This homeowner is Corona, California wanted to turn their bathtub and shower combo into a shower only. The homeowner was tired of having to reseal their grout every year to prevent mold and mildew from getting into their walls. On top of this, the homeowner realized that this downstairs tub and shower combo was only being used as a shower so they decided to get rid of the tub.

This type of job is often referred to as a tub to shower replacement. The benefits of this remodel are many, including more space, freedom to design the shower you want, easier access, non-porous walls to prevent mold and mildew, and increased safety features. The first step in a tub to shower replacement is to remove the old tub and wall surrounds. This exposes all of the tub and shower plumbing and allows us to check for any issues while it is exposed. For example, we found that this homeowner’s drain was rusted and corroded causing it to leak into the surrounding walls. We used this opportunity to replace their old drain with a new one to ensure them with a leak free shower. Once the plumbing is all taken care of, the next step is to install the new shower pan and wall surrounds. There are many different options that you can choose from when designing your tub or shower. This homeowner opted for a simple and elegant glossy granite finish on their grout free acrylic shower surround. This homeowner got everything that they wanted when the job was done; a beautiful yet simple groutless shower that does not need to be resurfaced to prevent mold and mildew from building up.
