Bathroom Renovation: Converting an Old Tub into a Modern Walk-In Tile Shower
Some bathrooms are simply ready for a fresh start.
Why Convert a Tub to a Walk-In Shower?
This bathroom had an outdated look — purple fixtures, older finishes, and a layout that no longer fit the homeowner’s style or needs. The goal was to completely transform the space into something modern, functional, and built to last.
DLR removed the old fixtures and finishes and rebuilt the bathroom with a custom walk-in tile shower, updated vanity area, new lighting, and durable flooring that gives the entire space a clean, modern feel.
Materials Used in This Bathroom Renovation
The renovation focused on creating a modern, functional bathroom while maximizing the space.
Key improvements included:
• Removing the outdated tub and fixtures
• Installing a custom walk-in tile shower
• Replacing a window inside the shower area to bring in natural light
• Installing a new vanity and updated lighting
• Tiling the wall area above and around the vanity
• Installing new durable bathroom flooring
• Updating trim and finishing details for a clean final look
Each part of the project was completed with durability and everyday usability in mind.

The Result of the Renovations
The finished bathroom now feels completely different from the original space.
The walk-in shower creates an open, modern look while the new vanity, lighting, and tile details give the room a bright and clean feel. Natural light from the window adds to the overall transformation.
What was once a dated bathroom is now a comfortable, updated space that fits the home perfectly.
