The Benefits of Tub-to-Shower Conversions

Converting your tub into a shower offers numerous benefits that can transform your bathroom and enhance your daily routine. Some key advantages include:

  • Improved accessibility: A walk-in shower eliminates the need to step over a high tub wall, making it easier and safer to enter and exit.
  • Enhanced functionality: Showers are more practical for quick, efficient bathing, especially for individuals with busy lifestyles.
  • Increased space: Removing the tub opens up valuable floor space, making the bathroom feel larger and more open.
  • Modern aesthetics: Showers offer a sleek and contemporary look that can update the overall style of your bathroom.

The Tub-to-Shower Conversion Process

The tub-to-shower conversion process involves several steps to ensure a successful transformation. Here’s an overview:

1. Consultation and Design

Our team will discuss your vision and preferences for the new shower design. We’ll take into account your space, budget, and any specific requirements or preferences you may have.

2. Removal of the Tub

The existing tub will be carefully removed, along with any associated plumbing fixtures. Our team will take measures to minimize disruption and protect the surrounding areas.

3. Plumbing and Drainage Modifications

Plumbing and drainage systems will be modified to accommodate the new shower. This may involve rerouting pipes and adjusting the drainage slope to ensure proper functionality.

4. Installation of Shower Base and Enclosure

A shower base or pan will be installed, serving as the foundation for the new shower. This will be followed by the installation of the shower enclosure, which can include glass doors, walls, and any desired features.

5. Finishing Touches

Finally, our team will complete the project by adding the finishing touches, such as installing fixtures, showerheads, and accessories. We’ll ensure everything is properly sealed and functioning before presenting you with your brand-new shower.

Design Considerations

When planning your tub-to-shower conversion, there are several design considerations to keep in mind:

  • Shower size: Determine the optimal size for your new shower based on your available space and usage needs.
  • Showerheads and fixtures: Choose showerheads, faucets, and fixtures that suit your preferences and enhance the functionality of your shower.
  • Accessibility features: Consider incorporating grab bars, built-in seating, and non-slip flooring for added safety and accessibility.
  • Storage solutions: Plan for storage options within the shower, such as niches or built-in shelves, to keep bathing essentials easily accessible.

Attention to detail, great communication, and politeness were only few of the qualities Jerry and his team demonstrated while completing a bathroom remodel recently. Thanks Jerry, Alan, and Brendan for a job well done!

The professional installers, Auston & Shane, sent by Custom Bath and Shower did a great job replacing my old tile shower with a beautiful Onyx stone walk-in shower. They made sure the add-ons ( seat, shelf, grab bars and inset shampoo shelf ) were placed where I wanted them. Austin went the extra mile in searching the local stores to find my preferred color fixtures. I would highly recommend this company and these installers for bath/shower renovation.

Jerry Gerhardt was the contractor who did an amazing job on my shower remodel/renovation. Jerry was honest, had clear communication about the job, polite, and showed great skill in his craft. I definitely would recommend his work to friends and family.

Very professional and did a superb job! They did the job under 10 hours and this included a vanity top. Did an excellent job explaining everything. The faucets didn't shift like the job a previous plumber had completed. I would highly recommend Jerry and his team.
