Onyx shower walls are one of the most popular upgrades we install — a seamless, low-maintenance alternative to tile that looks custom because it is. As an authorized Onyx Collection dealer serving Bismarck and Fargo, The Bathroom Store builds made-to-order Onyx showers in a range of colors and finishes, with a free in-home design consultation before any work begins. Here’s what makes Onyx worth it, the colors and finishes to choose from, and how cost works.
Key Takeaways
- Onyx Collection panels are custom, made-to-order solid-surface products manufactured in the USA.
- Seamless and grout-free — non-porous surfaces that resist mold and wipe clean easily.
- Four finishes — Gloss, Matte, Tile, and Wavy Tile — plus custom colors, niches, and benches.
- The Bathroom Store is your local authorized Onyx dealer for Bismarck & Fargo, with a free in-home estimate.
What Makes Onyx Shower Walls Worth the Investment?
Durability and low upkeep are what set Onyx apart from standard tile. The solid-surface construction holds its color all the way through the panel, so a scratch or chip won’t expose a mismatched layer underneath, and it resists the chips, cracks, and daily wear that tile takes on over time. For Bismarck and Fargo homeowners dealing with hard water and dry winters, that resilience pays off season after season.
The seamless design is the other big advantage. With no grout lines, there are far fewer places for mold and mildew to take hold — cleaning becomes a quick wipe-down rather than a weekend scrubbing project, and a diluted white-vinegar solution handles routine maintenance without harsh chemicals.
- Solid-surface panels with color all the way through — no exposed layers if scratched
- Grout-free seams limit mold and mildew growth
- Non-porous surface wipes clean with a simple vinegar solution
- Walk-in configurations support accessibility and aging in place
- Licensed, insured installation protects your investment
Onyx Colors & Finishes
Onyx gives Bismarck and Fargo homeowners real options for matching a bathroom’s style — from sleek and modern to a subtle stone-inspired texture. Durability stays the same no matter which finish you choose:
| Finish | Look |
|---|---|
| Gloss | Smooth and classic — the easiest to wipe clean |
| Matte | A softer sheen that hides water spots well |
| Tile | The look of tile without the grout lines |
| Wavy Tile | A dimensional pattern for added visual interest |
Design flexibility goes beyond the surface. Because every Onyx shower is made to order, it adapts to the exact shape of your space — built-in niches, benches, custom colors, and accents included. An oddly sized alcove in an older Fargo home or a tight corner shower in a Bismarck bath can still get a clean, cohesive, custom finish.
What Do Onyx Shower Walls Cost?
Because every Onyx shower is custom-built to your space, cost depends on the size of the shower, the finish and color you choose, and add-ons like niches, benches, and glass. Rather than quote a flat rate, we give you a personalized, no-obligation estimate during your free in-home consultation. Onyx is a premium option compared to a basic tub-to-shower conversion, but flexible financing is available to spread it into affordable monthly payments — and the low-maintenance, long-lasting finish makes it worth it for many homeowners.
Are Onyx Showers Good for Aging in Place?
Yes. We build accessible, low-step walk-in Onyx showers designed for long-term comfort, not just style. For Bismarck and Fargo homeowners planning to stay in their homes for years, features like low-threshold entries, built-in seating, and slip-resistant surfaces reduce fall risk while keeping the bathroom looking beautiful.

Frequently Asked Questions
What colors and finishes are available for Onyx shower walls?
The Onyx Collection offers Gloss, Matte, Tile, and Wavy Tile finishes, all built from the same durable solid-surface system, with custom colors and textures to match any bathroom style. You can compare them in person during your free in-home consultation.
How do Onyx shower walls compare to tile for maintenance?
Onyx panels are seamless and grout-free, which limits the mold and mildew that collect in tile grout. Routine cleaning takes just a diluted white-vinegar solution — no harsh chemicals or scrubbing.
Does the color go all the way through the panel?
Yes. Onyx is a solid-surface material with color throughout, so a scratch or chip won’t reveal a different layer underneath and the surface stays uniform for years.
