New Modesto Shower Remodel Complete!

A Stunning Shower Transformation in Modesto

Bathrooms are often more than just functional spaces—they’re places of relaxation, rejuvenation, and personal care. When the shower, a key feature in any bathroom, begins to look outdated or lose its functionality, it can detract from the entire experience. That’s where kitchen & bath CRATE steps in with it’s newest product line: bathCRATE Lite. BathCRATE Lite is kbCRATE’s response to the “one-day bath” phenomenon of the last decade. But instead of a cheap, tile-simulating acrylic wall finish, bathCRATE Lite uses engineered stone walls. That’s right, the same type of material used in the most luxurious of homes.

This project, a bathCRATE Lite remodel, focused exclusively on upgrading the shower, giving these Modesto homeowners on History Way a modern, refreshed, and functional focal point for their bathroom.

In this blog, we’ll explore how this remodel turned an old, uninspiring shower into a stylish, practical centerpiece, all while delivering on kitchen & bath CRATE’s commitment to exceptional quality and on-time delivery. If you’re considering a bathroom remodel, let this transformation inspire your next step.

The Before: An Outdated and Inefficient Shower

Before the remodel, the shower in this Modesto bathroom was far from ideal. With tired materials, dated fixtures, and a cramped feel, the space was neither inviting nor functional. The homeowners wanted a modern, sophisticated look without committing to a full bathroom renovation.

A bathCRATE Lite remodel was the perfect solution. By focusing solely on the shower, this targeted approach allowed the homeowners to achieve a significant transformation while keeping the rest of the bathroom intact.

1. Upgraded Shower Surround

The existing shower surround was replaced with sleek engineered marble in Iridium Gray. This luxurious material not only enhances the bathroom’s aesthetics but also provides a durable, easy-to-clean surface. Extending up to 86 inches in height, the new surround adds a sense of spaciousness and elegance to the shower.

2. Functional Storage Solutions

A well-designed shower should be as functional as it is beautiful. This remodel included a 30-inch-wide shower niche, centered on the long wall, providing ample space for storing toiletries. The niche’s streamlined design ensures practicality without compromising the clean, modern look of the shower.

3. Modern Fixtures for Comfort and Style

The shower fixtures were updated with the Delta Ashlyn Monitor 17 Shower Trim featuring an In2ition hand shower in Brilliance Stainless. This dual-function fixture combines a luxurious rain shower experience with the convenience of a handheld showerhead. The brushed stainless finish complements the overall design, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal.

4. A Sleek Shower Base

The old, outdated shower base was replaced with a PROFLO Hammond 60-inch by 32-inch shower base in classic white. Its centered drain ensures optimal water flow, while its modern design enhances the overall look of the shower.

5. Safety Meets Style

Safety is a key consideration in any remodel, and this project was no exception. Two Delta Traditional Grab Bars, measuring 12 inches and 24 inches, were installed in Brilliance Stainless to provide added support and safety.

Pairing with this is a Moen Home Care Stainless and Teak Folding Shower Seat to provide extra stability, comfort, and style for the homeowners. A shower seat goes a long way in creating a safe and comfortable shower experience without sacrificing the overall aesthetic of the space. These features are subtly integrated into the design, ensuring they don’t detract from the shower’s sleek appearance.

6. Elegant Glass Doors

To complete the transformation, a semi-frameless dual-bypass shower door with brushed nickel trim was installed. Featuring rain glass panels, the door provides privacy while allowing light to filter through, contributing to the shower’s bright and open feel. Additionally, the glass was treated with EnduroShield coating, making it resistant to stains and easy to maintain.

The Result: A Stunning, Functional Shower

The transformation achieved in this bathCRATE Lite remodel is nothing short of remarkable. By focusing exclusively on the shower, the kitchen & bath CRATE team delivered a modern, stylish, and functional space that meets the homeowners’ needs for functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Key Highlights:

Sophistication: The engineered marble surround and brushed stainless fixtures create a cohesive, luxurious look.
Functionality: Features like the shower niche, grab bars, folding seat, and dual-function fixtures make the shower as practical as it is beautiful.
Low Maintenance: Durable materials and protective coatings ensure the shower stays looking new with minimal effort.

This remodel is proof that even a small change can have a big impact. The homeowners now have a shower they can enjoy daily, without the stress or expense of a full bathroom renovation.
