        "text": "Yes, tub-to-shower conversions are among the most common bathroom projects. Removing an alcove bathtub creates space for a spacious walk-in shower with custom tile, built-in niches, and frameless glass doors. The main tradeoff involves resale value: keeping at least one functioning bathtub elsewhere in the house is generally recommended for families with small children. The conversion requires adapting the existing drain size, adjusting rough-in plumbing, and installing reliable shower pan waterproofing before laying floor and wall tile.",
