Tub-to-shower conversions that replace a bathtub with a roomy shower, in a new base, walls, valve and door, often completed in several days.
A tub that nobody uses takes up a lot of space, and stepping over a high wall is harder every year. Converting it to a shower is one of the most popular projects we do. Homeowners in Nashville like the new space, the easier cleaning and the safer entry.
We remove the tub and surround, check the floor and framing and set a new shower base or a tiled pan. We install new walls, a valve and a shower head and a glass door or curtain. Because a standard tub opening is about sixty inches, we often build a five-foot shower, and we can sometimes gain space with a niche or a bench. We handle the plumbing, waterproofing and finishes as one tidy project. Before we remove a tub, we confirm where the drain sits, how the floor is built and how the walls are framed. These details decide whether a prefabricated base will drop in or a custom pan is wiser. We also look at the shower valve, since a conversion is a good time to upgrade an old one.
We take out the tub and surround, then check the floor, walls and plumbing so repairs are done before new work.
A prefabricated base, a poured pan or a tile floor can be used, with walls in acrylic, solid surface or tile.
A new pressure-balanced or thermostatic valve and a head or rain set are installed with the right rough-in.
A framed or frameless door, or a curtain, finishes the opening, and we explain care for each.
