What to Expect During a Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Have you checked your bathtub lately? When it’s already old, chipped and leaking, it might be time to get rid of it. But before shopping for a new tub, why not convert that space into something better? Total Bath Systems, one of the top shower installation companies in the area, offers high-quality tub-to-shower conversion to make your bathroom more comfortable and functional. You’ll want to understand more about this project, so here are some of the things to expect:

1. Converting your tub into a shower can make your bathroom look bigger. Aside from detracting from the overall look of the bathroom, a tub usually takes a considerable amount of space. When the tub is out of the way, there’s better flow inside the room. This in turn creates a seamless look that makes the bath airier and more spacious.
2. You’ll need to pick what material to use for your new shower. Most homeowners would pick granite or quartz for the walls, or mosaic tile for the floors. But have you considered using a composite? One of the area’s premier shower replacement contractors, Total Bath Systems, offers high-quality shower systems for our tub-to conversion service. They use a blend of genuine crushed marble and fiber strands for flooring and walls that are proven durable and long-lasting. This allows for shower surfaces that won’t stain, chip or crack over time.
3. The project may take some time. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, the tub-to-shower conversion process may take a week. 
4. Tub-to-shower conversion takes specific needs into account. For example, if you plan to age-in-place, or if you have family members with limited mobility, a low-profile step-in shower can be extremely useful. Its accessibility makes them a safer and more convenient option compared to a traditional bathtub. 

As one of the top bathroom conversion companies in the area, Total Bath Systems ensures a smooth process from start to finish.
