DFW local note
Many DFW homeowners convert tubs to showers for easier access, aging-in-place, rental appeal, or a cleaner modern bathroom. In homes with only one tub, think carefully before removing it because some buyers still want a bathtub.
When this project is worth it
A tub-to-shower conversion can be worth it when the tub is unused, the bathroom feels dated, entry is difficult, or a walk-in shower would improve daily life.
