Because we get so many questions about how to prepare for tub-to-shower conversions, we’ve made a list of things you can do while you wait for installation day.

1. Choose The Right Bathroom Remodeling Company

If you haven’t already scheduled your tub-to-shower conversion, you’ll want to find a good company to do the job.

You want a company that ticks all the boxes, so look for remodelers that:

• Know how to handle underlying damageSpecialize in the bathroom’s wet area
• Are clear and communicative
• Use high-quality materialsAlways put YOU first

In any area of your home, you want to make sure the right person is doing the right job. That’s why we deal exclusively in baths and showers.

2. Decide How Your Tub-To-Shower-Conversion
Will Look

You may already be past this step, but it’s good to have a clear vision for your tub-to-shower conversion. Daydreaming about your new walk-in shower isn’t just fun, it also gives your bath remodeler a good base to work with.

Once you’ve picked out the fixtures and materials for your new shower, you’ll want to take note of what you picked out. You can take photos or maybe even ask for samples of the material to take home.

This will give you a great color reference for anything else you’d like to change in your bathroom.

3. Shopping For Your Bathroom Remodel

Homeowners love pairing a tub-to-shower conversion with a fresh coat of paint and some new decorations. It’s a fast and cost-effective way to totally transform your bathroom.

We don’t recommend repainting before a tub-to-shower conversion, but you can buy your paint in advance. Bringing paint chips with you when you pick out your shower material or taking photos of your new shower walls to the hardware store can help you coordinate colors.

Lots of homeowners also love replacing little details like drawer handles, towel bars, and robe hooks. Matching these to the color of your new shower fixtures can bring some nice coordination to the bathroom.

Of course, a new walk-in shower will make a bathroom look great without shopping or extra work. But if you’re sick of your bathroom’s current colors, this is a great time to pick out some new towels.

4. Prepping For Bathtub-To-Shower Conversion

Before your tub-to-shower conversion, you’ll want to move a few things out of the bathroom. Things that aren’t strictly necessary, like decorative items and wall hangings, can be put away in a safe place to protect them from dust associated with your bath remodel.

Here at Shugarman’s, we do a lot to protect your home from dust and clean up after ourselves well. That doesn’t mean you should leave your bathroom as-is, though.

Items that are soft or heavily textured tend to pick up dust even when the area is kept particularly clean. Any items in the bathroom that cannot be cleaned should be moved in advance.

Just before we arrive, it’s a good idea to move things like towels and soap bottles out of the bathroom. These things may have to be moved during the demolition process and are easy to knock over when we put out dust covers.

5. Relax While We Convert Your Tub To A Shower

When your Shugarman’s remodeling team shows up in the Orange County area, it’s time to sit back and relax. Pour yourself a glass of water before we temporarily turn off your plumbing, and smile, knowing your bathroom is in good hands.

Even if we run into underlying issues, we’ve got it under control. It’s all part of our low-stress process.
