Bath Tub with Shower Enclosure
Tub In Shower Enclosure
Adding a shower enclosure to your tub is an ideal solution for homeowners who want to enjoy the convenience of a bathtub but also need a space for taking a shower.
This conversion requires little more than the installation of a shower surround kit over the tub’s existing frame. It can be a less complex project than removing the tub completely, but still takes some work to install.

With a custom shower, you get to choose your stall dimensions, number of fixed panels, angles at which panels meet adjoining surfaces, and more. You can even customize your hardware styles, hardware finish, and glass patterns or even etching.
Size
Bathtubs come in a variety of sizes, from short, shallow tubs to long, luxurious soakers. The size of your bathtub can make or break the comfort and functionality of your bathroom.
To ensure you get the right tub, it’s important to measure your bathroom and designated tub area before buying. If you buy the wrong tub, it can be frustrating and costly.
Likewise, the size of your shower enclosure can make a big difference to the overall look and function of your bathroom. For instance, a large enclosure can block the view of your sink or toilet so it’s better to have one that is smaller in size.
There are many different types of shower enclosures available, so it’s best to find the perfect one for your bathroom. Depending on your needs, you can opt for a glass block enclosure or a rectangular shower enclosure. These have a sleek look and can be customized to suit your bathroom’s style.

Style
There are plenty of different style options for bathtubs with shower enclosures. Choosing one can be challenging, but it should come down to your personal tastes and the layout of your bathroom.
Whether you are remodeling your entire bathroom or just want to replace an outdated tub, consider the overall design of the space. It should fit the style of your home and be attractive to future buyers.
A large glass shower enclosure can be a great option for converting a tub/shower combo into a more walk-in space. It can be installed on the wall, a half wall, or a standalone unit.
Maintenance
Keeping a bathtub with a shower enclosure in good condition requires a bit of maintenance. This can be done by cleaning it and repairing leaks.
Clean your tub and tiles regularly, especially after every use. This will help prevent the buildup of mold and mildew.
Maintain the caulk and sealant around your tub or shower yearly to help keep water out. Leaks are common sources of water damage and can increase your water bill.
Aside from this, it is recommended to rinse your shower after each use to remove soap, limescale, and body lotion residue. This will protect the glass from becoming etched.
In addition, a squeegee is also useful for removing water drops and limescale after each shower. It also makes cleaning the glass easier and less tedious
Why Hinged Shower Doors
Opting for a custom hinged glass shower door can elevate the style of any modern bathroom, especially those with curved designs. Additionally, they are a practical solution for older homes that require bathroom modifications to accommodate elderly or disabled family members.
