A full Independence bathroom remodel that replaced the original tub with a walk-in shower in the same footprint and updated the vanity, flooring, lighting, toilet, fixtures, and tile throughout the room.

Project Overview

A full Independence bathroom remodel centered on replacing the original tub with a walk-in shower in the same footprint, while updating the vanity, flooring, lighting, toilet, fixtures, and tile throughout the room. The original tub was completely removed and a new shower pan was installed in its place, finished with extensive wall tile, a recessed niche, and a sliding glass enclosure. The vanity and toilet stayed in roughly the same locations.

  • New shower pan in the original tub footprint

Before

After

Finished bathroom with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower where the tub used to be, light wall tile, gray floor tile, toilet, and dark vanity
New dark vanity with a white countertop, undermount sink, brushed nickel faucet, frameless mirror, three-light fixture, and gray mosaic tile band
Inside the new tiled shower with a mosaic accent band, recessed niche, handheld shower wand on a slide bar, and glass enclosure

What We Had to Solve

The existing tub area had to become a new shower while the general bathroom layout stayed intact, so the new shower pan was set in the same general footprint as the original tub.

The plumbing was adjusted slightly to support the new shower configuration.

The shower pan, extensive wall tile, recessed niche, sliding glass enclosure, vanity, flooring, lighting, toilet, and finished transitions were coordinated as one complete remodel.

The detailed tile work and accent/mosaic elements required careful layout and alignment across the shower and room walls.

The finished bathroom replaces the original tub with a tiled walk-in shower and pairs it with a new vanity, countertop, flooring, lighting, and toilet for a complete update of the room.
