If you have multiple bathrooms, converting one tub to a walk-in shower typically adds value by modernizing the space. However, we recommend keeping at least one bathtub in homes with multiple baths, especially in family-oriented neighborhoods. Walk-in showers are highly desirable for master bathrooms and can increase your home's appeal to many buyers.

A curbless (or zero-threshold) shower has no step or lip to step over - it's completely level with the bathroom floor. Benefits include easier accessibility (great for aging in place), a sleek modern look, and easier cleaning. Curbless showers require careful waterproofing and floor sloping for proper drainage, adding $2,000-$5,000 to the project cost, but many homeowners find the investment worthwhile.
