Tub to Shower Conversion in Clayton: what to know
Tub to shower conversion in Clayton is common in the town's newer subdivisions, where primary baths often have a garden tub that rarely gets used. Converting it into a walk-in shower makes the room more useful day to day.
In hall baths, conversions usually replace a fiberglass tub-shower with a low-threshold shower in the same alcove. Keeping at least one tub in the house is wise if you have young children or plan to sell to a family.
Moving the drain and installing a shower valve is a plumbing change that generally needs a permit. In Clayton that may come from the town or from Johnston County, depending on where your home is.
