A walk-in shower without a door is referred to as a barrier-free shower or doorless walk-in shower. This feature makes the shower more accessible for people with disabilities, but it can also be attractive for minimalist designs because of the clean lines. A doorless walk-in shower also means one less surface to clean, but they can have downsides like splashing water and a lack of privacy, so do your research first.

Regrouting a shower, especially if you’re doing so as part of a larger bathroom renovation, is worth it. Not only will your shower look better overall after regrouting, but it will also become more water-resistant, decreasing the chances of water damage behind the tiles as well as mold and mildew growth. 

There are many benefits of converting a tub to a walk-in shower, including: 

• Increasing home value (if there’s another tub in the house)

• Taking up less space and improving bathroom space flow

• Making bathrooms look larger

• Improving home safety by removing a major trip-and-fall hazard

• Easing showering for those who benefit from more accessibility 

• Saving money on water bills

All bathtub materials have advantages and disadvantages. Cast iron is the most durable option, but these heavy tubs are expensive and not always suitable for bathtubs on upper floors. Acrylic is a good option for those on a budget. However, copper has many unique benefits if you want something that wows and requires minimal maintenance.
