The tubs come in many shapes, widths, depths and colors and all have to be installed so that the plumbing is not showing unless it is an integral part of the design, such as chrome piping coming up from the floor .The faucets, mixers and shower heads come in many, many styles and prices. The installation of these elements and fixtures are the work for the skilled bath contractor.

The sinks and vessels are of every size and shape that one can image and are installed in combinations that give the modern bathroom the sizzle that the term modern signifies. The sinks and vessels range from fiberglass to blown glass pieces of art and the prices reflect this. The sinks and vessels all have intricate installation challenges. The vanities are in most cases are very well designed. Some of the vanities float along the walls and some are stand alone in the center of the bathroom. These vanities require very skilled contractors to install the vanity and to install the plumbing correctly to achieve that perfect modern look.
The other important parts of the modern bathroom are the lighting and the mirrors. In most cases the lighting is complicated requiring cutting holes through mirror glass and cutting into expensive vanities to get the light fixtures in the correct spots. In almost all installations the mirror glass will have to be cut at least once for something and a miss cut is expensive. All of these finish items need to be installed by professionals to avoid disaster.
