Why a Walk-in Shower WITH a Tub May Be the Right Option for You

Ready to take your bathroom to the next level? Consider putting your bathtub inside your shower. Yes, really.

A tub within a walk-in shower, sometimes called a wet room, is different from a standard tub-shower combo. It is less common, but it always impresses and can save valuable space. It works especially well in transitional and contemporary bathrooms while staying simple and elegant.

It Saves Space

Separating the wet area from the vanity area opens up floor space and makes any bathroom feel larger. This design is best for medium and large bathrooms, but smaller bathrooms can use the same wet and dry idea with a classic tub-shower combo.

Wondering whether a tub or walk-in shower is better? With this design, you do not have to choose. A freestanding or built-in tub inside the shower area creates a luxurious look. In larger bathrooms, pairing the tub and shower can free up space for a walk-in closet or extra cabinetry.

Convenient for Everyone

• Kids can splash all they want while glass panels or curbs keep water contained.
• Pets are easier to bathe, and their shake-offs stay in the wet zone.
• Adults can choose a shower or a soak, with extra room for shaving or helping others bathe.
• Cleaning is easier since you can spray down the entire area without soaking the rest of the room.

A dedicated wet area also protects your vanity and floors from water damage.

Endless Design Options

Choose from freestanding tubs, Japanese soaking tubs, clawfoot tubs and more. Consider the layout and square footage where the tub will go.

• Leave enough room around a freestanding tub for easy cleaning, or choose a built-in look. Quartz tub decks are popular and easy to clean.
• Glass dividers separate the space without making the room feel smaller.
• A gently sloped floor carries water to the drain so the rest of the bathroom stays dry.
• Freestanding tub fillers add a modern or classic touch that never goes out of style.

A designer can help you choose the right tub size for your space.

Luxury at Your Fingertips

A shower and tub wet room has real wow factor and shows off your style. It meets everyone's needs, whether they prefer a quick shower or a long soak.
