The West Side 500: Angie’s Race for a Better Bathroom
Customer: Angie
Location: West Side of Indy (Speedway Adjacent)
Contractor: Superior Bath System
The Challenge: A Pit Stop Gone Wrong
Living on the West Side of Indy, especially near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, means you understand the importance of speed, precision, and a clean track. Unfortunately, Angie’s master bathroom was currently running under a permanent yellow flag.
As the “Before” photo reveals, Angie was dealing with what we like to call the “Shampoo Bottle Graveyard.” Her bathtub was a cramped, beige relic of the past, crowded with enough toiletries to stock a CVS. The shower curtain—while lovely—was doing that thing where it tries to “hug” you mid-lather, and the high tub wall made every morning feel like a hurdles event at a local track meet.
In a neighborhood where “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” is a way of life, Angie’s bathroom was more of a “Greatest Spectacle of Clutter.” With the Indianapolis humidity threatening to turn that cramped space into a literal steam room (minus the luxury), it was time for a professional engine swap.
The Solution: Trading the Clunker for a Supercar
The team from Superior Bath System arrived on the scene and immediately waved the checkered flag on that old tub. We knew Angie didn’t need a slow-moving soak; she needed a high-performance sanctuary.
The transformation involved:
- The Gut Job: We stripped away the dated beige surround and the “trip-hazard” tub, clearing the lane for a modern upgrade.
- The High-End Finish: We installed stunning, stone-patterned wall panels that reach all the way to the ceiling—giving the room the sophisticated vibe of a VIP suite at the Pagoda.
- Aerodynamic Glass: We swapped the “Curtain of Doom” for premium sliding glass doors with sleek chrome hardware. Not only do they glide like they’re on oiled bearings, but they also make the whole room feel twice as large.
- Smart Storage: We traded the hanging wire racks for integrated corner shelving, finally giving Angie’s products a home that doesn’t involve a balancing act.
The Outcome: The Winner’s Circle
Take a look at the “After” photo. That is what we call a podium finish.
The bathroom has transitioned from a cluttered “pit stop” into a bright, airy, and modern retreat. The low-profile shower base makes entry effortless—no more high-stepping into the tub like you’re trying to avoid the “Yard of Bricks.” The new space is clean, organized, and ready for the roar of the engines.
Angie can now enjoy her West Side mornings without the stress of a bathroom “wreck.” Whether it’s a humid July day or a freezing Indy morning, she’s got a walk-in shower that is officially the “Greatest Spectacle in Showering.”
Project Summary
- The Challenge: A cramped, outdated beige bathtub combo that was overflowing with clutter and difficult to navigate.
- The Solution: A full tub-to-shower conversion by Superior Bath System, featuring floor-to-ceiling designer wall panels, custom glass doors, and integrated organization.
- The Outcome: A streamlined, sophisticated master bath that maximizes space and accessibility while providing a high-end, modern look.
