The design gurus who influence and report on bathroom renovation trends are agreeing on one thing right now: People are looking for more than just new colors or tiles. They want to transform their space into a spa-like sanctuary.

A new company that’s taking Cleveland by storm—Bath R Us—is answering the call with luxurious showers and baths that don’t cost a fortune.

Thanks to an advantageous partnership with an American company that produces ultra-durable, high-tech polymer materials, they can install showers that look like gorgeous marble, granite, quartz and subway tiles and also offer the sinks, cabinetry, toilets, fixtures, flooring and lighting to go with them.

“People are asking for a clean aesthetic with rustic touches like oil-rubbed bronze and matte black fixtures,” says founder Chad Howman. “And they are choosing pale gray and white-marble looks.”

He says many of their clients are opting to get rid of a bathtub in the main upstairs bathroom and in its place install a full shower.

“For a glamorous, five-star hotel effect, we can even install a slab on the shower ceiling and sink lights into it,” he says. “As impressive as the finished look is, what’s really great about these 100% waterproof showers is that they’re a breeze to clean since there are no seams and there is no grout.”

Bath R Us installs luxurious showers and baths that don’t cost a fortune—and it typically takes just three to four days. Pictured is founder Chad Howman (right), and his wife, Stephanie.

What their Clients are Raving About
Just a quick peek at all the five-star reviews from clients around town will give you an idea about Bath R Us.

About the consultation: “Kyle arrived on time and spent time giving us options for our bathroom remodel. He was patient and explained all options. He provided visuals of what changes would look like. He was very professional and no pressure…a good experience for our decision-making choices in this remodel.” —Theresa G.
About the finished look: “I still cannot believe that the shower we had installed is in our home and not at a resort or luxury hotel!”—Donna J.
About the level of professionalism: “My husband and I received several quotes from other bath remodeling companies. Mike with Bath R Us provided us with a professional opinion and was willing to work within our budget. The options were presented clearly and were able to see real-life examples. We also appreciate him respecting our home and wearing a mask while meeting.” —Katelyn H.

Functional Can be Beautiful
Since many homeowners are thinking about ways they can stay in their homes through their senior years, Chad says they also decided to offer zero-entry showers and walk-in tubs with grab bars. Just because they’re functional doesn’t mean they cannot be beautiful.

During the consultation, the homeowners are asked lots of questions to pinpoint their needs, and storage is often at the top of the list. Bath R Us can build custom corner shelves in the shower to neatly house all of your products, as well as storage within vanity cabinetry.

“Bathroom renovation is all that we specialize in for good reason,” says Chad. “Our jobs run like clockwork, from the super convenient in-home consultation, going over samples with the client, to the installation, which usually only takes three to four days. We take pride in bringing our clients’ dream bathrooms to life.”
