Practical guidance
When does removing a tub make sense?
A conversion may make sense when stepping over a tub wall is difficult, the tub is rarely used, or the household prefers showering. Consider who uses the room, whether another bathtub remains in the home, and how long you expect to stay.
Practical guidance
What can change the scope?
The condition behind the existing surround, drain position, valve condition, wall dimensions, floor structure and desired entry height can all affect the work. A proposal should say which conditions were visible and how concealed damage will be handled.
Practical guidance
What should the finished shower include?
Discuss slip resistance, grab-bar backing, seating, handheld shower placement, storage, door clearance and cleaning. These are useful for many households, not only older adults. Make choices around the actual user rather than a generic idea of accessibility.
