moving a shower to where garden tub is

9 years ago

how hard would it be to move a large two person shower to where a garden tub is in same bathroom. Shower is on one side of room and tub is on other side. But tub has a center drain just like the shower. Would like to put a double vanity where shower is now.

Showers are generally wider than most tubs and require a 2 inch drain where the tub may have a 1 1/2 inch.
Are the drain pipes for the current shower, and tub, readily accessible? i.e. unfinished basement below
It's doable, regardless. I recommend you get bids from at least three contractors.
