Not sure where to post, move If necessary.
Wife is due in 2 weeks with our first born. We’re in a 1000sqft townhouse I bought 10 years ago. We, with help of my licensed contractor father, moved some doorways and walls to add storage space. This has turned into redoing the hall bath that is a shower over tub with 1980s cultured marble.
We got a quote for $3,000 for a new cultured marble higher end series wall panels installed with a matching vanity banjo top that has an embedded sink. This is after my fathers discount and it’s all installed. Would take half a day for install.
deal or no deal?
Other option is we’ve found several local stone shops that sell artificial marble 3 piece shower panels for around $400. This is not installed and does not include a vanity top.
My dad likes the $3k installed route because it’s done and no quesswork. I like the idea of the $400 panels but need to find out if the outside edges are polished/profiled and of trim pieces are available. A vanity top would still need to be sourced and probably not match.
what do you think?
Anyone install some of that artificial marble panels before? It’s going over a tub and it don’t think it would be hard. It looks pretty square where it hits the top of the tub and comes down to the floor.
