A bathroom remodel is the chance to make your existing space work for you, improve functionality and it also gives you a chance to introduce new solutions that are better suited for you and your family. If you have decided to renovate your bathroom there certainly are things that you can consider before you replace the tub with a shower.

You must first consider who is using this bathroom? If anyone in the household has mobility issues, replacing the tub with a shower and adding functional safety accessories like grab bars and shower seats are the best solution for easing their daily life. Conversely, bathtubs can be preferred by some parents of young children as managing bathtime for kids in a shower might be a challenge.<br><br>One reason you may consider to convert your tub to a walk-in shower is that it is both a practical and stylish way to update your bathroom. Glass doors and seamless acrylic walls can add a fresh look and make a space that has felt drab, seem brand-new again.<br><br>Another thing to consider is a tub to shower conversion cost.
