I just finished a remodel and replaced the shower/tub combination with a great shower. I really couldn't tell you how much it cost because your costs would depend on the cost of labor in your area plus the materials and fixtures you choose. My showers were expensive because they were taken down to the studs. The rough plumbing including the drains had to be replaced. Both the floor and the walls had to be waterproofed. I also opted for relatively expensive finishes - Encore tiles and marble basket weave floors with Phyrich fixtures. I live in a jurisdiction which required multiple inspections before work could proceed including flood tests for the shower pan. The work was done by a licensed plumber and the tile work was done by a really experienced tile setter so labor was expensive. The end results of the intricate tile designs were done really well and so I have none of the horror stories that are rampant on this forum. I love the end result and I also am as sure as one can be that my new shower doesn't leak or have structural issues. Getting rid of the tub/shower combination was one of the best things I did in my new remodel as the end result is both highly functional and - at least in my opinion - beautiful.

haha! I'm laughing. Thank you for the input. yes, the lights drive me crazy. From previous owner. I haven't tackled this room yet, because it's low priority for me... but I've been forced to give it some attention, now. I'd really prefer another style, but I suppose we could at least flip them the correct way. The art is original to the previous owner as well. They left everything behind! I just haven't gotten to this room since we're blending a family with 11 kids, doing the distance learning thing, and have a bunch of repairs and higher priority projects I've focused on. Literally didn't even touch some of the ordinary art just out of exhaustion. lol! Love the input so far! Thank you

Do you like the almond coloured tub? A new tub does not have to be expensive at all. A simple alcove style tub can be purchased for under $500 easily. If the colour isn't working for you and is making other decisions difficult, then get rid of it when you are getting rid of everything else. But if you do need to keep it, then why not choose to compliment the colour rather than match it. Maybe a creamy white tile would work well with it, not stark white. And depending on the tile, maybe a warm taupey coloured grout to relate back to the tub. Here are a few ideas that might work - it depends on the actual colour of the tub. I think I would choose white for the other fixtures and I'd consider a wood vanity to help play with the almond tone of the tub. Here is an idea...for the wood tone and then I'd put a white top on the vanity and a white sink.

You must be so satisfied with how it has come out. As a viewer I know I am! Now, if only housing stock in Australia had such good bones………….
