Remove a Bathtub and Install a Shower
Removing a bathtub and installing a shower is usually the practical side of a tub-to-shower conversion. Homeowners often consider this when the tub is underused, hard to step over, or no longer a good fit for daily bathing.
What changes when the tub comes out
The project should address the new shower base, wall system, entry height, storage, fixture placement, and whether the new shower should be walk-in, low-threshold, or accessibility-focused.
Questions to ask before removing a tub
Ask whether tub function still matters in the home, how the shower will be used, what access needs exist, and what scope is included in the estimate.
