From Outdated Fiberglass to a Clean, Modern Bathroom Upgrade
When a homeowner in Greece reached out to Bathtub Made New about updating their guest bathroom, the space was showing its age. The existing setup featured an old one-piece fiberglass tub and shower combination with an integrated surround that had become dated, worn, and difficult to keep looking clean.
The homeowners wanted something brighter, more modern, and easier to maintain — while still creating a warm, welcoming feel for guests.
That’s where the Bathtub Made New team stepped in.
The Original Bathroom
The existing bathroom had several common issues homeowners experience with older fiberglass tub/shower systems:
- A dated appearance
- Limited design appeal
- Signs of wear and aging
- A bulky one-piece layout
- Lack of modern storage features
Because the tub and surround were manufactured as one fiberglass unit, the entire system needed to be removed before the transformation could begin.
Full Removal & Preparation
The project started with a complete demolition of the old fiberglass tub/shower combo. The Bathtub Made New team carefully removed the existing unit and prepared the space for a fully upgraded installation.
This stage is one of the most important parts of a remodel because it creates the foundation for a clean, long-lasting finished product.
The New Tub Installation
After the old unit was removed, the team installed a brand-new bathtub designed to provide a cleaner, more refined look while improving overall durability and functionality.
The new tub instantly modernized the bathroom and created the perfect foundation for the upgraded wall system and finishes.
Onyx Stone Walls in Tiramisu
One of the standout features of this remodel was the installation of beautiful Onyx stone walls in the Tiramisu color.
The warm tones of Tiramisu added depth and elegance to the bathroom while still keeping the space light and inviting. The smooth stone appearance helped elevate the entire design and gave the guest bathroom a much more upscale feel compared to the old fiberglass surround.
The Onyx wall system also offers practical benefits homeowners love, including:
- Low maintenance
- Mold and mildew resistance
- Easy cleaning
- Long-lasting durability
- A seamless, custom appearance
Custom Storage with a Pearl Wide Recessed Caddy
To improve both functionality and style, the remodel included a Pearl Wide Recessed Caddy in Sandstone.
This recessed storage feature gave the homeowners a clean place to organize shampoos, soaps, and shower essentials without bulky wire racks or shelves taking up space.
The Sandstone finish paired beautifully with the Tiramisu walls, helping tie the entire shower area together.
Heckfiel Tub Door in Brushed Nickel
To complete the bathing area, Bathtub Made New installed a Heckfiel tub door in a brushed nickel finish.
The brushed nickel hardware added a modern touch while complementing the warm tones of the Onyx walls and vanity top. The sleek glass door helped open up the room visually and gave the bathroom a more spacious, updated appearance.
Matching Vanity Top for a Cohesive Design
To create a consistent design throughout the bathroom, the homeowners also chose a new vanity top in matching Tiramisu.
This helped unify the entire room and gave the bathroom a professionally designed look instead of feeling pieced together. Matching surfaces can make a huge difference in creating a clean, intentional bathroom remodel.
Fresh Paint to Complete the Transformation
Once the major installations were complete, the walls were repainted in a blue/gray shade that added softness and contrast to the warmer stone finishes.
The final color palette created a balanced, calming atmosphere that felt modern, clean, and welcoming for guests.
The Finished Result
By the end of the project, the bathroom had been completely transformed from an outdated fiberglass space into a stylish and functional guest bathroom the homeowners could be proud of.
The combination of:
- Tiramisu Onyx walls
- Matching vanity top
- Sandstone recessed caddy
- Brushed nickel tub door
- Fresh blue/gray paint
created a timeless design that feels both modern and comfortable.
