Does Converting Your Tub to a Shower Increase Value?

As a general contractor in San Diego that only works on bathroom remodels this is one of our largest project requests. So much so that we partnered with FIBO shower systems to add to our services. We’ll talk about them another time.

Now, while converting your tub to a shower can provide for a better bathroom experience among other things…is it actually increasing the value of your home when you do so?

There are a lot of smaller homes here in San Diego (we’re outside anyway!) and oftentimes with only one bathroom. I hear all the time, “If I take out the tub then what if a young family wants to buy this house?”

A very valid point and there are many factors to consider in this case. Do you actually live in an area where young families are big buyers? Is your bathroom old and gross looking? Are you planning on selling anytime soon? Why are you dealing with a bathroom you don’t like for someone else that may or may not by your home in the who knows when future?

You get the idea, so let’s get into it.

Ditch the Drama, Embrace the Shower: 10 Reasons to Convert Your Bathtub Today

Ah, the bathtub. A symbol of relaxation and self-care, right? Not so fast. Let’s face it, those behemoths can be a lot more trouble than they’re worth. Between the endless cleaning, the slippery surfaces, and the sheer lack of space, it’s often a battle to simply enjoy a soak.

But fear not, fellow bathroom warriors! There’s a solution that’s both practical and hilarious: ditch the tub and embrace the shower! Here are 10 reasons why you should make the switch:
