If you're remodeling your bathroom the subject of what to do with the shower will come up. Keep your current one, buy a new one, do all the work yourself or buy something pre-made? Those are the basic options available. We'll evaluate the pros and cons.

Prefabricated or Ready-made Shower Stalls

PROS

They're already done, you just pick it up at the home improvement store

It's a faster install than a custom tile application

They're lighter than all the tile a custom job requires, which can be useful in certain situations

They're fairly pliable so if the floor underneath it settles the shower won't crack and look ugly, or more importantly, leak

CONS

They aren't as pretty as a custom tile job, no matter how much decorating you do

There are few design options available, in fact most are plain white

Depending on how its installed and how thick the material is when you stand on the floor it can bend and pop as if you're in a plastic trailer stall

Since they're pre-made they may be the wrong size for your doorway

Custom Tiled Showers

PROS

It's built the way you want so the design options are limitless and you can easily make it fit any available space

A box of tile is easy to fit through small doorways and halls

When you resell the house your buyers will be more impressed by custom tile than they would be a pre-made stall

CONS

Much more expensive, either in dollars or labor

Time consuming for do it yourself project, also much more difficult

The tile can crack if the house hasn't settled yet, or if the floor underneath the shower settles somehow. Replacing that cracked tile can be a hassle. The crack can also create a leak.
