What Should You Know Before a Tub-to-Shower Conversion?
There are many ways that homeowners can transform their bathroom into a relaxing spa-like room, and a tub-to-shower conversion is one of the best options. When you feel like your older tub isn’t giving you what you are looking for, a tub-to-shower conversion can make all the difference.
Shugarman’s Bath helps homeowners dramatically improve their bathing experience with custom-designed showers that are accessible, beautiful, and one-of-a-kind. For anyone considering a tub-to-shower conversion service for their home in the San Diego or Orange County areas, it’s natural to have a few questions.
There is nothing more important than going into a wet area remodel with your eyes wide open. That’s why we want to help you feel as comfortable as possible by answering the top four most asked questions from our community.
1. What Is the Process for a Tub-to-Shower Conversion?
Our company is detail-oriented and committed to giving our homeowners the best, so our process is meticulous and deliberately designed to guarantee perfection.
The very first step that we take is your design consultation. During this phase, we get to know your wants, needs, and requirements for a tub-to-shower conversion project. We take this opportunity to answer any questions you have and help you design the shower of your dreams.
Once we’ve completed the consultation, we can order your new product. Our products are custom-manufactured to your home’s measurements and exact design. Then, once your product arrives, it’s installation day!
Then, there's the installation phase of your remodel. Our team will tear everything down to the studs to ensure there are no surprises when installing your new shower. If we find any underlying issues, they will be addressed immediately.
This process guarantees that your shower will last for decades and stand up to the test of time.
2. How Long Does a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Take?
We understand that construction in your home can be inconvenient and that every homeowner is excited to try out their new shower as soon as possible. We walk into every home with a plan.
All of the products at Shugarman’s Bath are custom-fitted to your exact specifications. This is done so that we can ensure a perfect fit and make your tub-to-shower conversion go smoothly.
Since our showers have already been measured for your space, we don’t have to worry about trying to reconfigure anything on installation day. Typically, our highly trained professionals can install your new shower in less than two days.
Of course, since our showers are customized for each specific home in the San Diego and Orange County areas, the time it takes to install them may depend on your unique needs. The time is typically 1-2 days, but it can vary depending on the scope of your project.
We will provide the exact timeline after completing a consultation.
3. What Materials Are Used in a Tub-to-Shower Conversion?
There are many reasons that homeowners decide to convert their tub into a shower, and an old and worn-down product is one of the most common. Homeowners want to know that their new showers will stand the test of time and the premium materials will not wear down over the years.
Our BP-Cor2 material is designed to last a lifetime. It is durable and easy to maintain. BP-Cor2 is thicker than your typical acrylic and designed to be incredibly easy to clean. You won’t have to worry about soap scum building on the walls or bacterial growth. Instead, rest assured that your shower will remain clean, strong, and reliable.
