Common Tub-to-
Shower Mistakes
To Avoid?

Before planning and picking out materials, here are some common shower conversion mistakes to avoid.

Ensure Proper Drainage

If the drain doesn’t work properly, the shower can quickly become a safety hazard. An ineffective drain means dangerous puddles and slippery floors.

Prevent Steam Buildup

Unchecked humidity can lead to water damage and mold and bacteria growth. Ensure your bathroom has an adequate fan to limit steam and prevent future problems.

Check Lighting

Poorly lit bathrooms can be the cause of shower injuries and accidents. Determine whether you need additional lighting based on the design of your new bathroom.

Choose the Right Contractor

Choosing the wrong contractor can be an incredibly costly mistake. You don’t need the most expensive contractor to do the job right. Be sure to do your research!

Know What You Want

The best way to avoid mistakes and mishaps is by planning thoroughly before starting your shower conversion project. Doing your homework will let you move
forward with confidence.
