        "text": "Yes, converting an existing bathtub into a walk-in shower is one of the most common bathroom remodeling projects. A standard tub footprint of 60 by 30 inches provides sufficient space for a comfortable, modern walk-in shower. During this conversion, the contractor removes the old tub surround, evaluates the underlying plumbing, and relocates the drain line, as shower drains require a larger diameter pipe than tub drains to manage water flow properly. New water-resistant wallboard or drywall repairs prepare the enclosure before waterproofing, custom tile installation, and fixture mounting take place.",
