Bathroom renovations can range from simple to complex. If you’ve been wanting to make a change to something more functional, converting your old bathtub into a shower may be the best decision you’ll ever make for your home.

There’s more to a tub conversion than meets the eye. You may think you’re simply giving your bathroom a little makeover that won’t have any real effect on your day-to-day life—but that’s not so! Here are some amazing benefits you can enjoy when you undergo a bathtub-to-shower bathroom transformation:

• Practicality: Though bathtubs have their benefits, they can pose problems for some members of your household. Maybe you live with young children or elderly people who have difficulty getting in and out of the tub. A shower is a safer, easier option that may help prevent slips and falls. Not to mention, it can be designed with a safety bar for additional protection.
• More Useful: It can be difficult to take a comfortable shower in a bathtub. By using your bathroom renovation project to achieve a luxurious shower, you can almost guarantee that you and your family members will get better use out of the space.
• Additional Space: Bathtubs tend to take up quite a bit of room and can especially overwhelm smaller bathing areas. By installing a shower instead, you can open up some floor space and enlarge the appearance of your bathroom. You’ll also have newfound space for a storage cabinet. If you downsize to a corner shower, you may even have enough room for a new sink or countertop.

Why worry about safety and cramped space when a contractor can expertly remove your tub and install a modern shower? If your bathroom is in desperate need of a makeover, a bathroom renovation could be a great move for both aesthetic and functional reasons.
