The cost of a bathtub to shower conversion
Converting from bathtub to shower is a big deal. The bathtub now occupies a large portion of your bathroom. Removing the bathtub will involve debris. All of that debris, of course, will need to be disposed of. This alone is a big job. And if you are going to replace your bathtub with a shower, there is also a chance that plumbing will have to be done. Therefore, this is definitely not a job you can easily do yourself. Enlisting the help of a professional is certainly wise in this case. After removing the bathtub, the new shower will have to be installed. Will you choose a walk-in shower or do you prefer a shower stall? This choice will affect the price the remodel will cost. The type of floor and wall tiles you choose and the surface area of the bathroom will also have a major impact on the price. Also be sure to consider any additional options you want installed in the bathroom. Are you making the switch from bathtub to shower because you have difficulty walking? Then shower brackets or a shower seat may be a welcome addition. When choosing floor tiles, also consider non-slip. A textured tile often provides more grip than a smooth tile.
