        "text": "Replacing a shower with a bathtub depends on available bathroom footprint, drain placement, and plumbing configurations. A standard alcove bathtub typically requires an opening roughly sixty inches long and thirty to thirty-two inches wide. If your existing walk-in shower is smaller, adjacent walls or vanities may need modification to accommodate the tub. Additionally, showers often use two-inch drain lines, whereas standard tub drains are one-and-a-half inches, so the plumbing rough-in under the subfloor must be adapted to align with the new tub waste-and-overflow layout.",
