Not all bathtub enclosures are made equally, especially if they aren’t a part of the owner’s suite. These bathtub/shower combos may be too small, a little dark and dingy, and hard to clean.

If you are thinking about a change, consider updating your bathtub/shower combination to an oversized shower. There are loads of benefits to making this bathroom conversion, such as:

  • Improved Space
  • More Light
  • Less Moisture-Damage
  • Lower Maintenance

More Space to Move Around In

An oversized shower is exactly as its name implies, a much larger shower enclosure. Because bathtubs have thick walls, this takes up a lot of room in the enclosure. But if you remove the tub, that’s extra space for the shower base and glass doors.

Brighter & More Enjoyable Space

Removing the high tub walls and switching from a shower curtain to glass doors will allow more light to enter the enclosure. So, you’ll have an easier time seeing, and your new shower enclosure will feel brighter and more comfortable.

Less Water Escaping the Shower Enclosure

By adding a little more floor and wall coverage with the oversized shower pan and installing glass doors to stop water spray, less water will escape the enclosure. This results in a safer bathroom with no puddles, and less moisture damage to the floors and walls.

Easier to Clean & Maintain

Maintaining your shower enclosure is easier too. Many remodelers use nonporous acrylic for modern showers and bathtub remodels. Companies, like Luxury Bath, also custom form the new bathtub or shower to fit the entire enclosure from the floors to the walls.

There’s no tile, no grout, no silicone, and no cast iron tubs that need refinishing. You have less maintenance to deal with overtime.

Plus, the nonporous surface resists ground-in dirt, mold, and mildew growth. It doesn’t even need scrubbing to clean. You just use a wet cloth to wipe any dirt off the acrylic.
