Custom Onyx Shower Upgrade in Columbia City

A lot of older showers get the job done - but just barely. The sliding glass doors, the dated chrome framing, the cramped feel. It works, but it doesn't feel good. That's exactly what this homeowner in Columbia City was dealing with before we got started.

We pulled out the old sliding door setup and replaced it with a fully custom Onyx shower. Onyx panels are one of our go-to solutions because they're non-porous, easy to clean, and they give you a polished look without the grout maintenance headaches that come with tile. We paired the gray textured panels with a vertical mosaic accent strip running floor to ceiling - it adds just enough visual interest without making the space feel busy.

The built-in bench and recessed niche are where the everyday comfort piece really comes together. The bench is solid and low-profile, and the niche gives you a dedicated spot for soap and shampoo without suction cup caddies hanging everywhere. It's the kind of detail that makes the shower feel intentional rather than just functional.

We also swapped in a rain head setup overhead, which works perfectly with the open, open-frame feel of the finished space. No more sliding around frosted glass panels - just a clean, open shower that feels bigger and works better. That's what a well-planned Onyx shower install can do for a bathroom that's been stuck in neutral for years.
