Hall bath tub-to-shower conversion
A 5-by-8 hall bath that nobody used the tub in. We took it to the studs and rebuilt it around a walk-in shower, a floating vanity and the storage the room never had.
What the homeowners wanted
The homeowners wanted to stop climbing over a tub, get a real exhaust fan, and make a small bathroom feel bigger without moving walls.
What we did
- Demo to the studs, old cast-iron tub out, subfloor checked and patched
- New shower valve, shutoffs and drain relocated for a 60-inch curbed shower
- Waterproofed shower with 12-by-24 porcelain tile, a recessed niche and a linear drain
- Floating 36-inch vanity, undermount sink, matte-black fixtures and a backlit mirror
- Quiet exhaust fan vented through the roof, recessed lights on a dimmer
- New comfort-height toilet, baseboard, door casing and two coats of bathroom-grade paint
Materials: Owner supplied the tile and the mirror; Escala supplied plumbing, vanity, fan, lighting and all rough materials.
The result
The room went from a tub nobody used to a bright shower with a bench and a niche, and the fan finally pulls the steam out. Glass went in ten days after tile, and the bath was back in service in three weeks.
