The Top Benefits of Tub-to-Shower Conversions

If your bathtub is better at bruising your shins than it is at providing you with a relaxing escape after a long day, why keep it? Many homeowners are choosing to convert their unused bathtubs into showers, transforming their bathrooms into functional spaces that truly work for their unique needs. Available from the bathroom remodeling specialists at Jacuzzi Bath Remodel of Arizona, tub-to-shower conversions are one of the best upgrades that you can make to your bathroom; and in this article, we’ll take a closer look at the reasons why.

Popular Reasons Why Homeowners Convert Bathtubs to Showers

So, what exactly is a tub-to-shower conversion? Simply put, a tub-to-shower conversion refers to the process of removing your tub—be it standalone or a traditional tub/shower combo—and replacing it with a contemporary, barrier-free shower system. By removing the tub from the space, you open up a world of opportunities. Here are some benefits of investing in a tub-to-shower conversion:

More Floor Space

A cramped bathroom can quickly become a messy bathroom, especially if it’s shared by multiple people. One of the best ways to create the illusion of a larger, more spacious bathroom is by renovating your existing shower with a walk-in model or removing the bathtub. Tub-to-shower conversions are a great way to accomplish the latter, as it gives you more in-shower room while simultaneously opening up the room by extending the visual floor space.

Bathroom Customizability

What greater way to completely transform the ambiance of your bathroom than with a brand-new shower system? Walk-in showers are contemporary masterpieces and have earned their stripes in many featured trends thanks to their unique ability to seamlessly melt into the background of any bathroom. Tub-to-shower conversions take it one step further by revamping the entirety of the “wet-area” in your bathroom. You’ll also have the unique ability to completely customize your new shower system, ensuring that it meets all of your aesthetic and functional needs. 

Improved Bathroom Safety

High tub ledges can be dangerous for small children and those with mobility restraints. To create a safer space, or if you are planning to age in place, opting for a tub-to-shower conversion can remove the dangers of those high tub walls—replacing them with a low-entry or walk-in shower system that is easier to access. This obstacle-free entry also opens the floor (literally) for bigger bathroom safety products, such as shower seats, grab bars, and foot pedestals. The peace of mind that comes from knowing you are supported in all aspects when showering will help you get the most from what’s supposed to be a relaxing experience. 

Greater Convenience & Lower Maintenance

Cleaning a bathtub is a sure way to break a sweat. If you’re not planning on relaxing in your bathtub after you’ve scrubbed it, what’s the point? For an easier-to-clean system, convert that unused tub into a shower. The walk-in showers that the experts at Jacuzzi Bath Remodel of Arizona install have the added benefit of being crafted from antimicrobial material that impedes mold and mildew growth.
