For many people, a daily shower is a true wellness experience. Whether it’s a round shower, corner shower, walk-in shower, or a floor-level shower, the model options seem nearly endless. How much you ultimately spend depends largely on which model you choose and whether an existing shower needs to be removed beforehand.

The following factors can also affect the total cost:

  • Shape of the shower

  • Type of shower

  • Qualification and expertise of the craftsmen

  • Additional costs
