It looks nicely done and is still neutral and completely up to date. Why change it when you can shower in the tub, even if you don't use the tub? I wouldn't touch it. You could look into adding a glass panel if you don't like the shower curtain.

Being senior citizens, We found it hard to get in and out of the tub so we took our tub out and made a low curb walk in shower the same dimensions as the tub. We purchased a fiberglass shower unit the same size as our tub and works perfectly. We only had to patch the tile around the sides and in front of the shower floor. We used a border tile with same colors as the rest of our wall tile and it looks great. We put grab bars up and it works very nicely for us Don't miss the tub at all.

Have you looked for tile to match?

Don't buy that stupid white subway tile. Makes your house looks like it designed to sell. Bland.

I replaced my tub/shower combination with a walk in shower that followed the footprint of the tub and I am SO GLAD.

What are you trying to accomplish and what is your budget?

In my experience, building a tiled shower properly is expensive - probably the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel. It is hard to tell from your photos but it doesn't appear as if there is significant tile in the rest of the bathroom.

The expense of having the appropriate tradespeople work on just the shower and attempt to make it blend in with the rest of the walls doesn't seem to be much of a cost savings. My bathrooms are relatively small urban bathrooms as well. Once they are in your space, the additional cost for redoing the rest of the room isn't that great - especially since you wouldn't be forced to compromise in terms of trying to make it work. The cost for the additional tiles is also not going to be that high.

Depending on your area, the cost of the shower could be $10,000 when one adds in everything that is necessary - fixtures, changing the drain, framing the shower, plumbing etc.

If that bath enclosure is original to the 1920's home - do not touch it. The installation method used was a "mud job" and it's the best money can buy. It would cost big bucks to duplicate it today, if you can find a Pro who would do it in a residential setting. (Most mud jobs are reserved for commercial work - gyms etc.)

White ceramic subway tile is ~$4/sf or less at Home Depot. Retile the whole surround, otherwise keep what you have.

@chiflipper. OP wrote that the bathroom is relatively new as it is a 7 year old bathroom in an older home. It was probably remodeled by the prior owner.

The issue is whether it makes economic sense to built a new shower and attempt to leave the rest of the relatively new bathroom as is. I would think the cost of doing a new tiled shower is high as compared to the rest of the tile work so it would probably make little economic sense to spend a lot of money for a new tiled shower and attempt to work to work it around the rest of the tile work since replacing those st the same time would be relatively inexpensive as compared to the shower itself.

Unless there is medical reason for needing a walk-in shower, a fiber glass cheaper solution would be a downgrade to the existing tiled bathroom enclosure. At least in my opinion.

Thank you all for your suggestions. Fyi- I have found the same white subway tile, which I love. Realizing it will be off as it will be a different lot I will redo the 3 walls & insert a picture frame on the 1 wall with herringbone inside to refocus the eyes & bring down the height a bit. Glass doors... microcrystalline river rock on the floor (won’t absorb water or stain). Yes...we’re getting older & want the safety of the walk-in shower. . . & it’s the main bath so it needs to be beautiful. I’m very happy with my decisions. Thank you.

You can't partially tile anyway -- the floor and walls need a continuous waterproofing system. Glad you found something you like!
