Planning a new shower and not sure whether acrylic or tiles will suit your Wellington home best? We install both every week, so we know how each option performs in our windy, coastal climate. Acrylic showers typically offer faster installation and simpler day‑to‑day cleaning, while tiled showers give you more design flexibility and can work well when detailed and waterproofed correctly. Cost is driven less by the look and more by what is behind the walls: substrate condition, any leak damage, plumbing changes and the level of waterproofing and detailing required. In exposed or coastal locations, getting the membrane, tray fall, joints and glass detailing right is critical, no matter which finish you choose. We can assess your bathroom, explain the trade-offs for your specific space, and recommend an acrylic or tiled solution that meets code, suits your lifestyle and is built to last. Ready to compare options for your home or project? Book an on-site assessment and quote with Wellington Showers and we will talk you through the best-fit approach before you commit.
