Can You Turn A Shower Into A Bath?

Bathtubs are a great place to relax and soak after a long day. However, people have begun to opt for the shower over the bathtub thanks to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use.

Pros: Baths provide more room than showers do, making them perfect for relaxation or giving you space to get ready with friends before going out on the town without feeling cramped.

They also offer an opportunity for you to take care of your skin while getting clean by using soaps and lotions that can help prevent dryness and other skin problems like eczema or psoriasis.

Cons: Baths can be costly because they require a lot of water, and can be dangerous if you forget to turn off the faucet.

They also require a large amount of space that many people do not have in their homes or bathrooms. If you decide on getting a bathtub for your home, keep these points in mind before moving forward with installation plans.

There are many options when deciding which type of tub will best suit your needs and style preferences.

Thinking about the number of people who will regularly use this tub is one way to narrow down all your choices. For example, if you have children and need something that can withstand more wear and tear (or even roughhousing), then perhaps an acrylic model would be better suited for you than a cast iron option.

On the other hand, if you're looking for something sleek and modern with little upkeep required, then maybe an acrylic would not be ideal either! A fiberglass model may fit into this picture.

Converting your shower into a bath is an inexpensive and relatively easy project that will give you the relaxing experience of soaking in water without having to leave your house. 

Steps:

1) Remove glass doors from shower

3) Add plumbing for faucet and tub spigot

4) Attach new wallboard over insulation with finish mudding

5) Install tile on floor and walls around tub area

Converting your shower into a bath is an easy way to create more space, but it does come with some drawbacks. For example, you will need to use the bathroom sink for washing up after bathing and there may be less room in the tub/shower area of your home.
