- Tile + niche planning
- Free written estimate
A tub-to-shower conversion is not just a cosmetic swap. The drain, framing, waterproofing, slope, curb or entry, wall layout and glass opening all need to work together before the first tile is set.
Overview
What changes when a tub becomes a walk-in shower
The existing tub and surround are removed first so the framing, plumbing locations and substrate can be inspected. That is the point where hidden water damage, uneven walls or floor issues can be identified before new finishes cover them.
The new shower is then built around drainage and shower waterproofing. The floor must move water toward the drain, wall penetrations and corners need a continuous waterproof system, and the tile layout should be planned around the niche, valve, edges and future glass.
Your written estimate should describe the construction scope Braga Remodeling is pricing so you can distinguish demolition, preparation, waterproofing, tile and finish work instead of comparing only a single lump-sum number. If the conversion is part of a larger bathroom remodeling project, it all goes into the same written scope.
