Tired of that old, bulky tub? Would a shower provide better access for you or a loved one? Have a tub but would like a shower also? Or perhaps you are looking for a way to cool off from the San Antonio heat. Whether it’s for health and mobility reasons or just for personal preference, tub to shower conversions in San Antonio can add functionality and make your bathroom safer.
Functionality
There are a few questions to consider when contemplating tub to shower conversions in San Antonio. Consider if the tub should be removed altogether without the option of ever being able to bathe again. To decide this, think about how often the tub is currently being used. How long do you plan to live in your current home? Furthermore, will this conversion affect the resale value negatively or positively? The decision to get rid of a tub may not be an easy one. It is recommended that you sit down and make a list of pros and cons of having a tub, shower only or both.
Safety
There are many reasons to decide to toss out the bath tub for a shower. For elderly and disabled individuals, getting in and out of a tub can be a troublesome task. Traditional bath tubs can be slippery and create potential risks for falling. A shower can provide easier access for the elderly and individuals with mobility issues. There are many accessories available like seats, bars and more that can be added to the conversion to give an individual back that sense of independence that may have been lost.
Do -It-Yourself or Professional
While do-it-yourself projects can prove inexpensive and rewarding, they also require time. This may not be an option with a busy family, work or a loved one to care for. Keep in mind a project of this magnitude requires working with plumbing. This may be something many individuals have no knowledge of and are not interested in learning. For this reason, many may choose to go with a licensed contractor. Selecting the right contractor can be a difficult task, especially in a large city like San Antonio. When choosing a contractor for tub to shower conversions in San Antonio, make sure they are fully insured, licensed and experienced.
