Glass block walk-in showers look clean and modern. They\u2019re often used in the master bathroom to create a distinct look, but they can be used in any bathroom where you\u2019re looking for something other than a cookie-cutter appearance. Contrary to what you might think, glass block showers are also surprisingly affordable.<\/p>\n

Although glass block showers work for most bathrooms, you do need a space that is at least 5-by-3 feet, in most cases, to dedicate to the shower. The entry should be at least 3 feet away from the shower head to keep the water contained. If you don\u2019t have that much space, a glass door might be unavoidable.<\/p>\n
Most walk-in glass block showers cost anywhere from $1,200 to $3,000<\/strong> installed. That includes just the glass block wall or walls, not the shower pan, shower valve, or any tile work inside the shower. Those task are usually handled by a separate plumber and tiler, although you can hire a bathroom designer or contractor to coordinate all of the work, hiring a plumber and tiler as subcontractors.
\n<\/p>\n The price varies based on the type of blocks you choose, the size of the shower and the shape of the shower. Colored blocks tend to be more expensive than clear blocks, and curved or rounded shapes are more expensive than square designs. <\/p>\n To save money, some people choose to tackle a glass block shower as a DIY project. This is not impossible if you\u2019re handy, and it\u2019s much easier if you purchase a ready-made glass block shower kit. These come with all the parts and components you need, as well as detailed instructions. However, you\u2019ll still need to hire a plumber if the shower valve or drain needs to moved<\/p>\n
