Many homes contain bathtubs that homeowners seldom use. The bathtub may be rarely used, stepping over the tub wall may be inconvenient, the existing tub and shower combination may feel cramped, or the bathroom simply looks outdated. For many households, showering is part of the daily routine — and a bathtub just takes up space that could be put to better use.
A tub-to-shower conversion does not simply mean removing a bathtub and installing a generic shower unit. Peak Slab Bath & Wall can design the new shower around your bathroom, your preferences, the available space, your surface selections, fixtures, glass, and other project details — so the finished shower feels like it belongs in your home.

What Happens When You Convert a Tub to a Shower?
A tub-to-shower conversion transforms the existing bathtub area into a custom shower designed around your bathroom and preferences.
Remove the Existing Bathtub
The existing bathtub and appropriate surrounding materials are removed so the area can be prepared for the new shower.
Prepare the Shower Area
The space is evaluated and prepared for the new shower system based on the project scope and existing conditions.
Install the New Shower
Install the selected shower floor or tray, wall surfaces, fixtures, niches, bench if appropriate, and other components.
Complete the Glass & Finishes
Coordinate the enclosure, hardware, trim, fixtures, and finishing details to complete the new shower.
Design Your New Shower Around the Way You Live
Every tub-to-shower conversion is tailored to the homeowner's space, goals, and preferences. Here are some of the options that can be part of your project.
Walk-In Design
Transform the former bathtub area into a more open shower configuration.
Low-Threshold Entry
Choose an appropriate lower-entry shower design where project conditions allow.
Custom Shower Walls
Select tile or premium large-format slab shower surfaces.
Glass Enclosure
Coordinate glass doors or enclosures appropriate to the new shower layout.
Built-In Niches
Add practical storage for shampoo, soap, and everyday shower products.
Bench or Seating

Coordinated Finishes
Bring wall surfaces, fixtures, glass hardware, flooring, and bathroom finishes together.
Make Getting Into Your Shower More Convenient
One common reason homeowners replace a tub is the tall tub wall that must be stepped over every time. A walk-in or lower-threshold shower configuration can make entering and exiting the shower more convenient while creating a cleaner, more open design.
- Walk-in shower configurations
- Lower-threshold options
- More open shower entrances
- Custom glass enclosures
- Seating where appropriate
- Handheld shower fixtures
- Custom layouts
Homeowners interested primarily in walk-in shower design can learn more on our dedicated walk-in showers page.

Is a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Right for Your Bathroom?
Homeowners throughout Coeur d'Alene and Kootenai County choose to convert a bathtub to a shower for many different reasons.
You Rarely Use the Bathtub
Turn underused bathroom space into something that better fits your everyday routine.
The Tub Is Difficult to Step Over
A lower-entry shower configuration may make getting into the shower more convenient.
You Want More Shower Space
The existing tub footprint may provide an opportunity for a more comfortable shower.
Your Tub/Shower Looks Outdated
Replace aging surfaces, fixtures, doors, and finishes with a more modern design.
Cleaning Has Become a Chore
New surfaces and fewer grout joints may make routine shower maintenance easier.
You Prefer a More Open Bathroom
Glass, modern surfaces, and an updated shower layout can create a cleaner, more open appearance.
Should You Remove the Only Bathtub in Your Home?
Before removing a bathtub, it's worth thinking about how your household uses the space. Consider whether anyone in the home regularly uses a bathtub, whether another bathtub exists elsewhere in the home, family needs, personal preferences, and how the home may be used in the future.
A tub-to-shower conversion is a popular and practical choice for many homeowners, but it's not the right decision for every situation. Peak Slab Bath & Wall can discuss the practical remodeling options and help you think through the project — but the final decision is always yours, based on how your household uses the space.
