In this episode of the Bathroom Remodeling Boulder Podcast, we walk step-by-step through a tub-to-shower conversion so you know exactly what happens from the first day of demo to the final clean. If you’re tired of climbing over a tall tub wall or dealing with an outdated surround, this episode will give you a clear picture of the process, the mess, the timeline, and the finished result. Our goal is to help you feel prepared and confident before your project begins.

​

We start with planning: measuring your existing tub space, checking plumbing locations, and reviewing the condition of your walls and floor. Then we discuss design decisions like shower size, layout, tile installation, glass style, and storage niches. You’ll hear how we think through things like shower head height, valve placement, and entry location so the new walk-in shower feels natural to use.

​

Next, we walk through demo day. We explain what it looks like when the old tub, surround, and drywall or backer are removed, how we protect surrounding areas, and what we’re looking for once everything is opened up. From checking studs and subfloor condition to making any needed plumbing adjustments, you’ll understand what’s going on behind the scenes before new materials go in.

​

Then we cover building the new shower: installing a proper waterproof shower base or pan, adding the right wall backer, using high-quality waterproofing systems, then setting tile with careful slopes and layout. We’ll talk about installing niches, benches, and grab bars, plus how glass is measured and installed at the end.
