Photos Used for Estimating Cost of Tub to Walk-In Shower Conversion

Occasionally we will ask that you send us photos of your tub for an estimate. Here are some things we'd like to see.

Tub Full Frontal View

Full-frontal view -  provides a view of the bath-room layout. The raised embossing on the front tub panel indicates that this tub is steel.

Tub rail birds-eye view – the 4+ inches between the toilet and tub is not enough room for cutting either a steel or cast-iron tub; however, it may be enough for a fiberglass cut.  For situations such as this, including a yardstick in your photo would be most helpful.
