"Bath Planet did an excellent job with a bathtub to shower conversion. It turned out better than expected with the bathroom being small and an odd shaped wall. They worked wonders to give use a beautiful shower. I highly recommend Bath Planet for all your remodeling needs."
"Great experience- requested a quote and got a response same day (this already felt like a victory since I inquired at 3 other companies and no one bothered to call back or show up!) The representative they sent out showed up on time, listened to me, and shared all my options. Nothing in the process felt pushy at all, and my husband and I got exactly what we wanted. The work was completed on time and they exceeded our expectations. I am planning to remodel our master bathroom next year and I will definitely be calling them."
"What an outstanding company, easy to work with, very professional and courteous. Very detail oriented and kept my property clean. I couldn't have picked a better vinyl siding company."
"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."
"I highly recommend Five Star Bath Solutions to anyone considering a bathroom remodel. From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They took the time to understand what we wanted. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding, although they ran into a few plumbing issues which caused a delay in finishing in two days, Eric Sokol the General Manager explained the issue and he and Sal the installer worked diligently to adjust and complete the installation. At all times, Eric and Sal were courteous, respectful of my home, and paid attention to every detail. My new bathroom looks beautiful, modern, and feels like a completely new space. If you are looking for a company that provides excellent customer service, high-quality products, and dependable work, Five Star Bath Solutions is a great choice. We would absolutely use them again and confidently recommend them to family and friends. Jame & JoAnn"
"Customer service and workers were so nice and patient. Installed a whole new bathtub, shower, and vanity all within 2 days! Even came to ask me about little details that I wouldnâ t have even thought about myself. Will recommend to anyone who needs bathroom work done."
"From the initial sales call to the installation their follow-through was 100% perfect. The 2 men who installed the walk in shower were clean and did a fast/perfect installation. I highly recommend his company."
"It was great. Chris, Pete and Mike answered all of our questions, they were honest, helpful, clean and very professional. Our bathroom is beautiful thanks to them."
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
While a custom shower costs more and is trickier to install than a prefabricated type, tailoring the layout is particularly useful in small bathrooms with limited space and offers complete design freedom. You can build a shower bench for a family member with limited mobility or a shower niche (built-in, ingressed shelves) to hold clutter and act as a focal point.
Moisture can cause all sorts of paint issues, including paint bubbling around your showerhead. When water from the showerhead gets onto the ceiling, it can cause the layers of paint to separate, leading to bubbling on the ceiling.
How much room you need for a roll-in shower depends on your goals and the specifications of your shower. Most roll-in showers require at least 60-by-30 inches of space, and at least 60-by-60 inches is best for comfort and maneuverability. When planning the size of your roll-in shower, consider your needs for comfort and additional installations, such as benches and grab bars, that can make the space tighter.
Medicare does not typically cover the cost of a walk-in shower. The federal health insurance program considers a walk-in shower to be a home alteration rather than a medical necessity, even though walk-in showers would assist many people who are eligible for Medicare. Medicare Advantage Plans and Medicaid are more likely to cover the cost of a walk-in shower. It’s not a guarantee, even with a letter from a physician, and if reimbursement is authorized, it usually comes after the individual pays the upfront installation fee.
The size of the pipe you use for your shower depends on the part of the shower you’re installing. Shower drainpipes have a 2-inch diameter, and the water supply lines (both hot and cold) have a ½-inch diameter. You may want to slightly increase the size of the vertical pipe if you have dual showerheads. Check the local building code prior to installation for guidance.
