6 Bathtub to Shower Conversions That Add Style & Space

Walk-in showers in bathrooms are gaining immense popularity owing to their modern and attractive look. They offer a large shower area that is appealing and enhances usability. However, old-style bathrooms did not have any shower space and had classic bathtubs installed in them. Therefore, many people remodeled their bathrooms and resorted to a bathtub for shower conversion. One’s lifestyle significantly influences this conversion. 

Below are the top six bathtub-to-shower conversions that add style and space!

  1. If space is not an issue, you can keep your tub and install a shower, transforming the bathroom into a spa. It will create a bathroom that is classic as well as modern and the best of both worlds. A bathroom with a walk-in shower and a beautiful soaker tub is relaxing and inviting. Even if you plan to sell your house in the future, it will increase your home’s value and attract several potential buyers. 

  2. You can choose bath fitters if your bathroom already has a tub and shower installed. It is an excellent way to quickly upgrade your bathtub and shower aesthetics while being cost-effective.

  3. Many people believe that a shower is more practical than a tub. If you occasionally use your bathtub, consider a walk-in shower with a seat, a grab bar, and a handheld showerhead instead. It is more accessible, especially for seniors. 

  4. You may want to switch from a shower and tub combination to a shower only, especially when space is no less than a dream and installing a shower with double shower heads and other upgrades is far more luxurious. Instead, you can build a walk-in shower with a seat and grab bars, making it useful and maintaining that sense of luxury. 

  5. A shower can make your bathroom look bigger and more spacious. On the other hand, a bathtub in a small bathroom can make it seem huge and a forced fixture. Instead, remove it and install a shower with glass doors to make the space feel larger. 

  6. Switching to a shower can add personality and style to your room. If your bathroom has a regular tub and shower combo, you can add a pinch of your style to the bathroom by installing a new shower and beautiful tiles with some elegant personal touches.
