BATHROOM REMODELING: Should You Replace Your Tub With a Walk-In Shower?

BATHROOM REMODELING: Should You Replace Your Tub With a Walk-In Shower?

April 24, 2016 Bath, Bathroom Remodel

Remodeling your home requires you to make some significant decisions that will influence the function and look of your home in a number of ways. Bathroom remodeling can be a challenge. You may wonder if replacing the bathtub with a walk-in shower is a smart idea. This is a particular concern when you have a smaller or oddly-shaped bathroom and the added space would be a true benefit to you. There are a number of factors to think about as you weigh the magnitude of this decision.

.

BATHROOM REMODELING

.

THE FUNCTIONAL NEED FOR A TUB

A bathtub serves a special functional need in the home that other features do not have. It enables you to shower and take a bath at your discretion, provided you have a shower-tub combination feature. This may be useful if you need to bathe a dog or children, and even if you simply want to relax after a long day of work. You may even have sore muscles from an intense workout. Without a tub in the space, would you have access to another tub in the house to take a bath if needed? Would it be an inconvenience to always be forced to shower rather than to bathe?

.

THE AMOUNT OF SPACE SAVED

bathroom remodeling replace-tub-walk-in-showerNext, consider the amount of space that will be saved; this will be dependent on the dimensions of your current tub and your planned new shower. In many cases, you may save as much as half the size of the bathtub or more. However, if you plan to put in a large walk-in shower, you may not save any room at all.  You may be able to conform the shape of the shower to accommodate an irregularly shaped room, such as if you install a triangular-shaped shower in the corner of a room.

.

THE LOOK OF THE BATHROOM

Adding a new shower can transform the look of the bathroom and can often make the space seem more elegant, refined, and even modern. You will not have to contend with a shower curtain, and you can have the beautiful look of shower glass in the space. This allows the tile backsplash in the shower to be visible, adding to look of greater space.

.

Entirely eliminating a bathtub from a space should be done with care, and you might consider whether you have access to other tubs in the home before you make this final decision. These factors will help you to make a decision that you will love for your newly remodeled space.

  • We couldn’t be more pleased with the design expertise and service that Sherry and the team and Distinctive Cabinetry provided in our renovation project. We used them for 4 different cabinet solutions (kitchen, entertainment center, and two bathrooms) and everything turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Not only did Sherry help us with all of the design / planning, her customer service throughout the process to ensure they were working in lock step with our contractor was outstanding. 5 SHINY STARS for Sherry and Distinctive Cabinetry!!

  • Sherry at Distinctive Cabinetry showed immense patience with us while we struggled to figure out exactly what we wanted. The whole project turned out absolutely beautiful. They were easy to work with, let us take home samples and made numerous changes as we kept changing our minds on a few things. After delivery and install, they were quick to address any issues and changes we had. Highly recommend them! Oh and the total price ended up lower than expected.
