Frequently Asked Questions
Does removing a bathtub hurt resale value?
It depends. A home should have at least one bathtub (especially with multiple bathrooms). Converting a second or third bathroom's tub to a walk-in shower actually increases value. A master bath walk-in shower is now preferred by most buyers over a tub.
How long does walk-in shower installation take?
Prefab/acrylic: 1-3 days. Custom tile: 5-10 days (including waterproofing cure time and grout drying). Allow extra time if plumbing needs to be moved.
