I want to convert the tub area to a walk in shower. Since I plan on tiling the floor anyway how difficult/expensive would it be to just tile the whole room AND shower area and leave the drain where it is (sort of making the whole room a shower)?

It's a small room with only a toilet and shower in there.

Sally:eek:

As you can see I am in Japan, the bathroom walls are kind of an interlocking plastic, with interlocking ceiling to the walls and the walls to the floor to keep water from leaking behind, they are sealed too, everything is in one room and we do not use a shower curtain, the rooms are already small but the curtain would make it feel so much smaller. See if there is a prefab type room available, probably custom fit, tile is high maintenance and the grout gets moldy.

I'm not sure where I can buy a "room". I like the idea though. I agree that tile is high maintenance.
