Replacing a Tub with a Walk-in Shower

Some homeowners like to update their bathrooms and replace a tub they no longer use with a spa shower that they will appreciate.  They may think about selling their home and want to add to the home’s value or a spa shower may simply appeal to them.

If your bathroom remodeling project includes a spa shower, keep in mind a few things.  First, you will want to use a glass panel instead of a solid wall if you have a small to medium size bathroom.  This will allow the room to look bigger even with the addition of a shower.

It is also recommended that you skip the shower door and leave one end open to also make the room seem bigger unless you plan to install a steam generator.  Using the same tiles in the shower that are on the floor of the rest of the bathroom will extend the room into the shower.

The finishing touches are important, too with high-end fixtures and a rain showerhead adding a unique touch to the new shower.

If you decide to renovate your bath area, you do not need to call a general contractor to do the work.  You can hire your local plumber to remove your old tub and install the new shower.  They can even advise you on the best designs and ensure you get the right size for your room.  Whether you are adding a touch of luxury to your space or getting your home ready to sell, a spa shower can be the perfect addition to your bathroom.
