My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Jacuzzi tub with shower

9 years ago

We have a Jacuzzi tub in the master bath and enjoy it but would like to add a shower. There is no room for a separate shower so we would like to integrate it with the tub already there. I was thinking we could add a shower head and shower curtain but wouldn't we also have to seal the wall or tile it?




Ideas?

    All three walls will have to be tiled and the ceiling as well if you are intending to use as a shower. You will also need the valve etc ...consult with a plumber.

    Make sure you are using fiberboard or backerboard for the walls and ceiling for moisture etc. The existing walls will have to be removed and changed to Fiderboard is not already done. good luck!
