From historic Colonial homes in Litchfield County to modern coastal builds along the Sound, Connecticut homes have incredible character. But if you have ever tried remodeling a CT bathroom, you already know the challenge: uneven floors, non-standard footprints, and outdated tile with stubborn mold.


Connecticut homeowners love the traditions that make our state great—whether that is debating the best New Haven-style apizza, cheering on UConn basketball, or appreciating local craftsmanship. When it comes to your home, you don't need to look to luxury design hubs in New York City or Boston to get a high-end, custom bathroom.


Right here in Ellington, CT, Syn-Mar Products has been engineering high-quality, grout-free shower systems and custom shower bases since 1977. Here is everything you need to know about buying a Syn-Mar shower for your Connecticut home.

Why Connecticut Homes Need Custom, Grout-Free Shower Systems

Older Connecticut homes are notorious for unique architectural quirks. Standard, off-the-shelf shower kits from big-box stores rarely fit aged framing cleanly. On the flip side, tiled showers require endless maintenance, especially with New England’s humid summers and cold winters pulling moisture into porous grout lines.


Upgrading to a custom grout-free shower system gives you the best of both worlds:


  • Tailored to Fit Any CT Footprint: We manufacture custom shower bases designed to fit virtually any floor plan.


  • Zero Grout, Zero Grime: Smooth, non-porous shower walls completely eliminate scrub brushes and harsh chemical cleaners.


  • Built for Longevity: Engineered to handle daily family life without cracking or leaking, ensuring your home stays protected.

The Local Advantage: Manufactured Right in Ellington, CT

We take immense pride in our local roots. Because our manufacturing facility is located right in Tolland County, we maintain total quality control over every custom shower wall and base that leaves our shop. We don't rely on middle-man sales distribution companies; we deliver our products directly to our local partners on our own trucks. 

As Vice President Derek Hill puts it:

"Connecticut homeowners appreciate honest quality and local reliability. We’ve been manufacturing right here in Ellington for nearly 50 years. Whether your home was built in 1790 or 2024, we custom-engineer grout-free shower systems to fit your space perfectly—and deliver them directly to our premium dealer showrooms on our own fleet."

Complete the Look: Seamless Vanity Tops

While upgrading your shower makes the biggest splash, no Connecticut bathroom remodel is complete without updating the sink area.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I buy a Syn-Mar shower directly from your factory in Ellington, CT?

    No, we do not sell retail directly to the public. We sell exclusively through B2B channels to plumbing wholesalers and premium dealer showrooms. You can easily find an authorized showroom near you using our online "Find a Dealer" locator.  

  • Does Syn-Mar install shower systems in Connecticut homes?

    No, Syn-Mar is strictly a manufacturer, not an installer or remodeler. Your local contractor, plumber, or remodeler will handle the physical installation of our custom shower walls and bases.  

  • Can Syn-Mar make a custom shower base for an older, odd-sized Connecticut home?

    Yes! Custom sizing is one of our greatest strengths. We specialize in manufacturing custom shower bases engineered to match exact dimensions, making them ideal for historic or uniquely shaped Connecticut bathrooms.

    We stand firmly behind the craftsmanship of our products. All Syn-Mar manufactured grout-free shower systems, shower bases, and seamless vanity tops come with a 5-year warranty.  

  • How do I maintain my grout-free shower walls?

    Because there are no porous grout lines to trap mold or soap scum, cleaning is effortless. Simply wipe down the non-porous surface with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner.
