You are probably tired of fixing your shower base now and then and are looking for one long lasting solution. Investing in a swanstone shower base is perhaps the best option for you compared to others. You will probably be scarred by the look of a demolished tiled shower base. Water gradually infiltrates and finds its way through the grout on its floor and finally the tiled shower floor will peel out and the revealed stuff will disgust you. A preformed swanstone shower base is by far the safest option you would ever want to go for. A swanstone solid surface is 100% non porous and if installed on a firm mortar bed will never flex so will last for ages and steel keep its aesthetic value. It is made pre-sloping towards the drain and will of course be the easiest to clean.

Another great advantage with the swanstone shower base is that its installation is an easy DIY (do-it-yourself) procedure and that is why most plumbing supply companies and stores will not find it making any sense to install it for clients. Only that you need to make sure you prepare the support base properly with mortar before you install the swanstone shower pan over it. Many people may not mind the grouts and will get their walls tiled. However, this may increase the chances of leakage especially if the tiles are not installed well. But why risk doing that when you can get the matching decorative swanstone panels? These kits will create a wall that runs 72 inch high above the floor and will glue onto the existing wall surface to perfectly complement your swanstone shower base. Most household cleaners will easily clean swanstone solid surfaces that will resist mold and mildew.

The prices for the swanstone shower bases will range between $150 to about $600. Many people will advise that it’s not the cost that matters while some like me will tend to disagree. It is true that proper installation on a mortar base increases the firmness of any swanstone shower pan but the cheaper options may not last long bearing in mind that some may not be from the real plumbing supply companies. That’s why some people will complain of their shower pans eventually flexing and not even cleaning well. Do not be shortchanged by unscrupulous dealers so go for the real thing and your swanstone shower base may last a lifetime.
