Tub to Walk-In Shower Remodel in Magnolia, Seattle
Cast Iron Tub Out, Custom Walk-In Shower In
Elevated Renovations Inc remodeled a bathroom for a homeowner in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle, WA. The homeowner wanted to get rid of an old cast iron bathtub, so we replaced it with a tiled walk-in shower and a custom glass door, then refreshed the room with new paint and all new fixtures.
The result is a bright, easy-to-use bathroom, finished in about 2–3 weeks.

What We Did
Here's how we converted this Magnolia bathroom, step by step:
Cast Iron Tub Removed
We took out the old cast iron bathtub to make room for a walk-in shower that's easier to step into every day.
Two Layers of Waterproofing
Before any tile went up, we applied two layers of waterproofing behind the new shower to help protect the walls from moisture.
New Tile & a Custom Glass Door
We tiled the new shower and installed a brand-new custom glass shower door for a clean, open look.
Fresh Paint & All New Fixtures
We finished the room with a fresh coat of paint and installed all new fixtures throughout the bathroom.
Why Switch From a Tub to a Walk-In Shower?
A walk-in shower is easier to step into, simpler to clean and can make a bathroom feel more open. If you rarely use your tub, swapping it for a shower is one of the most practical bathroom upgrades you can make.
