Should this bathroom keep the tub, get a shower, or include both?
Usually the choice is the shower service, the toilet and tub service, or both. Sea Level Construction does not list a walk-in shower or a tub-to-shower conversion as its own service. A room that changes from a tub to a shower is discussed as those two services.
Who should keep the shower work separate?
A shower is its own service. Choose it when the shower is the fixture being built or replaced. Bathroom tile and plumbing go with it. Framing is added if the alcove changes.
Who should start with the tub?
Toilet and tub replacement is the service for a toilet, a tub, or both. A tub that also needs tile and a shower valve is a larger job than a toilet swap. A tub and a shower are not the same service.
When does the bathroom need both?
A room can need the shower service and the toilet and tub service on the same project. Say whether the room is keeping one fixture, replacing one, or changing from a tub to a shower. Fixture brands are not published. Materials are chosen for the job.
Can the rest of the bathroom stay?
Yes. A shower can be replaced without remodeling the whole bath. Say whether the toilet, the tub, or the vanity stays. The vanity is its own service when the bath cabinet and sink are part of the work.
