Frameless Glass Showers
Frameless glass showers represent the premium choice for contemporary bathrooms, featuring thick tempered glass panels with minimal metal framework that creates clean, elegant lines and maximizes visual space. The absence of bulky frames makes bathrooms feel larger and showcases beautiful tile work without obstruction. Frameless installations require precise measurement and expert fitting but deliver unmatched aesthetic appeal and easier cleaning without metal channels that trap soap and water.
Corner Showers
Corner showers maximize space efficiency in smaller bathrooms, fitting neatly into corners while providing adequate showering room. These installations can feature neo-angle designs with angled glass entries, quadrant curved fronts for smooth profiles, or simple square configurations. Corner showers work particularly well in compact bathrooms, guest bathrooms, or secondary ensuites where space is limited but functionality remains essential.
Walk-In Showers
Walk-in showers have become increasingly popular for their accessibility, spaciousness, and modern appearance. These barrier-free designs eliminate step-over thresholds, providing easy access for everyone while creating luxurious showering environments. Walk-in configurations work beautifully in various sizes—from compact ensuite corners to expansive master bathroom features. Proper floor grading ensures water flows toward drains without escaping, and strategically positioned glass panels contain spray while maintaining the open, airy feel.
Shower-Over-Bath Combinations
Shower-over-bath combinations provide versatility for families with young children or those who occasionally enjoy baths alongside daily showers. Modern installations feature glass bath screens that contain shower spray while maintaining visual openness, quality fixtures that serve both bathing and showering needs, and proper waterproofing that protects against the unique challenges of combination units. These configurations maximize functionality in bathrooms where separate shower and bath installations aren't feasible.
The Critical Importance of Proper Waterproofing
Proper waterproofing is your shower's most critical element, preventing water from penetrating walls and floors that causes timber rot, mold growth, and structural damage. Albany Bathroom Renovations uses premium membrane systems provided by our suppliers applied to Australian Standards with meticulous attention to corners, penetrations, and transitions where failures typically occur, ensuring decades of watertight protection. By complying strictly with these standards, you get a bathroom shower without drainage or leaking issues for at least over a decade.
Quality Fixtures and Features for Enhanced Showering
The modern shower fixtures that we offer transform daily routines. Our bathroom renovation company helps you with thermostatic mixers that help keep your water temperatures regulated, rainfall showerheads that deliver spa-like experiences, handheld showerheads that provide flexibility, and built-in niches offering convenient storage for soap bottles and bars. Quality fixtures feature easy-clean nozzles, durable finishes, and water efficiency ratings that deliver excellent performance while reducing consumption and utility costs.
Professional Installation Makes All the Difference
Shower installation requires coordinated expertise across waterproofing, plumbing, tiling, and glass fitting. Our professional process ensures substrates are properly prepared, shower bases have correct drainage falls, waterproofing meets Australian Standards, tiles are precisely installed, fixtures are securely mounted with leak-free connections, and glass panels are expertly fitted. This comprehensive approach creates showers that function beautifully and last for decades, protecting your investment and delivering reliable performance.

When to Call a Professional for Your Shower Replacement
Knowing when to replace your shower plays a big part in preventing extensive water damage down the line and helps save you from costly repairs that come down the track. Most homeowners tend to ignore warning signs and keep the worn shower until problems with plumbing or moisture become apparent and severe. By then, it's too late. Early intervention protects your home and improves your daily comfort. Here are some indicators that tend to slip by homeowners, but are important to notice as they lead very quickly to more expensive structural damage over time. Call our bathroom renovators in Albany, WA if you notice any of these signs.
Water Stains on Ceilings or Adjacent Walls
Water stains appearing on ceilings below your bathroom or on walls adjacent to your shower indicate failed waterproofing that's allowing moisture to escape the shower enclosure. This water penetration damages wall frames, floor structures, and creates ideal conditions for mold growth within your walls. What starts as minor staining quickly progresses to serious structural damage requiring expensive remediation. If you notice discoloration, peeling paint, or soft spots near your shower, failed waterproofing demands immediate professional attention to prevent further damage to your home.
Poor Drainage and Standing Water
Showers that don't drain properly, leaving standing water after use, indicate drainage problems from incorrect floor falls, blocked or inadequate drains, or settlement that's changed your shower's slope. Standing water encourages mold growth, creates slip hazards, and suggests your shower wasn't installed to proper standards. Proper shower floors should drain completely within minutes of use. Persistent pooling water signals that professional replacement with correct drainage installation is necessary.
Leaking Shower Screens and Deteriorating Seals
Water escaping your shower through failed screens, deteriorating door seals, or damaged caulking around the shower base creates immediate problems for bathroom floors and can lead to water damage in rooms below. Old shower screens develop gaps, corroded frames, and broken seals that no amount of recaulking permanently fixes. If you're constantly mopping water from your bathroom floor after showers or notice water stains spreading from your shower area, failed containment requires professional replacement rather than temporary patches.
