Bathroom Remodel: Is a Tub to Shower Conversion Right for You?

Shower or bath? That’s the question. If you found your way here, you may be wondering, “Should I do a tub to shower conversion?”

While it’s great to take the time to relax in a nice bath, sometimes a shower is just more efficient with our hectic schedules. Many older homes were only built with bathtubs so you don’t have the option of taking a shower.

Here are some guidelines to help you think about whether a tub to shower conversion might be right for you.

Shower or Bath? What do you prefer?

Should I Do a Tub To Shower Conversion?

Is your bathroom tight on space?

A shower can take up less room than a bath, so if you’re struggling with a small area, it might help you open up more space for bathroom storage or additional counter surface. (Want to learn more about bathroom remodeling?)

Who’s using the bathroom tub?

Consider how often the bathtub is being used. If everyone in the house is taking showers and it’s not getting much use, a conversion can help reduce traffic in the other bathrooms.

What about both?

If space isn’t a factor maybe the solution lies right in the middle. By adding a shower to the tub, you keep your options open.
