It’s not to say that your bathroom remodeling project wont have different but similar problems, the best advise is to be persitent, insist on getting something you will like. Things might not turn out exactly as you invision at the outset, but often times, these kinds of problems present better solutions that you hadn’t considered in the first place.
A sheet metal box designed to accept mortar and tile of your own design – this should fit the bill. Finally an answer to the soap dish problem – or so we thought.
Our contractor quoted far too much money for the metal soap dish box frame – $325 in fact. This was his way of staying on schedule. Any changes that would disrupt the schedule would cost $325 no matter how insignificant compared to other parts of the job. This had a two fold effect – to dissuade any schedule disrupting changes, and two, to compensate well if the requested change was insisted upon.
Fortunately, there was another trick available for solving the corner soap dish issue. Since we were having the cabinet topped with granite, and the window sill redone in the same granite – why not have a triangle cut from the same piece of granite to serve as a corner soap dish.
Since this option didn’t affect the schedule, it didn’t impact the bottom line cost, which already included a nominal cost for a soap dish.
This solution actually works out for the best. Since the shower soap dish is made put of the same piece of granite as the cabinet-top and the window sill, there will be accents of the granite through out the bathroom. And it’s custom so nobody will have a soap dish exactly like it. That’s custom – as in without being so individual that it hurts resale value.
