Converting a bathtub to a walk-in shower is one of the most requested renovations in Barcelona, and for good reason: you gain space, safety and a more modern bathroom.
Benefits of switching to a shower
- More safety: flush, non-slip trays reduce the risk of falls, ideal for older people.
- More space and light: a shower visually opens up the bathroom.
- Easier to clean: fewer joints and corners.
- Water savings: a shower uses considerably less than a bath.
How much it costs and how long it takes
A quick swap from tub to shower tray (without a full renovation) can usually be done in 1–2 days. A more complete bathroom renovation —tiling, fixtures and screen— usually takes 10–15 days and costs between €4,000 and €9,000 depending on materials.
The key: waterproofing
The critical point of any tub-to-shower conversion is waterproofing the area properly before tiling. Doing it badly causes leaks to the neighbour below. That’s why it should be done by a skilled team.
