Plumbing, Waterproofing, and Finish Details

A tub-to-shower conversion is not just removing a tub. The drain, plumbing connections, wall preparation, waterproofing, shower base, tile layout, glass measurements, and final sealing all need to be handled correctly.

Will removing the tub hurt my resale value?

If the home has another bathtub, converting a rarely used tub to a walk-in shower is generally seen as an upgrade. We discuss this if the tub is the only one in the home.

Does the drain have to move?

Often yes. Tub drains and shower drains sit in different positions, so the conversion usually includes drain and plumbing adjustments.

Can the shower be made more accessible?

Yes. Low-threshold entry, grab bars, a built-in bench, and a handheld shower can all be included in the conversion.

What size shower fits in a standard tub space?

A standard alcove tub footprint usually converts into a comfortable shower without moving walls. We confirm dimensions on site.

Tile pan or prefabricated base?

A prefabricated base installs faster and costs less. A tile pan offers full control of size, shape, and drain placement. Both need correct waterproofing.

How long does a conversion take?

Less time than a full bathroom remodel, though demolition, plumbing changes, waterproofing, tile, and glass measurement all factor into the schedule.
