Tub to Shower Conversion

For a truly relaxing experience, a bathroom should cater to your every need. If you’re tired of climbing in and out of a bathtub for your showers, it might be time to consider a walk-in shower.

This option not only makes showering safer, but it opens space in your bathroom, taking you from a small standing area and transporting you into the entire width of a standing shower. It might even look like a brand-new room.

Reasons to Replace Your Tub With a Shower

Many people opt to replace their tub with a shower for a variety of reasons. It is often seen as a more practical and affordable way to update the look of your bathroom while also freeing up more space. A shower can also be more accessible than a bathtub, especially if you have mobility issues or limited space in the bathroom.

Tub to Shower Conversion Process by Renuity

When it comes to bathroom renovations, one of the most popular projects is the tub to shower conversion. This process involves removing a bathtub and replacing it with a shower. There are many reasons why people opt for this type of renovation, such as creating more space, improving accessibility, or simply updating the look of their bathroom. In this guide, we will provide a comprehensive outline of the tub to shower conversion process, including planning and preparation, removal of the old tub, installation of the shower base, plumbing and electrical work, and wall surround and finishing touches.

Planning and Preparation

Before you begin any renovation project, it is important to plan and prepare. When it comes to tub to shower conversion, the first step is to assess your needs and the available space in your bathroom. Consider your family’s needs, including accessibility and safety concerns. You should also take into account the available space in your bathroom, as this will help determine the size and style of shower that you can install. Next, establish a budget and timeline for the project, and determine whether you will hire a contractor or do the work yourself. If you choose to hire a contractor, do your research and ask for references. It is also important to check for any permits or regulations that may be required for your specific location.

Removal of the Old Tub

Once you have completed the planning and preparation phase, the next step is to remove the old tub. This process involves removing fixtures and plumbing, disconnecting the tub from the walls and floor, and demolishing and removing the tub itself. It is important to take precautions to protect your flooring and walls during this process, such as using drop cloths and taking care not to damage any other fixtures in your bathroom. If you are not comfortable with this process, it is best to hire a professional to ensure that the job is done safely and correctly.

Installation of the Shower Base

The next step in the tub to shower conversion process is to install the shower base. This is an important step, as it will determine the size and shape of your new shower. When choosing a shower base, there are many options to consider, including size, shape, and material. The most common materials used for shower bases are acrylic, fiberglass, and tile. Consider the durability, maintenance, and cost of each option before making a decision. Once you have chosen a shower base, it is important to prepare the space for installation. This involves ensuring that the space is level and free of any debris. Then, the shower base can be installed, and any necessary adjustments can be made to ensure a proper fit.

Plumbing and Electrical Work

Relocating or updating plumbing and electrical work is a crucial step in the tub to shower conversion process. Depending on the location of your new shower and the existing plumbing and electrical work, this step may involve rerouting pipes or updating wiring. It is important to consult with a professional plumber and electrician to ensure that all work is done safely and up to code. This step may also involve the installation of a new shower head, valves, and other fixtures.

Wall Surround and Finishing Touches

The final step in the tub to shower conversion process is the installation of the wall surround and finishing touches. The wall surround is an important component of your new shower, as it provides a waterproof barrier to protect your walls and prevent leaks. There are many options for wall surrounds, including tile, fiberglass, and acrylic. Consider the durability, maintenance, and cost of each option before making a decision. Once you have chosen a wall surround, it can be installed, and any necessary adjustments can be made to ensure a proper fit. Finally, finishing touches such as shower doors, fixtures, and lighting can be added to complete the new look of your bathroom. When choosing these finishing touches, consider both form and function. For example, choose fixtures that match the style of your bathroom and are easy to use, and choose lighting that provides adequate illumination for your new shower.

Factors of Cost of Tub to Shower Conversion

The cost of a tub to shower conversion project depends on several factors, including the size of the shower, the materials used, and any additional work required. The shower base is typically one of the most expensive components of this project, as it must be able to hold up to water pressure and weight. Other materials such as wall surrounds and fixtures may also contribute significantly to the cost. Depending on the scope of the project, additional costs may include plumbing and electrical work, as well as installation fees. Before beginning a tub to shower conversion project, it is important to consider all of these factors and budget accordingly.
