Tub-to-Shower Conversion: Is It Worth It?

Many Southern Minnesota homeowners are trading their unused bathtubs for spacious, walk-in showers. Here's why a tub-to-shower conversion is one of the smartest bathroom upgrades you can make.

Why Convert a Tub to a Shower?

• More usable space: A walk-in shower feels larger and is easier to enter.
• Accessibility: No stepping over a tub wall — safer for all ages.
• Modern appeal: Walk-in showers are a top feature buyers look for.
• Easier cleaning: A grout-free Onyx shower wipes clean in minutes.

Is It Worth the Cost?

Tub-to-shower conversions typically fall in the same range as a shower replacement. Because the existing plumbing is usually reused, the project is often straightforward — and an Onyx system can be installed in about a day.

Will It Hurt Resale Value?

As long as your home has at least one other bathtub, converting a master-bath tub to a shower generally adds value. Most buyers today prefer a large walk-in shower in the primary bathroom.
