Pro Tips For Bath To Shower Conversions In San Diego

If you reside in San Diego, your apartment was likely constructed many years ago, when showers weren’t commonplace and bathtubs were the standard. Most city people lack the free time to relax daily in a tub. As a result, most individuals are thinking about completely getting rid of their bathtubs to make their bathrooms more functional and spacious. Some of our team’s most helpful advice for converting a bathtub to a shower has been included in this list.

Beginning A Bathtub To Shower Conversion

Pro Tips For Bath To Shower Conversions In San Diego

Converting a bath to a shower includes removing the tub, installing tile and pipe, new hardware, and creating a full shower. 

Hiring a qualified contractor and design team will help you minimize stress and adhere to local building codes

Consider Shower Door Options

Your new shower door’s functionality should be one of your first considerations. Make sure the door can open all the way without slamming into your wall cabinets, toilet, or vanity. You don’t have to put in a shower door. Install a shower enclosure, which is available in a variety of designs, or a partial wall. This method costs a little bit more than a typical shower curtain rod, but it will ultimately result in improved water retention.  

Practical Floor Design Decisions

One of two methods can be used to complete the flooring in your newly renovated shower. Using a shower pan with a curb is the easiest and most practical approach to keep the water inside the space. Without a curb, installing a shower requires more ingenuity. A contractor will replace the flooring, and it will drain slightly inward and away from the shower opening.

Shower Conversion “Dont’s”

Many professionals advise avoiding constructing a shower around a window even if it can make for a more challenging restoration operation. Move the shower away from the window or completely enclose it if you want to convert a window above the tub. Although having a windowed shower is a nice idea, you risk gathering water droplets inside the walls, which can encourage mildew formation. 

It’s also essential to think about the future of your house and keep an eye on the big picture. Homes without bathtubs have a harder time selling if you intend to sell them at some point. Therefore, if you only have one bathroom, consider redesigning the shower/tub combination that is currently there.
