Tub to Shower Conversions
Tub-to-Shower Conversion Services
A tub-to-shower conversion is a practical and modern way to upgrade your bathroom without the cost and disruption of a full remodel. At Bathroom Design & Remodeling, we specialize in converting outdated bathtubs into sleek, functional showers designed for comfort, safety, and everyday convenience. This service is ideal for homeowners who want a more accessible and easier-to-maintain bathroom while enhancing the overall appearance of the space.
As lifestyles change, many homeowners find that traditional bathtubs no longer meet their needs. A tub-to-shower conversion offers a smart solution that improves usability while refreshing the look of your bathroom.
What Is a Tub-to-Shower Conversion?
A tub-to-shower conversion involves removing an existing bathtub and replacing it with a custom-designed shower system. The conversion allows for improved accessibility, modern design options, and better use of available space.
This type of project may include:
Removal of the existing bathtub
Installation of a low-threshold or walk-in shower base
Waterproof wall systems or tile
Updated plumbing fixtures
Optional glass enclosures or shower doors
By focusing on efficiency and design, a tub-to-shower conversion delivers a noticeable improvement without a complete renovation.
Benefits of Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Tub-to-shower conversions provide both functional and aesthetic advantages, making them one of the most popular bathroom upgrades.
Improved Accessibility and Safety
Stepping over a bathtub can become challenging over time. Converting to a shower reduces barriers and can be customized with safety features for easier access.
Modern Appearance
Replacing a bulky tub with a clean, streamlined shower instantly updates the look of your bathroom and creates a more open feel.
Easier Maintenance
Showers typically require less cleaning and maintenance than bathtubs, especially when paired with modern wall systems and fixtures.
Better Use of Space
Removing a tub can free up valuable space, making the bathroom feel larger and more functional.
