Changing shower enclosure trim

I have just moved into a newly constructed home. The master bath shower enclosure is trimmed out in chrome. I want to change it to bronze. How do I do this myself? Where do you buy the trim? Is it possible to paint the shower trim?

These are decisions you make before, not after. Paint aint gonna work here.

Paint will not hold up in a shower. Check shower and shower door for a brand name and go to a local plumbing/bath supply store. Major manufacturers often offer chrome or brass trim as options. Some are now offering oil rubbed bronze.

If you are talking about the shower door then YES you can change it. Go buy a new door.

If you are talking about metal edging somewhere in the tile installation your stuck with it.

Bathroom Remodel - Codes? Inspections?

E

ewheatley on Apr 10, 2008

Good Morning- I am starting a bathroom remodel this summer. It is a small bathroom, 9' x 7' I plan a complete tear out of all fixtures, tile and lighting. I then plan to install a whirlpool tub (in the alcove), a fan/light/heater in the ceiling, two sconces, a humidistat for the fan and possibly a heated floor. Currently the lighting is an over the mirror light and a ceiling light. Both are run off of a GELV switch. I plan to remove the GELV system from the room. So my question is two fold. I have done a good amount of wiring in my house already, and believe that I have done the work correctly and followed code. A) Where can I find the Maryland Code requirements? B) Do I have to have my work inspected? If so, how do I go about setting that up? All advice is appreciated. :) thanks

My kitchen counter is covered with cheap peel & stick tile that is chipped, nicked or falling off in places. So not only is this a health concern but it's also very ugly! I rent so I would like to replace this stuff cheap- suggestions anybody?:eek:
