Bath Crashers season 6 episode 1 named "Magical Transformation" takes on a transformative journey to a small home in Chicago.
The host, Matt Muenster, meets the homeowners, Erica and Jerry, who are in dire need of a bathroom makeover. The couple had a cramped, outdated bathroom with a dysfunctional shower, a toilet that didn't flush correctly, and a sink that barely worked. Erica and Jerry shared the bathroom with their two children and desperately wanted a space that would resemble a luxurious spa and efficiently cater to their needs.
Matt takes up the challenge and presents Erica and Jerry with a design plan that is both magical and practical. The plan includes expanding the bathroom's size by knocking down a wall that separates it from a closet. The design also incorporates a soaker tub, a shower with a hydrotherapy system, double sink vanity, storage cabinets, and new lighting.
Matt and his team get straight to work and start demolishing the old bathroom. However, they hit a snag when they found out that the bathroom was not using proper ventilation. Matt decides to reroute the ductwork to a more efficient system and installs a new vent fan that will keep the bathroom fresh and dry.
The team installs new electrical wiring for better lighting and adds new drywall to replace the old deteriorated one. They also remove the old flooring and install a new one that will handle the bathroom's moisture. Meanwhile, the plumbing team gets to work installing the new tub, new shower system, new sink, and a toilet with dual-flush technology. Everything goes smoothly except for a minor glitch during the shower installation, which is quickly sorted out.
With the construction completed, it's time for the finishing touches. Matt and his team paint the bathroom walls with a neutral color, and he adds an accent wall with a beautiful Moroccan tile pattern. He installs a frameless shower door and adds floating shelves for storage. The double sink vanity is the centerpiece of the bathroom, with marble countertops, brushed nickel faucets, and a large mirror.
Matt ups the design ante by adding a few magical elements. His team installs magic mirrors that show your reflection when turned off but turn into a TV screen when turned on. The mirrors have Bluetooth capabilities, so you can connect your phone or tablet to watch your favorite shows while soaking in the tub. Matt also adds enchanting light fixtures that mimic a starry night sky to complete the magical look.
The homeowners, Erica and Jerry are ecstatic with the new bathroom, and Matt successfully transformed their small, outdated bathroom into a luxurious spa. The couple couldn't believe how functional and mesmerizing their new space turned out. The episode ends with Matt's signature finish, a toast celebrating Erica and Jerry's new bathroom and a well-deserved soak in the tub.
