In this episode of the Bathroom Remodeling Cincinnati Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on tub-to-shower conversions. Many homeowners want to replace an old tub they rarely use with a modern walk-in shower, but they’re not sure what the process actually involves. We’ll walk through what happens from the first day of demolition to the final tile grout and glass installation.

You’ll learn why a proper tub-to-shower conversion is more than just swapping fixtures. We’ll explain how we remove the old tub, inspect and update the plumbing, prepare the subfloor, and install a new shower pan with the right slope to the drain. We’ll also cover how we handle framing adjustments, wallboard, waterproofing, and tile or wall panel installation to build a shower that looks great and performs well for the long term.

We’ll talk about design decisions too, including shower size, niche placement, grab bars, benches, and glass options that fit your space and lifestyle. You’ll hear why details like drain location, valve height, and tile layout matter both visually and practically. We’ll also discuss common issues we find behind old tubs, like moisture damage or outdated plumbing, and how addressing those during the conversion protects your home.
