How to Choose the Right Shower: Walk-In, Tile, Acrylic or Tub?

Your shower is one of the most used spaces in your home — and one of the most important decisions in a bathroom renovation.
The right choice should balance daily comfort, long-term durability, maintenance, and resale value.

In Florida homes, moisture, layout, and lifestyle matter even more.

Walk-In Tile Showers: Modern, Open & Built to Last

Walk-in tile showers are a top choice for homeowners upgrading master bathrooms or designing aging-in-place renovations.

Ideal for homeowners who want:

  • A clean, modern aesthetic

  • Barrier-free access

  • Custom design flexibility

Why they perform well in Florida:

  • Proper waterproofing protects against moisture issues

  • Tile allows airflow and easier drying

  • Custom slopes and drains improve longevity

✔ Popular in primary bathroom remodels across Orange, Lake, Osceola, and Seminole Counties

Acrylic Showers: Efficient, Affordable & Low Maintenance

Acrylic shower systems are a practical solution when speed, cost control, and ease of cleaning are priorities.

Best suited for:

  • Guest bathrooms

  • Rental or investment properties

  • Quick renovation timelines

Key advantages:

  • Non-porous surface resists mold and mildew

  • Faster installation than tile systems

  • Consistent finish with minimal upkeep

Acrylic showers are often paired with partial bathroom remodels or flooring upgrades.

Tub & Shower Combos: Versatile & Family-Friendly

Tub and shower combinations remain essential in many homes — especially where flexibility matters.

Recommended for:

  • Homes with young children

  • Multi-use guest bathrooms

  • Buyers who expect at least one bathtub

Modern upgrades include:

  • Tile surrounds

  • Built-in shelving and niches

  • Updated fixtures and glass enclosures

Maintaining at least one tub can positively impact resale value in many Central Florida markets.

Tile vs Acrylic vs Tub: Which One Fits Your Lifestyle?

When choosing your shower, ask yourself:

  • Who uses this bathroom daily?

  • How much maintenance do I want long-term?

  • Is accessibility a future concern?

  • How does this renovation fit my overall home value goals?
