATE Lite project, the scope of this remodel focused solely on the shower—a smart and budget-conscious choice for homeowners looking for meaningful improvements without undergoing a full gut remodel. Despite the limited scope, the results are anything but modest. The new shower is a fresh, functional upgrade that now serves as a focal point of the space, enhancing both usability and aesthetic appeal.


Shower Surfaces: Neutral Elegance
To set the tone for the new shower, the homeowners selected a subtle yet timeless white engineered marble with some veining for visual intrigue. Along with this, they went with a prefabricated shower base for convenience, ease-of-cleaning, and sleekness.
This combination creates visual interest while remaining understated enough to fit seamlessly into the existing bathroom.
Fixtures That Shine
The shower fixtures were thoughtfully chosen for their balance of style and performance, delivering a polished and modern look. Grab bars and a shower seat were installed to ensure maximum safety and convenience for the homeowner.
-
Shower Fixtures: Delta Ashlyn Monitor 17 Shower Trim with In2ition Hand Shower in Brilliance Stainless
-
Grab Bars: Delta 24″ Traditional Decorative ADA Grab Bar in Stainless
- Shower Seat: Moen Home Care Stainless and Teak Folding Shower Seat
- Shower Door: Semi-Frameless Dual-Bypass in Brushed Nickel with Rain Glass from Don’s Mobile Glass
The stainless finish adds to the sleek-nature of the neutral tile palette—bringing a touch of modern sophistication to the space.
Clean Countertops to Brighten the Space
The countertops were replaced to match the shower and paired with white porcelain sinks to create an overall clean and cohesive feel to the remodel.
-
Countertops: MSI Engineered Marble Slab in Vanilla Sky 5/8″
- Sinks: Kohler Caxton® Rectangular Undermount Bathroom Sink
Each of these touches was designed to tie the bathroom remodel together in a simple, yet effective way.





Why This Modesto Bathroom Remodel Stands Out
While this project didn’t include every corner of the bathroom, it proves that even a targeted remodel can have a major impact. The updated shower isn’t just more attractive—it’s more functional, easier to maintain, and better suited to the needs of the homeowners.
From the fresh maufactured marble to the stainless steel and brushed nickel fixtures, every detail of this bathCRATE Lite remodel was tailored to improve daily use and aesthetic satisfaction.
