Corian is a durable material that is often used to make kitchen countertops, but it is also ideal for redesigning your bathroom because it is functional, easy to clean, and comes in a variety of colors and styles. There is also the great advantage of discouraging mold growth, as Corian has a non-porous surface that prevents the settling of moisture. This is a particular concern in the bathroom, where a warm, humid environment is the norm.
How mold grows in the bathroom
- Mold spores are constantly permeating the air. Mold itself is generally harmless until the spores settle and start growing in your home. When you see mold on a surface, it is actually eating the material it covers. Mold only consumes organic material, which is why Corian is completely mold resistant. Damage caused by mold infestation is an incredibly expensive-to-fix problem that can be easy sidestepped by opting to install Corian.
Where to use Corian
- Using Corian for your bathroom countertops is ideal because of its durable, stain-resistant surface. However, it also makes a great shower covering. With Corian showers, there is no need for grout, which eliminates concerns about deep cleaning and loose tiles. You can achieve the look of artisan tile without the associated worry and maintenance. There are over 100 color choices for Corian shower coverings, and they are designed to last a lifetime. You might even be excited to clean your new bathroom because it is so easy. Just gently wipe Corian surfaces clean using a mild cleanser and a sponge.

The shower is a common place for mold to accumulate because of residual water that can linger after you turn the shower off. A Corian shower liner will prevent mold from growing on the walls. However, your shower curtain is still prone to mold and milder.
This video explains how to prevent mold from taking over your shower. With a spray bottle and some diluted bleach you can give your shower a weekly protective coating that will prevent a mold problem in the future.

When you remodel your bathroom, you may want to consider eliminating your bathtub and opting for a full shower instead. Many people do not use their bathtubs more than a couple times per year, and they are a common source of cleaning difficulties. You can streamline the efficiency of your bathroom by saying goodbye to your bathtub and installing a fantastic-looking shower. Here are some of the benefits you will notice after your bathroom remodel:
- Save water: You can help the environment and reduce your water bills by selecting a low-flow showerhead. Filling a bathtub can take anywhere from 30-60 gallons, but the average shower with a low-flow showerhead only takes about 20 gallons.
- Easier access: Getting in and out of the bathtub is a common cause for slip and fall accidents in the home. A standing shower has an easy access door so that you don’t have to worry about the hazard of stepping over the bathtub wall. This is especially beneficial for senior living when getting in and out of the tub becomes more difficult.
- Open space: Removing the bathtub from your bathroom can make the space feel larger and give the bathroom an elegant look. There are many cost-effective options for shower linings, including vinyl and stain resistant Corian, that will help you achieve a gorgeous, low-maintenance décor.
See how a standing shower can transform your bathroom by visiting Bathroom Magic. We specialize in affordable bathroom makeovers with customized Corian shower finishes and fixtures with designer appeal. Learn more about us on our website or call (888) 449-9285.

For many, updating the bathroom is a great way to increase your home’s value and make your home more marketable. Here’s a brief guide on how you can increase your home’s value through simple upgrades and updates to your bathroom.
- Add Bath and Shower Liners
Is your bathtub stained? Is the shower in your bathroom an outdated color and style? Instead of demolishing your entire tub or shower, liners allow you to enjoy a new, fresh-looking shower or bath quickly and effectively—and without the high cost of replacing the bathtub or shower. Best of all, bathtub and shower liners are durable, easy to clean, slip resistant, and will look great for years.
Like bath and shower liners, new flooring allows you to modernize the look of your bathroom, without gutting the walls and starting from scratch. Bathroom floor tile comes in a variety of colors and textures, and will give your bathroom an updated look—perfect for appealing to homebuyers. Best of all, your bathroom will receive a facelift without the surgery.
- Invest in New Vanities, Cabinetry, and Fixtures
New vanities and cabinetry can create luxury and convenience in large and small bathrooms alike. For a beautiful added touch, updated fixtures will complement your bathroom’s style, embellishing the look in a way that stands out and says “buy me!”
If you’re looking to boost your home’s value with updates to the bathroom, then contact Bathroom Magic. With a relatively low overhead, you’ll find that you stand to gain an even more substantial return on investment than if you hired a remodeling company.
