Reasons to Consider a Tub-to-Shower Conversion

October 6, 2022

Your needs change as you get older. In the bathroom, you may find showers are safer and more convenient than bathtubs. Getting in and out of a tub can become a challenge as you age. But if you’re still on the fence about whether you should convert your tub into a shower, here are a few of its benefits that might just convince you.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Personal Safety

Getting in and out of a bathtub becomes dangerous as you get older. If you’re suffering from joint pain and mobility issues, it would be difficult to lift your legs and move inside the tub. With a tub-to-shower conversion, you’ll have the option to stand or sit in a comfortable shower chair. For added safety in the shower, you can also add handrails and non-slip flooring.

Convenience

Tub-to-shower conversions usually incorporate the installation of easy-to-reach shower controls. You won’t need to bend or move too much when turning on the shower. You can ask your bathroom remodeling contractor to install the shower controls at a height you can comfortably reach, whether standing up or sitting down.

Maintenance

Having a tub-to-shower conversion brings plenty of long-term benefits for you. Showers are generally easier to maintain than tubs. They are also more practical since they use significantly less water. 

Space Efficiency

Tub-to-shower conversions can be done in one day, so you can enjoy a larger bathroom in no time. 

Independent Living

A shower instead of a bathtub lets you take a bath without requiring assistance from other people. You won’t need help to get in and out of the bathtub, allowing you to live as independently as possible and maintain your privacy.

Three great projects!

Ken L.
We had three projects just completed in our home. A shower replacement, a bathtub/shower replacement and an oversized bathtub converted to a large shower. Our installer was Matt Collins who did an outstanding job!! He was very skilled in the whole demolition and reconstruction process. We highly recommend Bath Planet and especially Matt Collins for a beautiful bathroom upgrade!!

Great Craftsmanship.

FANTASTIC WORK!!!

Robert M.
Joel David & Jackson did an Excellent professional job of installing New Acrylic Shower with bench & 3 Grab Bars. They lowered the entrance way by 4 inches and opened the doorway by 6 inches, making it much more “user friendly”. Both were very skilled and did an excellent job of high craftsmanship. Installed a new shower head and faucet to complete the job.
