Whether or not you’re undecided about ditching the traditional bathtub, allow us to help you decide. Here are the benefits of a bathtub transformer for a walk-in shower. Taking a shower at home is growing in popularity. We are sure that you will not miss your traditional bathtub.

Reasons to complete the process of converting the bathroom into a shower:

  • Large showers are safer than traditional bathtubs.
  • No-wait showers are best for people with limited mobility and the elderly who want to age in place.
  • Modern shower rooms are easy to keep clean.
  • Large or small showers can be customized to your liking.
  • Your bathroom will look cleaner and more modern when you install a walk-in shower.

5 Benefits of a Bathtub Conversions in the Bathroom

Let’s make sure we’re on the same page before we describe the benefits of a walk-in shower. This article will list the benefits of removing your traditional bathtub and replacing it with a fresh, clean shower in the same space. The shower surround can be the same size as the bathtub it replaces – or smaller.

Now, here are the benefits of completing this project.

Foot showers are safer than traditional tubs.

The traditional bathtub is for bathing or relaxing. However, how many of you sit and take a bath in the bathtub as part of your daily routine?

Instead, many of you step over the threshold of the bathtub to take a shower. Unfortunately, the slippery, curved floor of the tub is dangerous to stand on. These factors (and a wet floor from a falling shower curtain or a swinging open shower door) create dangerous conditions.

To reduce the risk of falls, install a walk-in shower with a non-slip surface.

Showers are easy to access without waiting for the elderly and people with reduced mobility.

Elderly people and people with mobility issues need a safe place to take a shower. One of the advantages of a walk-in shower is that it has a low threshold. So, if you’re concerned about the safety of seniors showering in your home, reduce the risk of slips and falls by replacing the bathtub/shower combo with a walk-in shower—perhaps with a built-in seat and handheld showerhead.

(On a side note, a bathtub is another obvious choice for loved ones with mobility issues who would rather soak in a bathtub than a shower. Larger bathtubs have safety features, including grab bars and temperature gauges, to prevent burns.)

It will be easy to keep your new shower clean.

Modern walk-in showers are usually easier to maintain than older bathtubs. Today’s shower surrounds and doors are made with antimicrobial surfaces that are easier to keep clean than older tubs. You’ll love the feel of your new clean space when you complete your bathroom remodel.

A walk-in shower is an ideal solution for small bathrooms.

Have you always felt like your bathroom is cluttered with a full size bathtub? One other benefit of a walk-in shower is that you will have more space once you get rid of the bulky bathtub. It should be noted that you can purchase your shower surround in several different sizes.

Installing a walk-in shower will refresh your space.

How do you feel when you walk into your current master bathroom? Does it feel like a relaxing getaway, or do you cringe at the sight of lousy old fixtures? If it’s time for a bathroom remodel anyway, why not take the opportunity to create a more modern and safe space?
