Bath Crashers, season 7 episode 4, titled "Swan Be Gone," follows host and licensed contractor Matt Muenster as he helps a couple renovate their outdated and swan-themed bathroom into a modern and functional space. The couple is tired of their cramped and outdated bathroom, which features a clawfoot bathtub with a swan faucet, a swan towel rack, and a swan light fixture. They want to transform their bathroom into a luxurious and relaxing space where they can enjoy after a long day at work.
As soon as Matt arrives, he gets to work by assessing the bathroom layout, which is cramped and awkward, and doesn't provide enough storage and counter space. He then consults with the couple about their design preferences and budget. They express their desire for a spa-like experience that incorporates natural elements like wood, stone, and greenery.
Matt starts the renovation by taking out the cramped shower and bathtub and replacing them with a spacious walk-in shower that features white subway tiles and gray hexagonal floor tiles. He also installs a modern rainfall showerhead, a handheld showerhead, and a niche for storage.
Next, Matt takes out the dated vanity and replaces it with a custom-made wooden vanity that has drawers and a quartz countertop. He also installs two vessel sinks and modern faucets. To add more storage to the room, Matt installs a white wall-mounted cabinet with glass doors that showcase the couple's towels and toiletries.
To introduce natural elements to the bathroom, Matt installs a rustic wooden bench in the shower and a stone backsplash behind the sinks. He also adds greenery by installing a living wall that is made of plants and has a water feature at the bottom. Additionally, he replaces the old swan light fixture with a modern globe pendant light.
To tie the whole room together, Matt installs porcelain floor tiles that complement the white subway tiles in the shower and the gray hexagonal floor tiles. He also paints the walls a neutral color to make the natural elements in the room stand out.
Throughout the renovation process, Matt explains to the couple his design decisions and educates them on different materials, fixtures, and finishes. He also shows them how to use the new features in the bathroom, such as the handheld showerhead and the living wall.
At the end of the episode, Matt unveils the newly renovated bathroom to the couple, who are thrilled with the transformation. They appreciate the attention to detail and the incorporation of natural elements that create a spa-like atmosphere. They also love the spacious shower and the extra storage that the new vanity and wall cabinet provide. Overall, they are ecstatic with their new bathroom and can't wait to use it.
