Common Reasons Homeowners Convert Tubs to Showers
- Mobility concerns – Stepping over high tub walls becomes difficult or unsafe
- Limited bathroom space – Showers take up less room and open up small bathrooms
- Aging tub surfaces – Cracked, stained, or outdated tubs that are hard to clean
- Low resale value – Outdated bathrooms hurt home marketability
- Water waste – Showers use significantly less water than filling a bathtub
- Maintenance hassles – Old tub surrounds with mold, peeling caulk, or damaged grout
- Style preferences – Modern walk-in showers offer better aesthetics and functionality
- Accessibility needs – ADA-compliant showers with grab bars and seating options
Tips for Planning Your Tub to Shower Conversion
- Measure your space – Standard tubs are 60″ long; showers can be customized to fit
- Consider accessibility – Low-threshold or zero-entry designs help aging in place
- Choose slip-resistant flooring – Textured bases reduce fall risk better than smooth surfaces
- Plan for storage – Built-in niches and corner shelves keep products organized
- Select appropriate drainage – Linear drains handle water flow better than center drains
- Think about lighting – LED fixtures improve visibility and add a spa-like feel
- Decide on door vs. curtain – Frameless glass doors look modern but cost more
- Factor in ventilation – Proper exhaust fans prevent mold and moisture damage
- Match existing plumbing – Using current drain locations saves on demolition costs

Case Study: Capitol Hill Victorian Conversion
A homeowner near Volunteer Park needed their 1920s-era cast iron tub replaced with an accessible walk-in shower. We installed a custom tile shower with a zero-entry threshold, built-in corner seat, and handheld sprayer—all while preserving the bathroom’s vintage character. The conversion took 4 days and eliminated the safety concern that had prevented the homeowner from aging in place comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most conversions take 2-5 days depending on the complexity. A basic acrylic system can often be completed in 2 days, while custom tile work with glass enclosures may take 4-5 days. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your consultation and work efficiently to minimize disruption. Your bathroom will be out of commission during this time, so plan accordingly.
Permits are typically required when moving plumbing lines or making structural changes. Simple replacements in the same footprint may not need permits, but we recommend checking with Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections. We can handle the permit process for you and ensure all work meets local building codes and safety standards.
We’ll do our best to match or complement your existing finishes. Bring photos of your current bathroom to the consultation, or we can come see it in person. While exact matches aren’t always possible for discontinued products, we have access to thousands of tile styles, colors, and fixtures. Many homeowners use a conversion as an opportunity to update their entire bathroom aesthetic.
Acrylic systems are less expensive, faster to install, and easy to clean with fewer grout lines. They come in limited colors and styles but are durable and low-maintenance. Tile conversions cost more and take longer but offer unlimited design options, better resale value, and a more custom, high-end appearance. Both can last 20+ years with proper care.
While full conversions can’t be completed same-day, we’re available 24/7 for urgent situations like major leaks or tub damage that’s making your bathroom unusable. We can provide temporary solutions and schedule your conversion to start within days. For planned projects, we typically book 1-3 weeks out depending on the season and materials selected.
