        "text": "Custom tile offers complete design flexibility and durability, whereas prefabricated units offer faster, more budget-friendly installation. Acrylic or fiberglass shower inserts install quickly and require minimal seam maintenance, but they come in fixed dimensions and can feel standard. A custom tile or marble shower allows you to build around precise bathroom dimensions, incorporate built-in shampoo niches, and customize bench seating. However, tile requires a larger initial investment, precise waterproofing behind the walls, and ongoing grout care. The right choice depends on your budget, timeline, and whether you plan to alter your existing bathroom footprint.",
