Cost of new standing shower
The cost of a new standing shower can vary widely depending on several factors, including:
- Materials: The type and quality of materials used for the shower enclosure, walls, and floor can significantly impact the cost. For example, a glass shower enclosure may be more expensive than a acrylic or fiberglass one.
- Size: The larger the shower, the more materials and labor required, which can increase the cost.
- Features: Additional features such as a rainfall showerhead, body sprays, or a bench can add to the overall cost.
- Installation: The cost of installation can vary depending on the complexity of the job, the location, and the contractor's rates.
- Brand and quality: High-end brands and premium materials can increase the cost.
