When it comes time to remodel your bathroom, one of the most important decisions you have to make is: bathtub or shower? The good news is if you have a bathtub but want a shower, you can easily make that transition with the right bathroom conversion experts on your side.

With over 40 years of experience under our belt, Sho-Pro of Indiana has seen our fair share of bathtub-to-shower conversions. That’s why we wanted to share some advantages of turning your tub into a shower. 

There are plenty of reasons to undergo a tub-to-shower conversion, but the main benefits can be broken down into these five categories: 

  1. Convenience
  2. Aesthetic
  3. Space
  4. Savings
  5. Safety

Let’s dive in!

1. Make Your Daily Routine More Convenient

Taking a bath is very relaxing, but it is a time-consuming process to get it ready. On a day-to-day basis, taking a shower is a much faster and more convenient alternative, which most people prefer.

2. Alter Your Bathroom’s Aesthetic

Switching from a bathtub to a shower can completely change the appearance of your bathroom without remodeling the entire space. Typically, a shower will make your bathroom appear more modern, but you can also choose different designs that work within your preferred aesthetic. 

3. Increase Space in Your Bathroom and Open Up the Space, Too

On average, you can install showers in smaller spaces than a full bathtub, which means you can free up some extra square footage in your bathroom with bathtub-to-shower conversion.

Plus, showers with clear doors will automatically make your bathroom look larger, so you can create the illusion of having more space even if your shower actually takes up more space than the original tub.

4. Save Money on Your Water Bill

It’s no secret that it takes a lot of water to fill a bathtub. When taking a shower, there’s no need to use that much water out of the gates, and you can better control how much water you are using throughout. That said, showering can save you hundreds annually on your water bill.

5. Improve the Safety of Your Bathroom

When you make the switch from tub to shower, you can choose an accessible barrier-free shower that will make bathing safe for anyone. These showers can take up just as much space as a standard shower while being built with amazing features such as:

  • Flat Entry Ways
  • Slip-Resistant Floors
  • Comfortable Bench Seating
  • ADA-Compliant Grab Bars
  • Optional Handheld Showerheads
  • Recessed Storage Spaces

…and more!
