Can My Shower be Converted into a Bathtub?

Whether or not your shower can be converted into a tub will depend on several factors. For instance, the amount of space that is available in your bathroom and the types of systems that your bathroom currently has will both be important in determining if you can replace your shower with a tub. 

• Space Available in Your Bathroom: Bathrooms tend to be on the smaller side in the majority of standard homes, and most traditional showers are smaller than the average bathtub. Thus, the amount of available space in your bathroom is extremely important when it comes to determining if your bathroom can have a tub installed. A qualified contractor will be able to determine if the tub you want will fit within your bathroom.
  
  
• Type of Plumbing System in Your Bathroom: Another factor that will affect whether or not you can convert your shower into a tub will be the type of plumbing system your bathroom has. Many shower drains are not equipped to drain like a bathtub, which can cause issues within your plumbing. Luckily, your shower drain can be replaced with a drain that can handle your new tub, so this is an issue that can be remedied.
  
  
• Other Systems in Your Bathroom: Plumbing is not the only system that matters when it comes to whether or not your bathroom can handle a new tub; systems such as HVAC and electrical also play a role. A qualified contractor will be able to assess whether or not your HVAC and electrical systems are suitable for a tub, and if not, what to do about the issue.

Benefits of Converting a Shower into a Bathtub:

While a nice, long shower can be extremely relaxing and therapeutic, nothing beats a soak in the bathtub when it comes to reducing stress. In fact, there are numerous benefits that can accompany installing a bathtub in your bathroom.

• Bathtubs are Great Stress and Pain Relievers: Creating a calming environment to relax in is one of the benefits that baths are best known for. However, they are capable of doing so much more than that. Soaking in a tub can help to improve mental health, ease chronic pain, and soothe aches as well. Tubs can come equipped with other addons, such as special jets for hydrotherapy benefits. So, if you are looking for relief, then a bathtub is a fantastic way to do this.
  
  
• Increase in Safety and Accessibility: Tubs are typically more safe and accessible than showers too. This is because they allow you to sit or lie down, rather than stand on a slippery surface. They also tend to be easier to use for those with mobility issues or chronic pain. Tubs can also have additional safety and accessibility features installed, such as handrails, walk-in doors, non slip surfaces, seating and more. Finally, tubs are a much safer environment for small children than showers are. All in all, tubs can provide an increase in safety and accessibility that many homeowners are looking for
  
  
• Greater Home Value: Lastly, the price of a house can actually decrease if there is no tub in any of the bathrooms. Many homeowners want a tub for any young children, elderly, people with mobility issues, or simply for themselves to relax in. This means that having at least one bathtub in your house can boost the value of your home. 

How are Showers Converted into Bathtubs?

Converting a shower into a bathtub is not an easy process; however, qualified professionals can help to simplify this process through their expertise. Attempting this conversion on your own can cause improper installation, physical damage, or a waste of time and money. Therefore, hiring a professional service is the best way to ensure that your tub is correctly installed.

The actual conversion process will require deconstructing the shower by removing any walls, flooring, and shower fixtures. Then, your contractor will install any proper walls or flooring for your tub. Once this is done, the contractor will begin installing the tub. This will include the installation of any addons and fixtures, such as the installation of an affordable liner. After cleaning up, you will now be able to use your brand new tub.
