Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Southampton, NJ

This bathroom renovation replaced an outdated bathtub with a spacious, modern walk-in shower designed for improved accessibility, everyday comfort, and easier maintenance. The existing bathtub and tile surround were completely removed to make way for a new shower system featuring updated plumbing, a new drain assembly, and a professionally installed shower pan.

The new shower was completed with a three-piece acrylic wall surround, a new shower valve with oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, and a framed glass enclosure that brightened the space while providing a clean, timeless appearance. Drywall repairs were completed where needed, followed by a seamless paint tie-in to blend the new work with the existing finishes.

The completed renovation delivered a more open, functional bathroom while replacing aging materials with durable, low-maintenance products designed for years of reliable everyday use.

Rendering

For projects where selections haven’t been finalized, we create concept renderings to help homeowners visualize the layout, materials, and overall design before construction begins. These renderings are planning tools—not architectural drawings—that help everyone make informed decisions and move forward with confidence.
