Tub to Shower Conversion Hartford

Taking the time for a long, luxurious bath is a treat in and of itself, despite the fact that there is nothing better for relieving stress. Because of their convenience and speed, showers are increasingly standard in newly built or modified homes. If you have an ordinary bath on your property but no plans to remodel it, you may choose to install a shower instead. If so, you'll have to make do with a fairly small bathroom fitted with a toilet, a sink, and a bathtub. Unfortunately, a shower would require either demolishing some walls or rearranging the tub in this tiny bathroom. Take a look at some alternatives our team can assist with to convert your bathroom to include a bath or shower or your dream.


Removing The Bath and Replacing With a Shower

Removing a bathtub and replacing it with a shower is one option for a bathroom makeover. This isn't a simple task, so it's best to leave this to our expert contractors at CT Bathroom Pros. We can recommend the available space and the best way to optimize it. We could probably fit a sizable shower in the space occupied by the tub, however, we will need to install a tile or solid-surface curb to prevent water from leaking into the rest of the bathroom. We think about the location of the shower door when remodeling a bathroom to include a shower instead of a tub. It's important to leave enough space for the shower door to open all the way, without banging into the sink or toilet. In order to combat the cold air that can enter your bathroom, we also asses installing a heated shower floor.


Incorporating a Shower and Tub into the Existing Plumbing

Converting a bath into a shower requires less work than installing a new tub. We can keep the existing tub and install the shower plumbing at the same time. The wall must be opened and our plumbing is always in compliance with local building standards. A tiled shower wall provides a sturdy barrier against water and is considered for use in your shower's waterproofing scheme. If your bathroom has a low window that could get wet while you soak, we recommend sealing it off, tile over it, or replacing it with glass blocks. Converting a bath into a shower necessitates the installation of a shower enclosure.


Bathtub Refinishing Solution

It's important to weigh the costs and benefits of replacing a worn-out tub versus having it refinished. We offer exceptional bathtub refinishing solutions for most bathtub re-glazing requirements. After a long and stressful day, nothing beats unwinding in a hot bath. Having a bath can be relaxing, but if your tub is old, stained, or otherwise in disrepair, the pleasure might be ruined. The appearance of your bathroom can be old and unappealing if the tub is chipped, scraped, rusted, or worn. It might be worth it to refinish the one you have instead of replacing it with a new tub. In most cases, refinishing a bathtub is less expensive than buying a new one, and it may be done in conjunction with other bathroom renovations to save you time and effort.


How Much It Usually Costs to Resurface a Bathtub

It's not always a breeze to swap out an old tub for a brand-new one. In most cases, the original tub cannot be transported whole to the bathroom. It's possible that we will have to take out and replace things like flooring, molding, and pipe fittings. Although the cost of a new tub is often more than expected, the cost of labor to remove the old one and install the new one can easily add up. Many people opt to have their current tub re-glazed or refinished instead, which can cost much less than a complete bathroom remodeling project. Our experienced technicians can likely repair and re-coat the surface of your bathtub to make it look as good as new, regardless of how badly it has been soiled or damaged, so get in contact with us today.
