Unless they have small "shower cabinets," older New Hampshire homes have conventional bathtubs with a shower head above. It means stepping over a high edge to get in and showering on a slippery tub bottom. Therefore, it's not hard to see why NH bathroom remodeling companies are asked to make tub-to-shower conversions quite commonly. A step-in shower with a large space, formerly occupied by the tub, is a significant upgrade that's achievable for many homes. It adds convenience and pleasure and is safer for kids and older adults. As a result, such conversions are part of many bathroom remodeling plans today.

In addition to the safety and quality of life improvements, tub-to-shower conversions can improve the look of your bathroom. Specifically, if you use glass doors, the openness of the shower instantly makes your bathroom feel more spacious, even if it is small. The shower surround or tile you select also adds visual impact and becomes a focal point. If you've had a traditional tub with a shower curtain pulled closed, it can significantly reduce the feeling of space in your bathroom. When you open things and the sight lines with glass doors beginning at floor height, the room automatically takes on a new appearance.

When you convert to a shower, it's ideal to consider a total bathroom upgrade. Remodeling adds value to your home and makes daily life more pleasant. A new sink, faucet, and toilet will refresh the room, save water, and help lower your monthly bills. Because your bathroom is one of your home's most heavily used rooms, upgrading it adds comfort and convenience for everyone in the family. Outdated design and fixtures can cause repairs and maintenance needs that you avoid when things are new. You can also make selections that suit your needs and style.

As you shop around and consider ways to remodel your bathroom, keep an eye on quality and price. What company offers you the most for your money? The prices for step-in showers can vary widely. It somewhat depends on the materials used, but the contractor's pricing is a factor. Also, inquire about their references and customer reviews. When crews work inside your home, you'll want to know about the company. You may also choose to go with local people who know your community and its needs. However you do it, adding a step-in shower to your home is a great idea.
