In the heart of Carmel, Indiana—a land where the roundabouts are plentiful, the Palladium is pristine, and the lawns are manicured with surgical precision—lived a bathroom that was, quite frankly, a rebellion against the local aesthetic.
Our client, Chris, had a tub-and-shower combo that could only be described as “aggressively beige.” It was a fiberglass relic of decades past, featuring a shower curtain that had seen better days and a tub wall that seemed to have been designed by someone with a profound fear of right angles. In a city known for its “Arts & Design District,” this bathroom was providing neither art nor design.
The Challenge: The Great Wall of Fiberglass
Chris was facing a classic Hoosier dilemma. While Carmel is known for its sophisticated charm, his master bath felt like a time capsule from a 1984 motel. The existing setup was:
- The “Climb of Doom”: A high-walled tub that made every morning feel like a low-impact hurdle event.
- Aesthetic Anarchy: A dated, yellowish hue that even the brightest Indiana sun couldn’t redeem.
- The Curtain Chronicles: A shower curtain that insisted on “hugging” the bather—and not in a friendly way.
The goal? A sleek, modern, and accessible conversion that wouldn’t require a map and a compass to navigate.
The Solution: The Superior Intervention
Enter Superior Bath System. We didn’t just come to swap a tub; we came to stage a bathroom intervention.
We stripped away the beige behemoth and replaced it with a custom walk-in shower system that would make even the residents of the Village of WestClay jealous. Our team focused on three key upgrades:
- The Surround: We installed a stunning, marbled wall system that reaches for the ceiling, giving the room a vertical lift that rivals the height of the Indiana State Soldiers and Sailors Monument (well, maybe not that high, but it’s a massive improvement).
- The Hardware: Gone is the plastic-handled faucet. In its place, we installed high-end brushed nickel fixtures and a strategically placed safety grab bar—because being stylish shouldn’t mean being unstable.
- The “Clear” Choice: We ditched the curtain for a heavy-duty sliding glass door with a polished frame. It’s so clear, Chris might actually forget it’s there (we warned him to check for glass before stepping through).
The Outcome: A Hole-in-One for Chris
The transformation is, as they say in the nearby Crooked Stick Golf Club, a total “eagle.”
- Before: A cramped, dated enclosure that made Monday mornings feel like a chore.
- After: A spa-like sanctuary that reflects the upscale vibe of Carmel. The walk-in design provides effortless entry, while the built-in corner shelving keeps the “shower clutter” at bay.
The result is a bathroom that is as functional as it is fashionable. Chris can now enjoy a modern showering experience that matches the beauty of a walk through the Monon Trail—only with much better water pressure and significantly less humidity than an Indiana July.
