Project Spotlight: Tub to Shower Conversion in Birmingham, AL

June 26, 2023

Our West Shore Home Birmingham installation team recently completed a bath remodeling project for a customer who needed a tub to shower conversion due to mobility limitations.

Dysfunctional Bathtub

The customer had undergone multiple back surgeries, which made it difficult for him to climb over the tub.

The installation process took approximately eight hours. Since the house was relatively new construction on a slab, the installers had to wait for the rough plumb inspection to be completed before they could set the pan.

The water lines were poured in the slab within the wet space, so the installers had to build up a small platform for the new subfloor. This allowed the team to circumvent the water lines and move them to the wall and the new valve.

Walk-In Shower Conversion

In addition to the tub to shower conversion, the customer also opted for clear doors, adding a touch of elegance to the space. We understand the importance of meeting our customers’ needs, especially when it comes to accessibility and comfort.

To address the homeowner’s needs, our Alabama installers replaced the fiberglass unit with a copper ridge and an old world bronze fixture package, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Our team is dedicated to providing professional, personable service to ensure that every bath remodeling project is tailored to the unique requirements of our clients.
