5 Things to Consider Before a Tub to Shower Remodel
It's time to turn that unloved bathtub into a stunning shower remodel.
Perhaps you long for zen-like simple minimalism in your bathroom. Or maybe you're enchanted by the thought of a refreshingly rejuvenating rainforest each morning.
Either way, a meticulously designed new shower will give you a bathroom worthy of the front pages of the top interior design magazines.
But before you delve further into design inspiration or bathroom gadgets, get your remodel adequately planned. Here are five essential considerations for your upcoming tub to shower remodel.
1. Start Measuring
Tiny bathrooms are not a problem, providing you spend a bit of time getting the layout right. It's all about proportion; a small space will look better with a more minimal shower design.
With that in mind, before you choose a new shower for your bathroom renovation, determine how much space you have.
Start with measuring the space around your existing tub. Take note of any shelving, wall recess, or other obstructions that you need to workaround.
You might even find it helpful to measure your entire bathroom (including all your other fittings) and plot this to scale on paper (or electronically).
2. Set a Budget for Your Tub to Shower Remodel
You might think simple bathroom remodeling is achievable at a minimal cost. But when you start browsing state-of-the-art shower installations, costs can quickly spiral!
As with any renovation, establish your budget early on (plus a little extra for contingencies).
It will stop you from running out of money halfway through a project, forcing you to make compromises that spoil the end-look of your new bathroom.
3. Think About Tiling
Don't forget about the need for tiling. You will also need to remove the existing tiling when removing a bathtub, as it won't extend to the floor. Factor in the time and cost to get this done.
You might also want to design your tiled area with some storage.
You probably use the edge of your bathtub for toiletries, and when that goes, you need to move those products somewhere. So decide what shelving you want and what size before finalizing your tile design.
4. What Screen Do You Want?
There are several screening options open to you. Still, all choices will impact your remodel, so you'll need to make this decision in advance.
Do you want a budget-friendly shower curtain? Or would you prefer an acrylic screen? Do you want a sliding door or do you like an open plan wetroom design?
Think about the space you have, your preferences, and anyone else who'll be using the shower.
5. Get Professional Support
Renovations don't always go to plan, even with a significant budget and plenty of preparation.
That's why many homeowners find it wise to hire professionals with the experience to get the renovation done quickly and smoothly.
If you lack experience in renovations, a professional can help you achieve the high-end finish you are probably after. Ensure you include that in your budget from the start.
