Bathroom Remodel in Cromwell, CT: Freestanding Tub, Glass Walk In Shower and Shaker Vanity

Fiderio & Sons • October 26, 2026

A bathroom is one of the hardest working rooms in any home, and it is often the first room homeowners want to change once it starts to feel dated or cramped. This project spotlight follows a full bathroom remodel in Cromwell, CT, where Fiderio & Sons created a bright, relaxing space with a freestanding soaking tub, a glass enclosed walk in shower, and a classic shaker style vanity. The result is a room that feels calm and timeless while working well for everyday routines.

The Cromwell Bathroom Project

The finished bathroom centers on a freestanding soaking tub set in a sunny corner beneath two windows. White beadboard wainscoting wraps the lower walls around the tub, adding texture and a touch of traditional character, while white plantation shutters let in natural light and offer privacy when needed.

Next to the tub, a glass enclosed walk in shower is finished with soft neutral subway style tile. The shower includes a rain style shower head and a handheld shower on a slide bar, and a half wall with a marble look cap keeps the space open while defining the shower area. Matte black fixtures and hardware run throughout the room, giving the light color palette a crisp, cohesive accent.

The vanity is a light gray shaker style cabinet with furniture style feet, drawers for organized storage, and a marble look countertop with an undermount sink. Globe style vanity lights, a mirrored cabinet, and a recessed wall cabinet add function without crowding the room. Large format marble look floor tile ties everything together, and the toilet sits in its own separate room for added privacy.

How Fiderio & Sons Handled It

Fiderio & Sons is a family owned and operated, full service design build company that has served Connecticut homeowners since 1984. On a bathroom like this one, that means one team guides the project from the first conversation through the final walkthrough. Homeowners can explore cabinetry, countertops, tile, and fixtures at the Fiderio Design Center and Showroom in Meriden, which makes it easier to see how finishes look together before decisions are final.

Our team manages the details that often cause stress during a remodel, including permits, scheduling, and coordination between trades. We focus on clear and consistent communication, realistic expectations, and a clean, respectful job site so the household experiences as little disruption as possible. Our dedicated staff across sales, administration, and production works together so homeowners always know what is happening next.

What to Know Before a Bathroom Remodel Like This

Start by thinking about how you use the room every day. Some homeowners love a long soak, while others rarely use a tub and would rather have a larger shower. If you are weighing both options, our guide on choosing between a walk in shower and a bathtub can help you decide.

Budget is shaped by the size of the room, the layout, plumbing changes, material selections, and any conditions found once walls and floors are opened. Our article on what drives the cost of a bathroom remodel in Connecticut explains these factors in more detail. Timelines also depend on scope, product lead times, and permit schedules, and our post on how long a remodeling project takes in Connecticut outlines what to expect.

Finally, plan time to see materials in person. Visiting a design center helps you compare finishes side by side and feel confident in your choices. Flexible financing options are also available for qualified homeowners who want to spread out the cost of their project.

Bathroom Remodel Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can a bathroom have both a freestanding tub and a walk in shower?

    Yes, in many cases. It depends on the size and layout of the room, where the plumbing is located, and how much clearance each fixture needs. During a consultation, our team reviews your space and talks through options so you can decide whether both fit comfortably or whether one larger feature makes more sense. This Cromwell bathroom shows how a tub and a glass enclosed shower can sit side by side in a well planned layout.

    Yes. Fiderio & Sons provides comprehensive project management, which includes handling permits along with scheduling and coordinating the work.
