The Tale of the Tub and the Shower

As a child, I always fantasized lying down in a bath tub and enjoying the soap bubbles all over my body and giving me a relaxing, rejuvenated feeling. However, my bathroom never boasted of a bath tub. Probably, my Dad was not as fantasized as me.

The Tub Tale

So, as soon as I had a living space of my own, the one must-have in the bathroom was a bath tub. I lived my fantasy for a while. However, it ended sooner than I ever thought. With the changing trends, even my preference changed to a walk-in shower.

The walk-In shower 

The bathroom remodeling Los Angeles professionals from RAP Construction Group helped me make this task possible and now I have a lovely walk-in-shower to boast of in my bathroom.

Here are some learning’s from my journey from the bath tub to the walk-in shower.

• If the tub is an alcove, then the space left after removing the tub is ideal for a walk-in shower. For it is 30 to 34 inches deep and 5 feet wide; which is ideal for the shower. The minimum requirements for remodeling would be minor changes in the plumbing and drainage lines.  

• If the tub is a free-standing one, then remodeling will need some more planning. Often, the free standing tubs are placed near the windows, and owners mostly detest showers near windows. Ideally, a separate location would be required, which needs a new design. If the location is close to the existing one, then plumbing and drainage lines would not need a change. However, if the location is far away, then the remodeling will involve a whole lot of changes with plumbing and drainage lines.

Consider all these while you change your preferences.

Whatever the case, the professionals from RAP Construction can make it possible in the most efficient way.
