There are dozens of companies operating in Central and Upstate NY promising “1 day” shower installations. If you are a homeowner who reads our write-ups and case studies, you know how we feel about quick, acrylic-based installs. When it comes to complete luxury bathroom remodels using premium solid-surface materials and high-quality fixtures, we are in the business and can only think of a few reputable companies capable of delivering that level of work.


Joe, a homeowner in the Syracuse area, was looking for a boutique bathroom remodeling contractor that could accommodate specific requests and take the time to do the job properly. His project included converting an old and rarely used garden tub into a standard-sized deep-soaker alcove tub while extending the adjacent walk-in shower to a full 60-inch footprint. The remodel also included new bathroom flooring, a new vanity, upgraded fixtures, and a new toilet.


One important detail was that his wife, Anita, was accustomed to having a seated makeup space built into her vanity. They were having difficulty finding a bathroom remodeler willing to provide custom cabinetry and a made-to-order solution. That is exactly the type of project we specialize in at Bath Pros.

We will be upfront: the project took longer than originally anticipated. This is common in older homes, and we uncovered multiple issues once demolition began. There was a pre-existing cracked PVC waste line underneath the tub. The original pan needed replacement due to a crack during installation. There were also shipping delays with the flooring Anita selected. Despite the setbacks and multiple visits, we stayed committed and completed every detail we promised. Lastly, our install tech had a baby in the middle of the job resulting in delays. We couldn’t help that last one.

The completed shower features a mid-threshold Onyx Collection base in Platinum with two matching sidewalls and a Pepper cultured-stone accent wall. We also installed custom Onyx trim to finish the enclosure cleanly. For added storage, we incorporated a Liberty Tall recessed caddy, which provides ample space for daily shower products, and a custom shaving foot cubby for comfort and accessibility. The garden tub was replaced with a deep-soaker alcove tub paired with Platinum Onyx wall panels. All plumbing fixtures are high-end from the American Standard ‘Aspirations’ line.

The new vanity was custom-built to fit the bathroom layout and homeowner needs. It includes a seated makeup area for Anita and an Onyx countertop that matches the shower walls for a cohesive design. The flooring was updated to a modern, waterproof product for improved durability and comfort.

Sometimes good things take time, especially when remodeling an older home. In this case, the finished bathroom is a major upgrade in both function and appearance, and the photos speak for themselves.
