If you’re like most homeowners thinking about a bathroom upgrade, a few questions probably pop into your head right away:

How long is this going to take?
Will it actually look good in my house?
Is the quality going to last—or am I going to be patching caulk and cleaning grout every few months?

At NexGen Baths, these questions aren’t new. We hear them every day. And after remodeling bathrooms across Central Iowa and installing hundreds of The Onyx Collection showers, we can tell you: great bathrooms are built on three key things—plus one more that matters most.

Quality - Partnership - Transparent Pricing = NexGen Baths

1. It Fits Your Schedule

Let’s be honest—life’s already busy. Whether you're juggling kids’ activities, work or hosting holiday guests, the last thing you want is to lose your bathroom for weeks.

That’s why we’ve streamlined our process to be efficient, clean and respectful of your time. From the first consult to the final install, we show up when we say we will—and we keep the disruption to a minimum.

Some installs are complete within 1-day. And yes, that includes cleanup. When we’re done, your home will look like we were never there (except for your beautiful new bathroom).

2. It Fits Your Style

Your bathroom should feel like yours, not a one-size-fits-all kit.

We install custom The Onyx Collection showers—built to your exact space, preferences and color choices. From matte finishes to marble-look walls to built-in corner seats, it’s all about what works for you.

We help you make design decisions that feel fresh, timeless and practical. Whether you’re going for modern, classic or easy-to-maintain, our team will guide you through every step to acheive the bathroom of your dreams. No guesswork required.

3. It Fits Your Standards

You want a bathroom that holds up. Not just looks great on install day—but still looks great five years from now.

That’s where quality comes in. The Onyx Collection is engineered to be seamless, mold-resistant and low-maintenance. No grout lines, no peeling liners and no off-the-shelf materials. Every shower base and wall panel is made to order and backed by a lifetime guarantee.

At NexGen Baths, we stand behind our work because we trust our products—and our team.

Taking care of what matters most, PEOPLE = NexGen Baths

But Here’s What Really Matters: People

Great bathrooms don’t start with materials or timelines. They start with people.

We’re a locally owned and operated business based right here in Central Iowa. That means we treat our customers like neighbors—because that’s what you are.

From your first phone call to your final walkthrough, our team is here to listen, answer questions honestly and help you choose what’s best for your home and your family. No pressure. No upsells. Just straight talk and real solutions.

It’s not just our customers who matter—our people matter, too. Our installers are trained professionals who care about doing the job right. In fact, our owners are out in the field installing bathrooms themselves. We take pride in our work because we know we're doing it right for you.
