We Dont Want the Roman Tub...but what do we do??

9 years ago

We bought this lovely house with a huge master bathroom, but we want to make some changes --first of all, we cant stand this giant roman tub thats taking so much (valueable) space! We would like a Finlandia sauna instead, but there are windows in the corner-- does anybody have suggestions on how to go about ?

You'll have to fill in the windows and vapor proof the whole area. That's gonna involve quite a bit of deconstruction and reconstruction. Cheaper if you are on crawlspace and can easily match the exterior siding than if you are on slab and can't match the siding, but not inexpensive in either case. Takes the average bath remodel cost of 16K to about double. Talk to some local contractors.
