Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Atlanta, GA
Trade a Tub You Don't Use for a Shower You Will
If your bathtub no longer fits how you use the bathroom, a walk-in shower may be a practical alternative. Custom Tile of Atlanta can help you plan the new shower within the available space, from tile and fixtures to the finished enclosure.
Make Better Use of the Space You Have
Your New Shower
A conversion starts with the dimensions and condition of the existing tub area. We can discuss the shower entrance, available floor space, fixture placement, tile, storage niches, and whether you prefer a glass enclosure or another layout. The final scope depends on the room and any plumbing or structural work required. We plan the conversion around how you will use the shower for years, not around the quickest way to take out a tub.
Project Scope
What Happens During a Tub-to-Shower Conversion?
The existing tub and surrounding materials may need to be removed before the shower area can be prepared. Depending on the layout, work may also involve plumbing changes, building the new shower base, waterproofing, tiling, and installing the selected fixtures or enclosure.
We’ll review the existing room before defining the work and the expected schedule.

Walk-In Showers We Have Built
Our Work
Finished walk-in showers from our own jobs, showing the bench, niche, glass and floor choices a conversion comes down to.
"Andre is an expert craftsman. We love the job he did replacing everything in our bathroom. This included replacing all the tile, removing a tub, and installing a shower." Hank
A Bench and Niche Built Into the Wall
A built-in bench with a marble top sits inside the glass door, with a recessed niche set into the checkerboard tile. Both are framed before the walls are tiled, so they are decided early.
Stone-Look Walk-In Shower With a Mosaic Floor
Warm stone-look wall tile with a coordinating mosaic floor. Smaller floor tile follows the slope to the drain and gives more grip underfoot.
