EASE OF MOVEMENT – Standard with all tub/shower replacements, I replace the plumbing from the floor up, including new shut-off valves, if possible. Likewise, the old 1 1/2″ tub drain must be upgraded to a 2″ shower drain and moved slightly. The new shower floor is always set in a sturdy mortar bed for durability and longevity. In this case, we framed in the window to allow a high quality nail-to-stud surround to be installed (rather than an inferior glue-on model). This surround requires no caulk due to the hidden seal/flange at the seams. The new shower curb is only 3″ high, which makes entry much easier than stepping over a tub wall that is usually 16″ or higher. Additionally, we installed two sturdy grab bars in strategic locations to also aid in entry and exit. This homeowner opted out of a sliding shower door in favor of a washable shower curtain. This shower unit features a 10 year residential warranty. Give me a shout if I can make your bathroom more accessible! Estimates are always FREE: 419-212-3200.
