How a Tub to Shower Bathroom Conversion Works

by Columbus Bath Design |January 16, 2014 |73 Comments | Bathroom Remodeling, Bathtub Conversions, Uncategorized | , ,

If you have a bathtub in your bathroom, then you have the space for a walk-in shower.

tub to shower conversionSo many of us use our bathtubs to shower. Converting that tub to a shower just makes sense. A tub to shower conversion is a cost effective way to remodel your bathroom and maximize your space. A standard sized bathtub (5 feet) takes up more space than people realize and provides a nice space to install an amazing shower.

Plumbing

Good news! Your plumbing will not have to be replaced. Bathtubs typically have right or left drains and a shower pan can be installed with a right or left drain as well. Once the shower pan is installed and leveled, they are sloped so they drain properly.

Acrylic Shower Walls

There are 22 different options when it comes to acrylic shower wall systems. They are installed from floor to ceiling and have lots of options for plumbing fixtures – hand held and shower head. The acrylic we use is easy to clean. We use a 4-layer high-molecular acrylic that is the most durable, chemical resistant acrylic available. It also has the added benefit of Microban, which is the same ingredient that Colgate puts into their toothpaste to kill gingivitis. So, not only is it safe to ingest, but it also kills bacteria on contact between cleanings.

With tub to shower conversions, we are able to take out an old bathtub and install a new walk-in shower with plumbing, walls, fixtures and accessories in just one day.

Stop dreaming about the pictures in magazines with amazing showers with multiple shower heads, body sprays, and benches…now you know that you have the space in your  own bathroom to create a shower like this too!

The “WOW” factor.  That’s what you want when it comes to remodeling your bathroom.  Why go for simply functional when you can go for functional and fabulous?  That’s what we offer at Columbus Bath Design of Columbus, OH – a beautiful bathroom that will not only meet your needs…it will make your remodeling dreams come true.  We accomplish this by discovering a look that is aesthetically pleasing to your eye, works with your space and accommodates your budget.

Creating a Wall of Wonder

Tired of swinging that shower curtain to the side and staring at that plain wall lining?  Do you feel like you’re stepping into a closet when you step into your shower?  Let us transform it for you!  There are a couple of different ways in which we can do this.  Let’s take a look at each:

Acrylic

  Acrylic wall systems offer customers a low-maintenance, cost-effective way of bringing luxury to the bathroom.  At Columbus Bath Design, we are the exclusive supplier of 4 and 5 layer acrylics making it the most durable, chemical resistant acrylic available. 

All of our acrylic wall systems, accessories, and silicone feature the anti-microbial protection of Microban.

  There are dozens of acrylic options available to design the look of your wall system including solid acrylics, or acrylics that have the appearance of tile, marble, travertine or granite.

  Our acrylic wall systems are installed floor to ceiling and cut on site to accommodate your space.

Onyx

A specialized wall system that adds an extra touch of elegance to your décor.

A true solid surface in which the color goes all the way through the material.

Over a dozen different color options are available in glass, matte or tile finish which can mimic the look of stone…without the added maintenance.

Like acrylic, Onyx is a non-porous material which reduces cracking, will not stain and allows for easy clean up.  Try something as simple as dish soap…it works!

Beautify your entire bathroom with Onyx by incorporating matching accessories including vanity tops, corner shelves, shower seats/benches, waste baskets and toilet seats.

Why Choose?

At Columbus Bath Design, you even have the option of doing a little mixing and matching to build your dream bathroom space.  You can choose to go with an acrylic wall system accented with Onyx accessories.  These amazing systems truly compliment each other and will fit any style.

As you can see, at Columbus Bath Design, you’ve got plenty of options.  Check out this link Free Design Estimate to schedule a free in-home estimate, or stop by our showroom and pick out your wonderful new wall system!
