How to convert a TUB to a SHOWER!

[@rickb2267]

Been avoiding this conversion for a while now. Thanks for taking one for the team and figuring out all the little things irritations that can come up along the way! Great job!

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Thanks, CompSciGuy. I was tired of having a tub that no one used, and this new shower has really come in handy! Appreciate the feedback!

[@amynova6072]

Great and super helpful for a odd issue I am dealing with at a new home. Thanks!

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Glad to hear it! Good luck on your project!

[@BriaWolf]

My new apartment has this issue and I’m hoping I can do something similar without having to drill through the tile. So thanks for this! Hopefully I can do the diverter tub spout and just tacky the shower head to the tile lol.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Good luck. This isn't the most exotic solution but it'll work.

This is super helpful! Please be aware that the two affiliate amazon links in the description to the two different spouts are actually the same link. I think you meant to post the Delta U1010-PK for one of them.

Awesome job! Thanks for the teaching pops.

Thanks, Jorge!

That's something I want to do without the huge expense. Excellent.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Good luck with it!!!

Great job and Go Flyers!

Beautiful thanks for such a great tip. I just bought a home and I’m going to be doing the same work soon. Thanks for sharing buddy

[@FixEverythingYourself]

You're welcome! We went from having a bathroom that was pretty much useless to having a full shower! Good luck!

@@FixEverythingYourself great job on explaining everything. I would like to ask how much was this project and the time frame it took to complete it. Just for more understanding. But besides that. Very well explained video great job 👏

[@thelanda1091]

@@FixEverythingYourself I also became a great supporter of your channel... it’s worth watching you do your handy job.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Sure. I think the shower surround was about $300. Then the plywood and fasteners. Lastly, the new faucet and shower house. So probably about $400 or so. I think I finished the project over the course of a weekend (2 days). Can't remember exactly but it wasn't a monumental project, just a little time-consuming.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Thank you!

I'm trying to add a shower above my bathtub. The wall is already opened up. I need to know how to add the plumbing inside the wall. The tub plumbing has a place to add a vertical pipe for the shower. How do I connect a new copper pipe to a behind-the-wall "manifold" which currently only has a tub spout? I haven't yet found a KZbin video that shows how to add on the plumbing.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Sorry, that's a bit more complicated than the repair I do in the video. Don't think I could give you adequate instructions via text. I suggest looking for other YT videos if you haven't already. Good luck!

[@marisasheldon9875]

Hey I'm getting ready to do something similar. Could you let me know where you got the shower head and diverter spout

[@FixEverythingYourself]

There should be links to the exact items in the Description of the video.

[@israelnemitz8323]

Great job!

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Thanks

[@marselwatts6097]

Did you have to add any water resistant product to the walls? Or is it okay just to add the shower walls onto the painted walls?

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Nothing on the walls other than paint. I just attached the shower surround to that.

[@donhall1834]

Thank you brother 👍

[@FixEverythingYourself]

You're welcome!

[@sierralyndsay6986]

I’m in the process of doing something similar. The thing under my faucet is plastic ? Not sure what to do ?

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Which part is plastic?

[@sylvialove3375]

Hey what’s the name of the shower wall I’ve been trying to search them as I have the issue

[@FixEverythingYourself]

I bought it at Lowe's. It's the Sterling Ensemble Medley shower surround.

[@imjustachu]

@@FixEverythingYourself thank you! New York apartments are weird and have bathtubs separate from showers :( but this was very helpful!

[@FixEverythingYourself]

That's great, Art. I was able to convert a bathroom that no one wanted to use into a full bathroom/shower that everyone likes. I hope you're able to do something similar!

[@taehyunhwang2100]

[@wandat46]

Where did you get that bar from?

[@FixEverythingYourself]

It came with the shower head installation I bought. There are links to the products I used in the Description field of the video.

[@micheleantonello3187]

Where did you purchase the shower panels?

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Lowes

Mine seems glued to the wall, any tips? Lol

Whats glued?

Dang dude . Too many ads

[@taylorthompson7811]

I would have just ran copper through the wall and soldered it. It's not too hard to do, and looks more professional... but that will work I guess... Also, you didn't use any water proofing material. Plastic and fiberglass are prone to cracking easily, and without any water proofing, you run the risk of leaking water back on the drywall and causing a nasty mold situation. If you're doing it for secondary, guest bath, or the studio above your shop or something, its probably okay... I give you a C+ ... Would have been an B, BUT you used a Push-Connect or "shark bite" fitting on the faucet! (Which is another disaster waiting to happen), and you left unfinished edges around the surround... Again, I understand you're not a pro, and for a DIY job, its far from the worst that I've seen... wayyy far.. lol It's just a little rough around the edges... literally. The quality of your video is good and thankfully, doesn't have annoying music competing with your voice. Best of luck! Cheers.

[@FixEverythingYourself]

Thanks. Yes, this is an extra bathroom for teenagers to use. It's going to get trashed. And yes, finishing off the edges was one thing I left out but should've included. Thanks for the comment!
