Shower & Bathtub Installations

Shower and Bathtub Installation: What to Expect

To ensure reliability, durability and comfort, the process of installing a shower or bathtub requires professional skills. At Beezee Plumbing, we follow a clear sequence of work to ensure perfect results.

1. Consultation and material selection

Before the work begins, our experts will help you select the right plumbing fixtures based on your budget, bathroom style, and functional preferences. We work with different types of bathtubs and shower cabins:

• acrylic, cast iron and steel bathtubs - durable and comfortable solutions;
• classic shower cabins - a compact option for small bathrooms;
• walk-in showers - a stylish and comfortable option, especially for people with limited mobility.

To make your bathroom not only beautiful but also functional, we also select quality faucets, shower panels, glass partitions and waterproofing materials.

2. Plumbing and room preparation

Once materials are selected, we diagnose the current plumbing and drainage system. It is important to make sure that the pipes and drainage systems meet the requirements of the new installation. At this stage, we:

• check the water pressure and condition of the pipes;
• renew or replace worn out pipes;
• waterproof the floor and walls to prevent leaks.

If you are converting a bathtub to walk-in shower, we will dismantle the old structure, prepare the base and adjust the location of the drain.

3. Installation and final finishing

In the final stage, our craftsmen perform the installation with precision to the millimeter. We make sure that every detail is securely fastened, and the system works flawlessly. The process includes:

• installation and sealing of the shower cabin or bathtub;
• connection and testing of the water supply;
• installation of faucets, shower panels, doors and accessories;
• final sealing of the joints to protect them from moisture.

After the work is completed, a final test is carried out to make sure everything is working properly, and we leave behind a clean room.

Converting a Bathtub to a Walk-In Shower: A Modern Upgrade

Converting a bathtub into a shower cubicle is a modern solution that makes a bathroom more comfortable, stylish and functional. Such modernization creates a feeling of lightness and spaciousness, both in compact rooms and spacious bathrooms. Let's take a look at the main benefits.

1. Convenience and safety

Walk-in showers (without a high rim) are especially convenient for people with limited mobility, the elderly and families with children. Unlike a traditional bathtub, where you have to step over a high edge, you can easily walk into this shower enclosure without obstacles. This version of the shower cabin has a number of advantages.

• Easy access - the absence of high sides reduces the risk of falls.
• Ease of maintenance - smooth surfaces and a minimum number of joints reduce the accumulation of dirt and mold.
• Quick to use - no need to wait for the bath to fill.

2. Space-saving

If your bathroom is small, replacing your bathtub with a walk-in shower is a great space-saving option. Modern shower systems allow you to:

• use corner models to maximize the space available;
• install transparent glass partitions that visually expand the space;
• leave more storage space (e.g., built-in shelves or cupboards).

Thanks to this approach, even a small bathroom becomes more convenient and comfortable.

3. Modern style and personalized design

Walk-in showers look elegant and harmonize with any interior - from minimalism to luxurious classics. You can choose from:

• open or closed designs - with or without glass partitions;
• different finishes - tile, natural stone, mosaic;
• additional functions - a hydromassage, tropical shower, built-in lighting.

As a result, the bathroom acquires not only a modern look, but also a feeling of coziness and comfort.

4. Reduced water consumption 

• Shower cabin allows you to significantly reduce water consumption, which is especially important for families with a small budget. On average, taking a shower uses 2-3 times less water than filling a bathtub.

Transforming a bathtub into a shower cabin is not just a fashion trend, but a practical home improvement. You get comfort, safety, stylish design and space savings. At Beezee Plumbing, we perform these conversions quickly and professionally.
