For homeowners dealing with aging bathtubs and deteriorating tile work, our latest bathtub to walk-in shower conversion in Greater Boston shows exactly what’s possible when quality meets craftsmanship.

The Problem: More Than Just an Old Bathtub

Our client’s original bathroom featured an outdated bathtub lined with small white subway tiles, many of which had missing grout. This led to multiple moisture issues, including:

• A leaking tub border that damaged the surrounding drywall
• A malfunctioning shower faucet
• Slow drainage due to undersized piping
• Water-damaged subflooring and rotting wall studs

Left unaddressed, these issues could have caused further structural damage and potential mold concerns.

The Solution: A High-Quality, Code-Compliant Remodel

At Sun Shore Construction, we don’t believe in shortcuts — that’s why we never rush to call it a “one-day remodel,” even if it only takes three. Instead, we deliver precision work with code compliance and lasting materials.

Here’s what we did:

✅ Drainage & Plumbing Upgrades

• Replaced the old 1.5″ drainpipe with a 2″ PVC pipe for faster drainage
• Installed a new air vent connection to meet Massachusetts building code
• Replaced the faulty shower faucet with a Kohler Chrome shower faucet kit featuring a diverter and handheld showerhead for added flexibility

✅ Structural Repairs

• Removed and replaced damaged wall studs
• Replaced the rotted subfloor to create a stable base for the new shower

✅ Modern Shower System Installation

• Installed a Solid Composite Stone Shower Pan Base from CASTICO
• Applied a professional-grade waterproofing barrier above the base
• Installed three seamless CASTICO Italian Beige shower wall panels for a sleek, grout-free finish
• Finished the look with a Chrome sliding shower door for easy access and a modern touch

Why It Matters

Many companies market “one-day bathroom remodeling” as a fast solution — but speed shouldn’t sacrifice quality. Our 3-day approach ensures that all underlying problems are fixed, not just hidden.

With durable materials like Solid Composite Stone, our clients benefit from:

• Low maintenance: No grout means no moldy joints to scrub
• Long-term durability: Panels are scratch-resistant, water-tight, and easy to clean
• A seamless aesthetic: Elegant and cohesive without the cracks or breaks of tile
