Making the Most of Your Bathroom Makeover!
A safe shower – Why worry about a loved one falling and being hospitalized from stepping over the tub. A shower is safer to use.
A stylishly renovated shower – Staring at yellowed fiberglass tub/shower surrounds the new-home builder slapped into your home years ago is a sight you can do without. Get a fresh start with a bath to shower remodel using stylish laminate wall panels and a low-curb solid surface base.
Easy to clean and mold–free walls and bases – Cleaning tiles around your tub surround is no picnic. And worrying about bacteria in grout joints is something you can do without. Replacing your bathtub with grout free wall panels and sturdy shower pans will reduce cleaning time and make a healthier space.
Grow your space – The space to stand inside your tub is small. With a tub to shower conversion kit, you can use add a curved glass enclosure to increase elbow room and make a safer shower.
Add much–needed storage, safety, and seating – Do your shampoo bottles keep falling over in a cheap plastic caddy over the shower head? Do you wish you had a place to sit and shave your legs?

Return on investment – Bathroom remodels offer one of the highest returns on investment according to the Cost/Value Study done by Remodeling Magazine.
We know thinking through the products and installation process of a tub to shower conversion remodel IS NOT something you do every day (or even every 20 years). The goal of The Bath Doctor division of Innovate Building Solutions is to simplify this project for you with this 4-step process:
We understand how difficult it is to sift through the never-ending list of products and options for your tub to shower conversion. Is it best to use a shower pan or roll in shower? Should you go with a tile shower or contemporary grout free wall panels? What’s the best shower head for style and function? Should you use a shower screen, glass enclosure or curtains? And last, but not least, what accessories do you need?
At Bath Doctor – we look to first understand your needs, then take the guesswork out and recommend the best products for your tub to shower conversion. Below you’ll find a brief description of some options available through the Bath Doctor division of Innovate Building Solutions.

If glass shower doors make sense for your bathtub to shower conversion vs. using curtains, you’ll find many styles (from shower screens to sliding, pivoting and bypass doors) and finishes (matte black, chrome, brushed nickel to name the most popular) to complete your space.
Would your shower work best with a rain head, a hand-held unit, or a stationary head? Where should the turn on and turn off valve for your shower be located so you don’t get doused with a cold blast of water every time you turn your shower on? What type of shower head is best to conserve water?
Bath Doctor will help you make these important choices.
The right accessories will make or break your shower experience.
How can you include seating (and not make a cramped space) to shave your legs or for someone who is mobility challenged to shower themselves?
What type of shelving or niches do you need to store all your lotions and potions?
Where should you put the grab bars for a safe shower? What choices do you have which won’t make your new shower look like a hospital room?
We can help you answer these questions.
Showers are preferred to tubs because they’re safer to walk into, have a modern look, provide more space on the inside and are easier to clean.
While money-saving ideas will be best developed after seeing your bathroom, here’s a few strategies to cut installed costs of a bath to walk in shower conversion:
Mold is the enemy of a healthy bathroom. Grout free shower pans, decorative wall surrounds, exhaust fans and operable windows are smart products for a healthy (and mold free) shower.
While the decision between a shower pan with a curb and a curbless design should be driven by the current (and future) needs of your family, it’s less costly to buy a shower pan with a curb – than use a ‘wet room’ system without a curb.
It’s best to use a curbless design when you have a family member who needs the assistance of a wheelchair or you love the minimalistic look of a one level bathroom.
It’s best to use a shower pan with a curb (which are available in curb heights from 1 ½” to 4” high) in the following cases:

It’s our job to guide you through bathtub to shower conversion options – whether it’s with one on one during a bathroom design consultation or in a virtual appointment or with bathroom design articles through our News From The Block Blog or educational YouTube videos.
Tile showers look beautiful after the shower is just completed. Also tile showers can be installed with a wide range of patterns. However, they do have their drawbacks. And this is where grout free shower pans and walls come in.
Choose grout free options to eliminate leaks, reduce project costs and to throw out your tile scrubs brush and cut time cleaning your shower.
The best way to keep water in a 60” wide by 30” to 36” deep walk in shower is to use a curved or pivoting glass system where the glass can be angled back to the drain. Good options include pivoting glass shower doors or a curved walk-in glass block shower.
