									While you are not directly handling your Fullerton tub-to-shower conversion, you still need to prepare your home for the bathroom remodeling company handling this job. Why?
The more prepared you are now, the easier the entire process goes for your specialist, but also for you. After all, too many times, the stress from the tub-to-shower conversion is not the work being done – it’s a lack of preparation for this work that leaves you running around trying to get ready so the workers can get it done.
With that being said, we have gathered a few tips to help you better prepare your Orange County area home so work can commence and you can get to enjoying your tub-to-shower conversion ASAP!
While it is not mandatory that you clear out what you can from your bathroom, it can help a ton!
Removing things like toiletry items, extra towels lying around, clothes hampers, or whatever else you have in your bathroom can give your installers more room to work.
Plus, your installers won’t be taking the time to move these items to a new location, so they can get clear access to your tub to remove and install the shower.
Yes, there will be some noise when your tub-to-shower conversion is happening. This is something that you need to prepare for.
But how do you prepare for the noise level? It really depends on who calls your house home.
For example, pets may be a bit unsettled with all the noise happening. You could arrange for your pet to go to a friend’s or family member's house while the work takes place.
Or you can opt to keep your pet confined to one room with their toys and whatnot to ensure they are less nervous and not in the way of the installers.
Young children may be scared of the noise, or they may be inquisitive and try to get involved. In these cases, arranging for childcare out of the home is the best solution for everyone.
Also, think about yourself. Do you normally take business calls or video conferences during the day? If so, the day or two that your tub-to-shower conversion is happening may be time to state that you’re out of the office.

Are there tons of obstacles in the way to get to your bathroom? If so, you may want to consider moving some of these items so the installers have a clear path to bring in their tools, take out your old tub, and bring in the new shower.
This may not always be possible. For example, maybe your bathroom is located at the top of a very narrow set of stairs that have a twist in them. In these cases, it is not your job to clear a path.
Getting your new items into your bathroom for the tub-to-shower conversion will be the responsibility of the installer. Here at Shugarman’s Bath, we are equipped to get your items to your bathroom no matter what obstacle may be in our way: a narrow staircase or any other issue.
Before your installers arrive, we recommend that you take the time to remove any toys that may be in the path to walk to the bathroom, houseplants, or other items that can easily be moved. Do not strain yourself to get this done – don’t try to move an antique wall clock out of the way, just handle the small things.
Ultimately, there is very little you need to do to prepare your Fullerton home for a tub-to-shower conversion. You are not physically performing this conversion, so your only job is to ensure installers can get to your bathroom and get the job done.
