For many Smyrna homeowners, a tub-to-shower conversion is the best-value bathroom upgrade. It improves safety, updates the look of the room and doesn't require remodeling everything else.
How it works
- Remove the tub and surround
- Check and repair the subfloor and framing
- Move the drain and update the valve
- Install a new base or tiled floor with waterproofing
- Finish the walls with tile or panels
- Add glass, fixtures and safety features
Tile or panels
Tile offers more style choices. Solid surface panels are durable, easy to clean and quicker to install, a great value option.
Resale tip
Keep a tub in at least one bathroom if you can. Converting the second bathroom is usually a smart move.
Popular with shift workers and busy families
Smyrna has lots of households with early starts and long shifts. A walk-in shower is quicker and easier to use than climbing in and out of a tub-shower combo, and it's simpler to keep clean. It's one of the most practical upgrades for busy Smyrna homes. We'll plan the work to fit your schedule as much as possible and keep the disruption to your routine short.
What it costs to wait
If your current tub surround has cracked caulk, loose tiles or soft spots, water may already be getting behind it. Converting sooner can prevent more expensive subfloor repairs later.
