Ep 3. Glass Box Tub Surround

In season 9 episode 3 of the hit show Bath Crashers, the team takes on the challenge of creating a stunning glass box tub surround. The homeowners are a young couple who want to transform their plain and outdated bathroom into a luxurious spa-like retreat. They have asked for the inclusion of a glass box tub surround, which they saw in a high-end hotel and fell in love with.

The host and contractor, Matt Muenster, starts by ripping out the old bathtub, shower, and existing tile surround. He then makes room for the new and improved layout. The team installs new plumbing fixtures and water-resistant drywall, which will be painted later to complement the new porcelain tiles.

The glass box tub surround is created using tempered glass panels that have a frosted finish. These panels provide privacy without sacrificing natural light, and the frosted finish adds a touch of elegance to the space. A sleek chrome frame holds the glass panels firmly in place. Matt designs a custom-built bench out of marble across from the tub to provide a safe and comfortable place for sitting and storage.

The team also installs a new toilet and a vanity with a quartz countertop and under-mount sink. The vanity includes a towel shelf and drawers for additional storage. LED lights are installed above the mirror and under the vanity, which provides ample lighting to the space and creates a warm atmosphere.

To add a final touch of glamour, the team installs a special art piece on the wall behind the tub. It is a glass mosaic, in shades of blue, that creates a beautiful and calming focal point in the space.

The finished bathroom is a stunning transformation, and the couple is thrilled with the final product. The glass box tub surround provides a luxurious spa-like feel and adds a modern and contemporary touch to the space.

Overall, this episode demonstrates the importance of careful planning and attention to detail when creating a luxurious bathroom renovation. The glass box tub surround is a unique feature that sets the bathroom apart and creates a spa experience in the comfort of the homeowners' own home.
