3 Essentials to Ask Before a Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Written by Stephen Ryan | Feb 23, 2021 9:07:00 AM

Many homeowners are now switching from a bathtub to a walk-in shower–and it makes perfect sense. This upgrade can make your bath safer and more accessible for senior family members and those with limited mobility. If you want fast, convenient and accessible, you should consider a tub-to-shower conversion for your next bath remodel. Before going through with it, however, you might want to ask your contractor a few important things. South Shore Dream Bath, the premier shower and tub replacement company in the area, shares some of them here.

  1. Will a tub-to-shower conversion affect the home’s value? It might, but only if you’re planning to sell your home soon. While a walk-in shower is a great bathroom feature, it might isolate expectant couples and families with smaller children. You can easily mitigate this, however. If you have multiple bathrooms in your home, you can leave one of them with its tub intact. But if this is your forever home, then you can convert them as you please.
  2. Is a tub-to-shower conversion open for customization? Yes, it definitely is. When you turn your bathtub into a shower area, you’ll have the opportunity to try out a new design that further improves the look of your bath space. Not only that, it’s an excellent upgrade for those entering their golden years, or who have family members that are already there. When you turn to South Shore Dream Bath for changing a tub to a shower, for instance, you’ll have the option to equip the remodeled space with comfortable seating, built-in shelves, grab bars, handheld showers, a low-step threshold, and non-slip flooring.
  3. What about the cost of a tub-to-shower conversion? Compared to other bath remodeling projects, a tub-to-shower conversion is faster to complete and more reasonably priced. What’s more, the advantages this upgrade can offer are numerous. You can enjoy a sleeker, new look for your bath space while allowing for a safer and more comfortable bathing experience.
