5 Signs it’s time for Shower Screen Replacement
A shower screen might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about home upgrades. But it can really make a difference to both the style and function of your bathroom.
So, when is it time to let go of your old shower screen and welcome a shiny new one? Here are some of the most common reasons
1. Tired Aesthetics
Bathrooms are one of the most well-used spaces in your home, and sometimes they just need a little style refresh. If your shower looks like it’s stuck in the ‘80s (frosted glass with a wire grid, anyone!?), a modern shower glass replacement can instantly upgrade the vibe.
Sleek, frameless shower screens are a popular choice today - offering a clean, minimalist look that fits seamlessly with most bathroom styles.
2. Getting Ready to Sell
If you’re putting your house on the market, the bathroom is one of the first places potential buyers will inspect. A dated or damaged shower screen is only going to get a thumbs down.
On the other hand, a fresh, modern screen can make a great impression and even add value to your home. It’s a small investment that could make a big difference with getting those offers on the table.
3. Damage from Everyday Use …
Or the occasional accident! Wear and tear is inevitable in any home, and particularly ones with kids! Cracked glass, scratches and scruffs, loose or worn seals, corroded handles, misaligned doors: all are signs it’s time for an update. Thankfully, today’s tempered glass is much more durable than it used to be … but accidents can still happen!
4. “Glass Cancer”
Over time, some shower screens develop what’s known as “glass cancer.” This happens when water seeps into the glass, causing it to become permanently cloudy. If your screen is beyond cleaning and you’re left with a foggy view – shower screen replacement is probably a good idea.
5. Leaks, Mould, and Mildew
If your shower screen is leaking or showing signs of mould or mildew, it’s not just annoying - it can also be harmful to your health.
Water damage to your bathroom and persistent mould are signs that your shower screen may not be doing its job properly anymore. A new, screen, fitted and installed by an expert, will help keep your bathroom dry, clean, and hygienic.
