Tub-to-shower conversion that swaps an old tub for a tiled shower or a shower with a smaller tub, with new walls, waterproofing and tile in the same footprint.
A standard five-foot tub alcove is a good size for a roomy shower. Replacing the tub with a tiled shower can happen in the same footprint, which keeps the project simpler and the bathroom layout familiar. Homeowners in Nashville choose it for safer entry, easier cleaning and a fresher look. The work behind the wall matters more than the tile, so we focus first on framing, drain placement and a properly waterproofed pan.
We remove the tub and the surrounding wall finishes, check the framing and floor, and then build a new pan and walls. Because the drain is usually at one end of the alcove, we plan the slope to suit. A low curb or a curbless design is possible depending on the floor structure. We help you choose wall tile, a niche and a floor tile that works on the slope, and we coordinate with a glass company for a door or panel. You get a written scope and a schedule before demolition begins. Before deciding, check whether another bathroom in the house has a tub. Many buyers like to see at least one tub in a home, and keeping one elsewhere makes this conversion an easy decision. If this is the only tub, we are happy to talk through the tradeoffs.
