FAQ's
Is a tub-to-shower conversion worth the investment for my home?
Absolutely. A tub-to-shower conversion offers both functional and financial benefits. It modernizes your bathroom, enhances accessibility, and can even increase your home’s resale value—especially in South Park Township where many buyers look for updated, low-maintenance bathrooms. Beyond convenience, these conversions also make cleaning easier and improve safety for seniors or those with mobility issues. With River City Bath’s expert craftsmanship, the value added often outweighs the initial cost.
How long does the tub-to-shower conversion process typically take?
Most conversions by River City Bath are completed in 1 to 2 days. Our efficient, mess-minimizing process includes precise demolition, plumbing adjustments, waterproofing, and seamless shower installation. Unlike full bathroom remodels that can drag on for weeks, our specialized tub-to-shower conversion process is streamlined—allowing you to use your new shower quickly with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Will I need a permit for a tub-to-shower conversion in South Park Township?
Yes, in many cases, a plumbing or building permit is required—especially if structural changes or major plumbing alterations are involved. River City Bath handles all local code compliance and permitting on your behalf. Our team is familiar with the South Park Township regulations and ensures all work is up to code, eliminating the risk of penalties or delays.
What types of showers can I choose from in a conversion?
River City Bath offers a wide variety of customizable shower styles. Whether you prefer low-threshold entry, barrier-free options, built-in seating, grab bars, or multi-function showerheads, we tailor each system to your space and lifestyle. From classic tiled surrounds to sleek, solid-surface walls in modern finishes, our materials are selected for durability, beauty, and easy maintenance.
Is a tub-to-shower conversion safe for seniors or individuals with mobility issues?
Yes—this is one of the main reasons homeowners request the conversion. We specialize in accessible and senior-friendly shower solutions that reduce slip and fall risks. Options include non-slip flooring, grab bars, built-in benches, and low or zero-threshold entries. Our team understands aging-in-place needs and can recommend ADA-compliant upgrades that ensure both safety and comfort.
Will removing my tub hurt my home’s resale value?
Not necessarily. While having at least one bathtub is recommended for families with young children, many buyers actually prefer large, modern showers. If your home already has another tub elsewhere, converting one into a shower can make your property more appealing. In the South Park area, contemporary bathrooms with walk-in showers are in demand and can make your home stand out in listings.
What are common misconceptions about tub-to-shower conversions?
One common myth is that conversions are messy, time-consuming, or involve major construction. In reality, River City Bath uses a controlled, efficient installation process that minimizes disruption. Another misconception is that only large bathrooms qualify—however, we can design compact yet spacious-feeling showers even in tight layouts. Our custom approach adapts to nearly any bathroom.
Can I keep the same plumbing layout to reduce costs?
Yes. In most cases, we can convert the tub to a shower using your existing plumbing lines, which helps keep the project more affordable and less invasive. However, if your current setup is outdated or not up to code, slight plumbing modifications may be recommended. Our licensed professionals assess this during the consultation and provide clear, upfront estimates.
Are there any hidden benefits to converting a tub to a shower?
Definitely. Many homeowners are surprised by how much space, accessibility, and visual openness the new shower provides. Maintenance is easier, especially with our grout-free wall systems and mold-resistant materials. You’ll also conserve water with newer showerheads and enjoy quicker daily routines. For some, it’s the peace of mind that comes with knowing their bathroom is safer and easier to use long-term.
What materials do you use and how do they hold up over time?
We use premium acrylics, cultured marble, and solid-surface materials that are designed to last for decades without cracking, fading, or staining. These materials are mold-resistant, grout-free, and easy to clean—perfect for busy homeowners or those with health sensitivities. River City Bath stands behind our craftsmanship and materials with warranties that provide long-term peace of mind.
