[QUOTE="08mojo, post: 15926446, member: 132915"] That would be a huge upgrade--and not cheap! Is the bathroom on a slab? If not, is it one the first floor of the house? Crawl space or basement? To do a stepless shower, you have to sink the floor below the tile, or raise all of the floor outside of the shower area. This is a moderate to extremely difficult job depending on the location of the bathroom. We chose to get rid of the big tub in our master bathroom and install a much larger shower. The old shower was 30" x 34". The new shower is 80" x 40". To make potential buyers forget about a tub, we went over the top with the shower: large built in bench, frameless glass, 4 shower operations: rain shower, regular shower, hand shower and 4x body sprays. Each of the 4 different heads can be operated by their own valve (not a diverter valve, so each is independent of each other). That said it's not cheap. We have ~$2500 in the shower valves and trim alone. The quote for the frameless glass is $3k, etc... I hope the increase in home value is enough to cover the renovation. I'm doing the work by myself and have a long way to go: during demo (corner tub used to be under the window) [ATTACH=full]1492851[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1492852[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1492853[/ATTACH] Progress: [ATTACH=full]1492854[/ATTACH] This is when things started getting real. We are relocating everything, so all the supply and drain lines had to be redone which meant the subfloor had to be removed. [ATTACH=full]1492855[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1492856[/ATTACH] I need to upload the newer progress photos. The toilet 'room' has been framed in, the window has been removed and replaced with two windows. The shower pan has been completed and the final plumbing for all of the shower controls has been started. All going well, I hope to start tiling within the next week. [/QUOTE]
