(WDEF) Bathroom remodeling contractor Dan Updike says many of his customers are choosing to ditch bulky tubs in favor of more luxurious showers. He said, "The bathing generation is kind of gone by the wayside. We are a pretty much shower generation anymore. So rather than have the bathtub that you lift your leg over that's a confined space if you put in a large shower it's more of the spa-type shower." Angie Hicks of Angie's List added, "The trend these days is to convert bathtubs into showers. There are so many choices when it comes to showers and they potentially take up less space than the large garden tubs that have been historically in homes. If you are a homeowner that wants to age in place, grow old in your home, a shower can be a safer alternative for you." Updike says converting a standard five-foot tub into a shower typically starts around $4,500, but prices can quickly increase depending on the materials and options you choose. He said, "If you want to go tub to a shower it's very simple to do, you just need to move plumbing a little bit for the new setup. Other than that they make shower bases the same size as bathtubs. We normally use solid surface bases instead of plastic or fiberglass. They are very heavy duty and come in a variety of colors to coordinate whether it's tile on the walls or solid surface wall panels." While nearly every bathtub can be converted into a shower, it's not always the best idea. Hicks said, "Replacing a tub for a shower is not for everyone. If you only have one bathroom in your house you want to be sure you keep a tub because what will end up happening is you'll hurt your resale value. Families with kids, they like tubs and without one it can hurt you." Angie's List says this is a job best left for the professionals, so make sure you hire a reputable contractor.

If your bathroom could use a little love, it's a smart place to spend money. Behind kitchens, bathrooms provide the second best return on investment when remodeling. In this week's Angie's List report, Nancy Naeve takes a closer look at a growing trend in bathroom design. Should you swap your tub for a shower?

Bathroom remodeling contractor, Dan Updike, says many of his customers are choosing to ditch bulky tubs in favor of more luxurious showers.

The bathing generation is kind of gone by the wayside. We are a pretty much shower generation anymore. So rather than have the bathtub that you lift your leg over that's a confined space if you put in a large shower it's more of the spa-type shower, Bathroom Remodeling Contractor Dan Updike said.

"The trend these days is to convert bathtubs into showers. There are so many choices when it comes to showers and they potentially take up less space than the large garden tubs that have been historically in homes. If you are a homeowner that wants to age in place, grow old in your home, a shower can be a safer alternative for you, Angie's List Founder Angie Hicks said.

When it comes to walk-in showers, the design options are nearly endless. They can be customized to fit just about any size, shape or lifestyle.

As far as options for the shower with the older generation the grab bars, maybe some corner seats, some hand held showers, things like that. Inside shampoo holders or corner shelves, we always have some type of shelving go into the unit. Frame-less shower doors so it's more glass, less metal. And then it's a matter of what to put on the shower walls whether it's tile with accent trim tile or go to the solid surface wall system, Updike said.

Updike says converting a standard five-foot tub into a shower typically starts around $4,500, but prices can quickly increase depending on the materials and options you choose.

If you want to go tub to a shower it's very simple to do, you just need to move plumbing a little bit for the new setup. Other than that they make shower bases the same size as bathtubs. We normally use solid surface bases instead of plastic or fiberglass. They are very heavy duty and come in a variety of colors to coordinate whether it's tile on the walls or solid surface wall panels, Updike said.

While nearly every bathtub can be converted into a shower, it's not always the best idea.

Replacing a tub for a shower is not for everyone. If you only have one bathroom in your house you want to be sure you keep a tub because what will end up happening is you'll hurt your resale value. Families with kids, they like tubs and without one it can hurt you, Hicks said.

Excerpt from:
Angie's List Report: Replacing the Tub

In the broader market, a 2014 bathroom-trends study by Houzz Inc., the online design and remodeling resource ( http://www.houzz.com), showed that 4 in 10 of the 7,645 homeowners who shared information about their renovations are choosing to forgo bathtubs, even in the master suite.

Homeowners under 45 are choosing multiple or rain-shower heads, the study showed, while those over 55 prefer handheld showers and sliding bars.

Frameless glass shower doors are in. Glass blocks are out.

Typical of the trend, said Nick Meli Jr., owner of Nick Meli Jr. Contracting in Center City, is a renovation he did this year for a condo owner in Independence Place on Washington Square. Client Robin Cooper, who owns a one-bedroom unit, wanted to replace her 25-year-old tub with a sleek, all-glass walk-in shower.

"It used to be you never did that, especially if there was only one tub," said Meli.

"We're seeing much more demand for walk-in showers," he added. Millennials "don't take baths; they want to shower, get in and get out. Soaking in a tub? No way, their homes are a place to sleep and then leave for work. Older people don't want tubs because they're 20 inches from the floor; they can't step over them. So we're really doing this for everyone."

A typical bathroom is about 5 feet by 10 feet, and most tubs are about 60 inches long. In condos, Meli said, 90 percent of his shower conversions/renovation jobs involve removing tubs. "That's how much of a difference in demand we've seen lately," he noted.

Cooper recalled that when she moved into the building, Philadelphia Realtors such as Allan Domb had a warning for owners in her building and others: "He said, 'Don't take the tub out of a one-bedroom. It won't hold its resale value, and it won't be as popular' as other units."

She added, "In a one-bedroom, it was taboo to remove the tub. You didn't touch it. Now, that's not the case at all."

Things started changing in the last few years. "Now, I probably get three calls a week to change over a tub to a shower. I did three estimates just this week," Meli said.
