Pros and Cons of Converting Your Tub to a Walk-in Shower

If you were to ask me what project we get asked to complete most often, it would be converting an alcove bathtub space to a walk-in shower. Alcove bathtubs have almost become a thing of the past. It’s not that houses don’t have them anymore. It’s just that people aren’t using them much these days.

Now soaker tubs and stand-alone tubs—that’s a different story. We’re still installing those with bathroom renovations—a lot! It’s interesting, though, to talk to our clients after we’ve completed their project. They will invite us back a few months later to complete a small job for them, and we’ll ask how they are enjoying their new bathroom. So often we hear, "I love my bathroom, but I never use my tub".

I think nowadays we lead such busy lifestyles that we just don’t have the time to soak in a tub. And once we are retired and a bit older, getting in and out of a tub is a little harder with sore backs, knees, and arthritis. Consequently, more and more of our clients are asking us to remove their tubs and install a walk-in shower. Still undecided about what to do?
