The truth is, many bathrooms simply don’t have enough space for both a shower and a bathtub. If you happen to have a small bathroom space and you’re looking to install a large, luxurious shower with all the bells and whistles, then tearing out the tub entirely and changing it to tub-to-shower might be your best bet. Generally, the space left behind after removing a full-sized tub is more than enough room to install a new shower. However, you’ll need to tile the area and create a “curb” or a shower pan to keep the water from running out of the shower.

Replacing a tub with a shower comes with a handful of crucial details to consider, though. First, you’ll need to consider how shower doors will function in your renovated space if you intend to have shower doors at all. A door that swings in and out on hinges can be more stylish but will require proper clearance in order to open without colliding with counters, toilets, or other appliances. Furthermore, you may want to install special shower features, such as heated floors or upgraded fixtures or glass doors. Installing a walk-in shower is also an option if your focus is on accessibility and ease of maintenance in the coming years.

To ensure that every detail is accounted for and that your new shower will work seamlessly alongside your existing bathroom, always work with a team of professionals when removing and replacing a bathtub of any shape or size. The pros here at Bathcrest have tackled tub replacements of all shapes and sizes hundreds of times over the years and can handle your tub to shower conversion in Utah with ease!

In some situations, completely removing a tub may not be practical or reliable. For families with young children, tubs are crucial aspects of bathtime routines. Furthermore, removing a tub entirely may also impact your home’s resale value. However, that doesn’t mean you need to completely give up on your dream of having a beautiful shower in your bathroom space. You can choose to compromise by reconfiguring your bathroom’s plumbing to make a beautiful shower/tub combination.
