If you live in New England, New York, New Jersey, or Eastern Pennsylvania, our humid summers can turn a traditional bathroom into a high-maintenance headache. Older homes across the region often feature unique, non-standard dimensions. Standard retail kits rarely fit, and traditional tile requires endless scrubbing.


It is time to elevate your home with a high-quality, custom grout-free shower system. 

Benefits of a Grout-Free Bathroom

Traditional tile may look beautiful on installation day, but the porous grout lines naturally absorb moisture, trap dirt, and invite mildew. Grout-free shower systems eliminate these common failure points entirely, providing a permanent solution for a clean home and body.


  • Effortless Maintenance: Without grout lines to trap dirt and mildew, routine cleaning requires nothing more than a simple wipe-down.


  • Precision Customization: Because Northeast homes often feature unique footprints, we manufacture custom shower walls and custom shower bases to fit your exact specifications. We build to your dimensions, ensuring a flawless fit that standard retail kits cannot provide.


  • High-End Aesthetics: Enjoy a premium, seamless look that elevates your bathroom design. We offer beautiful color selections that instantly modernize any space. 

Complete the Look: Seamless Vanity Tops

A beautiful new shower deserves a matching focal point. Upgrading your shower while leaving an outdated sink can make your remodel feel incomplete. In addition to our grout-free shower systems, we also manufacture premium seamless vanity tops. By upgrading your sink area with a seamless vanity top, you create a cohesive, sophisticated design that perfectly complements your new shower. 

How a Connecticut Manufacturer Serves the Entire Northeast

Syn-Mar Products has been a trusted manufacturer based in Ellington, Connecticut since 1977. While our roots are firmly planted in New England, our reach extends far beyond. We successfully partner with and supply premium plumbing wholesalers and kitchen and bath showrooms across New England, New York (including the Hudson Valley and Greater Albany), New Jersey, and Eastern PA.


How do we deliver exceptional service across state lines? It comes down to our practical, no-nonsense business model and our dedication to quality. We deliver directly to your business location throughout the Northeast on our own trucks, ensuring consistent and timely deliveries.

The Direct-to-Dealer Advantage

Many competitors in the bathroom remodeling space rely on middle-man sales distribution companies. This extra layer often leads to miscommunication, poor customer service, and delayed lead times.


At Syn-Mar, we do things differently. We sell direct to our dealer partners.


When a showroom in Northern New Jersey, the Hudson Valley, or Eastern Pennsylvania orders a custom shower base, they are dealing directly with the manufacturer. This direct relationship guarantees competitive lead times, highly responsive customer support, and the exact custom sizing your project requires. We make our customers' lives easy with grout-free shower systems. 

Quality Craftsmanship Backed by Our 5-Year Warranty

We confidently stand behind our manufacturing with a solid 5-year warranty on our Syn-Mar products, giving both our dealer partners and homeowners total peace of mind.
