Comments (15)Is you current tub/shower combo in an alcove? If your bathtub is enclosed in an alcove and has a surround of tile or other material and you measured from one end to the other, you need to add at least an inch to your measurement for each wall you encounter. When my son first measured his tub area he thought it was 28x58 but when the contractor measured it he said that the rough in measurements would be for 30x60 tub/shower. You may want to recheck your measurements. My son ended up using Kohler's 30x60 cast iron shower pan. It is designed to replace a standard tub. He did you glass doors on his new shower. He would have like to use a hinged door but had to go with sliders because he could not change the location of the valves and he wanted to be able to turn on the shower without getting into it first. My son falls into the big and tall category and did notice that the shower area seemed slightly smaller with the glass than with a shower curtain. But even with that he prefers having the glass doors. Here is a not quite finished picture of his shower with Kohler's Salient shower pan....See MoreTiny Bathroom - Layout Help (Bathtub or Shower?)
Comments (6)Ok. I have an idea! First of all let’s do a sliding barn door on the outside so we save on some room. Then I think you do need a bathtub. I totally agree with your family ... but! I’ve seen a standing tub in a shower. I’m wondering if this can work in this small space. I’m going to try finding pictures.... but I think as big as we can make the shower we can try to see if a tub works also. This is to maximize the space you do have. Am I making sense?...See Morebathtub replacement?
Comments (4)I've also broken up a couple of cast iron tubs. I covered them with old bed sheets to contain the flying shards and went at it with a 4 lb hammer. Twenty minutes later I could take the pieces out a bucketful at a time. Very satisfying work. Taking those heavy things out intact would have caused a lot of cosmetic damage. Just make sure you disconnect the drain first....See MoreAJCN
