In this episode of the Bathroom Remodeling Spokane Podcast, we’re walking you step-by-step through what actually happens during a tub-to-walk-in-shower conversion. Many homeowners in Spokane, Spokane Valley, and nearby areas are choosing to remove an old bathtub and replace it with a modern walk-in shower. It’s one of the most popular bathroom remodeling projects, and it can completely change how your bathroom feels and functions. But what does the process really look like.

We’ll start with what happens before any tile comes off the wall. Planning and measuring are key in a bathroom renovation like this. We’ll explain how we look at plumbing, drain locations, wall structure, and clearances for glass doors or panels. We’ll also talk about how we help homeowners choose tile, fixtures, and shower systems that match their style and daily routine. A good plan keeps the project smooth and helps avoid surprises.

Then we’ll walk you through the actual conversion process. We’ll explain how the old tub is removed, how the walls are opened, and how we update plumbing to fit the new walk-in shower. You’ll hear about building the new shower pan, installing waterproofing, and preparing the space for tile installation. We’ll also cover finishing touches like glass doors, niches, benches, and grab bars, which can add comfort, safety, and convenience to your new shower.

In this episode of the Bathroom Remodeling Spokane Podcast, we’re going behind the scenes to talk about something you don’t see in the final photos but absolutely feel over time: waterproofing. When you start a bathroom remodeling project, it’s easy to focus on tile, fixtures, and colors. But what’s underneath the tile in your shower and around wet areas is just as important. Proper waterproofing protects your home from leaks, mold, and expensive water damage.

We’ll break down what waterproofing really means in a modern bathroom renovation. From shower pans and membranes to backer boards and sealants, there are several layers that work together to keep water where it belongs. We’ll explain why regular drywall is not appropriate behind shower tile, why a well-built shower pan is critical, and how proper tile installation connects with the waterproofing system. You’ll learn what to ask your contractor so you know your new walk-in shower is built to last.

We’ll also talk about common waterproofing mistakes we see in older bathrooms around Spokane, Spokane Valley, and nearby communities. Things like missing or poorly installed waterproofing, gaps in corners, or wrong materials used behind the walls can lead to soft spots, musty smells, or visible leaks over time. A quality bathroom remodeling company will take this part of the project very seriously, even if it’s not the most glamorous part of the job.

A beautiful modern bathroom design starts with a solid foundation, and that foundation is dry, protected, and built the right way.

This episode of the Bathroom Remodeling Spokane Podcast is all about small bathrooms and how to make them feel bigger, brighter, and more functional. Many homes in Spokane, Spokane Valley, and surrounding areas have compact bathrooms that feel cramped, dark, or awkward to use. A smart bathroom remodeling plan can completely change that experience without needing to move every wall. We’ll walk you through simple layout decisions and design choices that help you get more out of every inch.

We’ll talk about how careful placement of the vanity, toilet, and shower can improve how you move through the room. Sometimes shifting a door, choosing a shallow vanity, or converting a tub into a walk-in shower can open up the floor space and make the bathroom feel more comfortable. We’ll discuss options like corner vanities, sliding shower doors, and wall-hung fixtures that free up visual space and create a cleaner look in modern bathroom design.

Lighting plays a huge role in small bathroom remodeling. We’ll cover how layered lighting, brighter finishes, and well-placed mirrors can bounce light around the room and make the space feel larger. We’ll also talk about practical storage ideas, like recessed niches, medicine cabinets, and built-in shelving, so you can keep counters clear without losing the things you need every day. Simple tile installation choices, like using larger tiles or running them vertically, can also change how big your bathroom feels.

Reach out to LUV Bathroom Remodeling Spokane when you’re ready to turn your small bathroom into a space that feels open, comfortable, and easy to use every day.

In this episode of the Bathroom Remodeling Spokane Podcast, we’re taking the mystery out of tile choices for a busy family bathroom. When you start planning a bathroom remodeling project, you quickly realize that not all tiles are created equal. Porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone all look great in photos, but they behave very differently once they are installed in a real, high-traffic bathroom. This episode will help you understand the pros and cons of each so you can choose the right tile for your floors, shower walls, and even custom shower bases.

We’ll start with porcelain tile, one of the most popular options for bathroom renovation projects in Spokane and Spokane Valley. Porcelain is dense, durable, and highly water-resistant, which makes it a great choice for bathroom floors and walk-in showers. We’ll talk about how porcelain holds up under kids, pets, and constant use, and why its low water absorption makes it ideal for tile installation in wet areas. You’ll also hear how porcelain can mimic natural stone or wood while still being easier to maintain.

Next, we’ll look at ceramic tile and where it can make sense in your bathroom remodeling plans. Ceramic can be a solid choice for walls and some lower-traffic areas, and it often comes in a wide range of styles and colors. We’ll explain how ceramic compares to porcelain in terms of durability, maintenance, and cost, and when it might be worth upgrading. Natural stone, such as marble or travertine, brings a unique and luxurious feel to modern bathroom design, but it also needs more care. We’ll cover sealing, cleaning, and what to expect over time if you choose stone.

We’ll also share some practical tips about grout choices, slip resistance for bathroom floors, and how tile size and layout can change the look and feel of your space. Whether you’re remodeling a family bathroom in Liberty Lake or updating a guest bath in Cheney, this episode will help you choose tile that looks beautiful and stands up to real life.

Reach out to LUV Bathroom Remodeling Spokane when you’re ready to pick tile that fits your style, your budget, and your everyday routine.

On this episode of the Bathroom Remodeling Spokane Podcast, we’re talking about one of the biggest decisions homeowners face during a bathroom remodeling project: should you keep a tub or go with a walk-in shower. This is a key choice in any bathroom remodel Spokane project, because it affects your daily routine, your comfort, and even your home’s future resale value. We’ll walk you through how to think about your space, your lifestyle, and your long-term plans so you can feel confident about the direction you choose.

Many homeowners in Spokane, Spokane Valley, and Liberty Lake are moving toward walk-in showers for a cleaner, more modern bathroom design. A walk-in shower can make your bathroom feel larger, more open, and easier to use every day, especially if you prefer quick showers over long baths. On the other hand, a tub can be a must-have for families with young kids, people who enjoy soaking, or homeowners who want at least one bathtub in the home for future buyers. We’ll talk about how to balance what you want today with what might matter later.

We’ll also break down some practical details you might not have considered. Things like how much room you really need for a comfortable custom shower, where the plumbing currently sits, how door swing or glass panels affect the layout, and whether a tub-shower combo might still make sense in a smaller space. We’ll touch on important aspects of bathroom renovation like drain locations, waterproofing under the shower floor, and how tile installation choices can help your shower last longer and stay easier to clean.

If you’re thinking about updating your bathroom, you can reach our team at (509) 267-6687 or visit luvbathroomremodelingspokane.com to learn more about our bathroom remodeling services. In this episode, we’ll give you simple questions to ask yourself, examples from real bathroom remodeling projects, and tips on how to talk with your contractor so you end up with a space that truly fits your routine. Whether you’re dreaming of a sleek walk-in shower with custom tile or a deep soaking tub surrounded by warm finishes, we’ll help you understand your options and make a choice you’ll feel good about every day.
