Reasons for Tub to Shower Conversion
Many homeowners want to do a tub to shower as part of a bathroom remodel because having a tub no longer fits their needs. A shower can be more accessible than a tub, and a walk-in shower is easier for any grown family member to use. Many people feel more invigorated from a shower than a bath, and prefer a shower enclosure. Installing a shower to replace a bathtub also helps save on water.
Another reason to consider is the appearance of having more floor space. A shower with glass doors makes a room look more open than a tub. Some homeowners also want to have the different shower heads that are on the market now. Some homeowners are simply fed up with their tub and want new functionality and a new look.
Can installing a shower in place of a tub make it easier to sell your home? It depends on your market and what real estate agent you talk to, but many home buyers might prefer a walk-in shower versus a tub. Some appraisers may be able to get a higher valuation on your home if it has a shower instead of a tub only, but this is something you should discuss with your real estate agent.
