If you are renovating your bathroom, you could start by converting your mobile home tub into a walk-in shower. While this is no small task, many mobile homeowners can attest to the improved transformation from an outdated tub to a sleek walk-in shower. Combine style and efficiency in your new and relaxing sanctuary.

Why Should You Update Your Tub Into a Walk-in Shower?

Many people update their mobile home tub to a walk-in shower for various reasons. Some choose this improvement for age or health reasons, while others want to customize their homes to match their style or design. The layout changes also often provide more floor space in the bathroom. Modernizing your mobile home can add value to your home if you do it well.

Consider the Steps

There are a few steps you should consider when addressing the unique requirements for shower stalls in mobile homes. For example, there are specific types of plumbing and wall reinforcements that are different from traditional homes that are required for a mobile home, which may require professionals to complete your redesign.

But if you decide to do it yourself, you should know some helpful tips and tricks.

Check the drain location in your mobile home and shower stall to see if they align. Determine your floor pitch; you want to slope your shower floor correctly toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. You can make this part easier by purchasing pre-sloped shower bases or using bases that have water drainage channels.

Your top priority is measuring the space carefully and accurately for a smooth installation process. Without proper installation, you risk leaks around seals, causing damage to areas under the shower and added costs if you damage supplies.
