Initial Assessment and Planning

Every transformation begins with a thorough assessment. Bath Wizard®’s expert team starts by examining the existing tub setup, identifying any underlying issues such as leaks, inadequate drainage, or structural weaknesses. This initial step is crucial to ensure that the new walk-in shower not only fits perfectly but also functions flawlessly.

Once the assessment is complete, the team collaborates with the homeowner to design a shower that meets their specific needs and style preferences. From choosing durable materials to selecting the type of glass door, every detail is meticulously planned to guarantee satisfaction.

The Design Details

The vision for a new walk-in shower typically includes some key elements:

  • Glass Door Specifications: The choice of glass doors ranges from frameless for a modern, minimalist look, to framed for added stability. Each door is crafted with tempered safety glass, ensuring both elegance and security.
  • Shower Fixtures: High-end fixtures are selected to complement the design, often including rain shower heads or hand-held sprays for versatility.
  • Tile and Material Choices: Durable and easy-to-clean tiles are chosen for the shower walls and floor, adding both function and beauty.

Step-by-Step Transformation Process

Transforming an old tub into a walk-in shower involves several key steps:

  1. Demolition and Removal: The first phase involves carefully removing the existing bathtub without causing damage to the surrounding areas. This sets the foundation for the new installation.
  2. Plumbing and Electrical Work: Any necessary adjustments to plumbing and wiring are made to accommodate the new shower layout.
  3. Installation of Shower Base and Walls: The shower base is installed first, followed by the wall panels. This ensures a water-tight seal and a solid structure.
  4. Fitting the Glass Door: Precision is key when fitting the glass door, ensuring seamless operation and a perfect fit.
  5. Finishing Touches: Finally, the team adds the finishing touches, including grouting, sealants, and fixture installation.

Overcoming Challenges

While each project is unique, Bath Wizard®’s team is equipped to handle unexpected challenges. Whether it’s addressing unforeseen plumbing issues or customizing a design to fit an unconventional space, their expertise ensures every obstacle is met with a practical solution.

The Final Result

The transformation is nothing short of astounding. Gone are the bulky tubs, replaced by open, inviting walk-in showers that transform the bathroom into a space of tranquility and modern elegance. Customers, like Sandra L., couldn’t be happier with the results, expressing that their new shower “is beyond expectations” and the process was “professional and efficient.”

  • Safety: Without the high tub wall, the risk of slips and falls is greatly reduced.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: A modern, luxurious look that can increase the home’s overall value.
  • Ease of Maintenance: New materials and glass doors mean less upkeep compared to traditional tubs.
  • Personalization: Fully customizable to meet individual style and functionality needs.
