Beachmere Fibreglass – Shower Cubicles, Enclosures & Custom Fibreglass Products

At Beachmere Fibreglass, we specialise in durable, one-piece fibreglass shower cubicles and enclosures, as well custom-made fibreglass roofs for horse floats and RVs, hot rod car bodies, guards, and wind deflectors for truck bodies. Below are answers to some of our most commonly asked questions.

Shower Cubicles & Enclosures

What are the main advantages of installing a one-piece fibreglass shower cubicle?

We believe there are four main advantages to installing a one-piece fibreglass shower cubicle. 1) The overall cost of installation will be far less than any other method of putting in a shower cubicle; 2) Because the shower cubicle is an enclosed waterproof unit, no additional waterproofing is needed and the risk of water damage is greatly reduced as compared to any other shower system; 3) Installation of the shower cubicle is very simple indeed. Essentially all you need is a few lengths of timber batons and a good silicon adhesive; 4) Cleaning the shower cubicle is far easier than cleaning mould build-up inherent to tiled shower walls. Just a wipe down with a soapy cloth is all you need.

My doorways are too small for a large one-piece cubicle, do I need to buy a small shower?

We have a range of shower cubicles that will fit through a conventional internal doorway width that is no wider than 790mm. Some of our shower one-piece shower cubicles can fit through even smaller doorways as small as 500mm wide. We also offer two and three-piece fibreglass shower cubicles that can be separated to fit through narrow doorways or hallways—so you can still enjoy a spacious, high-quality shower enclosure.

Where are your showers made?

All our fibreglass showers and enclosures are proudly manufactured in-house at our custom facility in Caboolture, Queensland.

How can I pay for my shower cubicle?

We accept bank transfers and cash.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. Our shower cubicles come with a 12-month warranty against faulty workmanship and materials. Accessories are covered by their respective manufacturer warranties.

How do I clean my fibreglass shower enclosure?

Avoid abrasive cleaners. Just a soapy cloth is all you need to clean the walls.

Do you deliver?

Yes, we arrange delivery throughout Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, across NSW, Melbourne, all major cities and towns up to Cairns and beyond. We also cater to clients further afield in regional Queensland and interstate.

Can we pick up our shower cubicle from your factory in Caboolture?

Absolutely. We can assist with safe loading. The shower should ideally lie face down during transport on your Ute or small trailer. Bring one packing blanket and straps for securing it.

Can I visit your factory to view the showers?

Yes, you're welcome to visit. While we don’t always have every size of shower cubicle in stock at all times, there will always be a range of units onsite for your inspection.

How long will it take to get a shower cubicle once ordered?

We try to keep most sizes in stock, but because we are the manufacturer of these showers, it usually only takes a week or two to make a new one if we are out of stock of a particular size.

Do I need to support the floor of the shower cubicle with a bed of mortar or similar?

No. All our shower cubicles have their own structural integrity rated to 170kg. All you will need is a good thick bed of silicon-based adhesive to hold the shower down and remove the ‘drumminess’ out of the show floor as you walk on it.

How do I fix the shower to existing walls?

All of our shower cubicles come with five flanges that sit at right-angles to your walls. By securing a simple timber baton (4x2 or similar) against your wall, the shower flanges can be attached to your batons using a good thick bead of silicon adhesive.

Do I need to waterproof under the shower?

No. This is one of the advantages of our one-piece fully moulded showers. Just like a bath, all of our showers are enclosed waterproofed units.

My existing waste outlet doesn’t line up—do I need to cut my slab?

No. While all our shower cubicles essentially sit flush to the floor, we are able to instruct you on making a very simple 130mm high timber base onto which the shower will be able to be placed, allowing for easy plumbing adjustments without modifying your concrete slab.
