Converting shower to soaking tub

CJAdams · #1 Feb 15, 2006, 08:16 PM

I have 2 bathrooms, both with showers, and no room to convert either one into a tub. So I thought about building up the wall on one and converting it to a soaking tub. The shower is square with 3-sides wall, ceramic tile. The new wall would be built onto the front with maybe a low seat added inside and a step added outside. Any advice? How would I plug the shower drain?

Repost this in the plumbing section. Speedball should be able to answer this.

the existing walls were build as water resistance( not water proof)), those walls will not able to hold as a tub
