When remodelling, a bathtub to shower conversion not only increases home value, but has other benefits. It saves space, reduces water usage, requires less maintenance, and improves accessibility for those with mobility issues. Bath Team is the best team to complete your shower conversion in Toronto quickly and professionally.

Reliable Tub to Shower Conversion in Toronto

There is more than just pulling out your old clawfoot bathtub and dropping in a self-contained shower stall to complete a tub to shower conversion.

Almost inevitably, structural, plumbing, and electrical changes will occur in the room to accommodate the new shower. Bath Team is ready to help you with building permits in Toronto before following up with our process.

1

Removal of the old tub

Our professional team will carefully remove the tub and inspect drain solutions. Once removed, the structure will be assessed for signs of wear and/or dry rot.

2

Demolition

The structure and foundation of the new shower may need to be strengthened especially in cases of water damage. This may require replacing and/or rebuilding the framing.

3

Waterproofing membrane

We install a waterproofing membrane around the shower to prevent water from finding its way into the walls and floor. This is a sealed layer that aids in directing water to the drain.

4

Plumbing upgrade

Depending on the previous tub and the new shower, plumbing upgrades such as relocating the drains, connecting to a larger drain pipe, and connecting to the water supply will be necessary.

5

Installing insulated shower light

An insulated shower light is required to combat continual moisture and water splash back found in a shower. These lights are durable, safe, and water resistant.

6

Improving drainage

A shower usually generates more water than a bath. This necessitates having a larger drain to improve drainage. A larger drain can improve safety, prevent water damage, and meet building codes.

Bathtub Replacement with Shower Features

As with many different rooms in your home, there is a vast variety of options when it comes to deciding what shower type would be best for your new shower room.

  • Walk-in shower – A walk-in shower has no curb or riser to keep water in one area. A benefit to this style is its accessibility for those facing mobility challenges. However, the bathroom floor must be waterproof and slightly sloped to the drain.
  • Corner shower – This is a square glass enclosure with a door in one panel set in the corner of the room. Ideal for creating more space in your room, it is less accessible and may feel cramped to some people. 
  • Rainfall shower – This simulates rainfall from directly above. This provides the feeling of standing in the rain while washing, draining your worries away. 
  • Shower Walls – Shower walls can come in acrylic, ceramic, fibreglass, laminated panels, glass tiles and more. Check to see which can be installed with your new shower.
  • Hardware and faucets – Depending on shower stall choice, there are several alternatives in valves and faucets. Thermostatic valves, single handle faucets, diverter valves, and pressure balancing valves: discuss with Bath Team before beginning to replace your tub with a shower.
