Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Central New York | New York Sash

Planning Your Tub-to-Shower Conversions Project

After the old tub and surround are removed, the exposed area can be checked before the new system is installed. Plumbing location and floor conditions determine whether additional work is needed. New York Sash measures the space and plans wall panels and accessories as one coordinated system rather than treating them as unrelated add-ons.

Tub-to-Shower Conversions Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does a tub-to-shower conversion use the same footprint? A: It commonly does, which limits layout changes, but the drain, plumbing, and framing are inspected before the final scope is confirmed. Q: Can the new shower have a seat and grab bars? A: Yes. Seating and grab-bar locations can be planned for the intended user, with blocking or approved mounting methods as required. Q: Should I choose a door or a curtain? A: A door contains water and gives a finished look; a curtain can preserve a wider, less obstructed entry. Room size and mobility needs help determine the better choice. Q: Will removing the only bathtub affect my decision? A: It may. Households with young children or buyers who value a tub should weigh that against current accessibility and bathing needs. Q: Can controls and a handheld shower be repositioned? A: Often they can, but wall access and plumbing changes vary. The desired reach range should be discussed during design.
