Transforming a Dated Bathroom into a Modern Oasis in Plainville, Connecticut 

At First Choice Bath Remodeling, we take pride in helping homeowners bring their dream bathrooms to life. This recent project in Plainville, Connecticut, was a perfect example of how we can take an outdated space and turn it into a modern, functional, and stylish retreat. Our clients wanted a complete revamp, including new fixtures, updated tilework, and improved lighting to create a fresh and inviting atmosphere.

The Vision: A Sleek and Contemporary Refresh

Our clients in Plainville had lived in their home for over a decade, and while their bathroom had served them well, it was starting to really show its age. They envisioned a sleek, spa-like retreat that would provide both comfort and elegance. Their main goals included:


• Replacing the outdated tub with a walk-in shower

• Upgrading old fixtures to modern, water-efficient models

• Introducing neutral tones with bold accents for a stylish aesthetic

• Improving lighting for a brighter, more inviting space


With these goals in mind, we developed a design plan that would not only meet their expectations, but truly exceed them.

Before: A Cramped and Outdated Space

The original bathroom had a bulky tub-shower combination that made the space feel small and incredibly cramped. The shower surround was outdated, and the vanity lacked sufficient storage. Dim lighting further contributed to the dull and uninviting atmosphere that the bathroom held. While the layout was functional, it needed a modern twist to maximize both aesthetics and practicality.

The Remodeling Process: Bringing the Vision to Life

Once the design plan was approved, our team got to work. Here’s how we transformed this bathroom:


1. Demolition and Preparation


We started by carefully removing the old tub, vanity, and tile flooring. This phase is crucial to ensure a smooth installation process while checking for any underlying issues, such as water damage or outdated plumbing. Fortunately, the home’s plumbing was in great condition, allowing us to seamlessly proceed.

2. Installing a Walk-In Shower


One of the most significant upgrades was replacing the old tub with a custom walk-in shower. The homeowners opted for:


• A sleek glass enclosure for an open and airy feel

• Large-format porcelain tiles in soft gray tones to create a spa-like ambiance

• A rainfall showerhead for a luxurious bathing experience

• A built-in niche for convenient storage of toiletries


This new shower not only modernized the space but also improved functionality and accessibility.

3. Upgrading the Vanity and Storage


A modern vanity with a timeless and distinguished elegance that resonates with classic design style. The gentle, subtle curves exhibit a sophisticated simplicity that complements both traditional and contemporary decors.


4. Enhancing the Lighting


The LED lighted mirror provides both lights both from front and back. Unique design with double LED lights. More dense LED beads. There are 75 beads leds per foot, about twice higher than the usual led quantity. So it is more brighter. Frame-less design and anti-corrosion, so it will not get rusty or corrosive.5mm tempered mirror glass to make it stronger and safer. This material will protect the mirror glass from crazing and hurting person.

5. Finishing Touches: Flooring and Accents

 

The final details tied everything together beautifully:

New flooring: We installed Whistling Hills Waterproof Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Plank - Cork Pad (LVP) flooring that mimics the look of natural wood, while offering durability and moisture resistance.

Modern fixtures: Brushed Nickel The SR SUN RISE12" Rain Shower System adds a modern and affordable touch, while  6-spray high-pressure showerhead and handheld combo offers style and versatility.

Paint Color:  The Behr PPU11-13 Frosted Jade walls beautifully complement the bathroom's sleek design, adding a calming, spa-like ambiance that pairs perfectly with the modern fixtures and soft gray cabinetry.

After: A Stunning, Spa-Like Retreat

Shower Glass Door: Introducing the LessCare ULTRA-H Bypass Sliding Shower Door, a perfect blend of modern design and functionality for your bathroom. This fully frameless shower door features two clear tempered glass panels, each 3/8" (10 mm) thick, offering a sleek and open feel.


Shower Tiles: The Cesari Bianca II Matte Porcelain Tile offers the timeless elegance of natural stone with modern durability and ease of maintenance. Measuring 12 x 24 inches, this white tile features a matte finish that enhances its sophisticated appearance.


The finished bathroom exceeded our clients’ expectations. The new walk-in shower made the area feel significantly larger, while the improved lighting and modern finishes added a luxurious feel. The homeowners were thrilled with the transformation and loved how every detail contributed to a more functional and aesthetically pleasing bathroom.
