Can a tub-to-shower conversion work with various kinds of tubs? What about installing a shower where the bathtub is?
Growing up, your parents might have told you “anything is possible.” However as you got older, you realized that this does not always apply to home improvement projects. But there’s good news!

There are a few parameters to think about if you’re considering a bathroom conversion.
Plumbing Possibilities
The best part of a shower-to-tub or a tub-to-shower conversion is that our master plumbers typically do not move your plumbing. This can be one of the biggest headaches of any bathroom remodel.

Functionality & Bathroom Space
A tub-to-shower conversion typically gets installed within the footprint of your existing bathtub. Additionally, f you remove the tub, there is plentiful footprint for a luxurious shower . If you have a free-standing tub or a window, don’t rule out a tub to shower conversion. We can usually plan around these kinds of challenges.
On the other hand, converting a shower to a tub may be a bit more complex, depending upon the current dimensions of your shower. Because most building codes specify that the floor of a shower stall should at least be 30 inches square, you may end up short on space for the new tub.
But don’t let this worry you! Our design consultants will help you plan a conversion that meets your specific desires while maximizing the available space in your bathroom. Don’t fret if later on you change your mind about the conversion, it is incredibly easy to reverse.
