We have a huge round, solid marble bathtub in our master bath. Now that our stall shower is leaking, we thought perhaps we could convert our tub into a shower, but are unure whether you can get tall shower poles to replace the existing tub faucet. We would like to also put up a circular shower rod, but don't know if thos would be available either? We love the idea, but don't know if it's a feasible one. The tub is too big to bath in. Making it into a shower would be the ideal solution...

Yes you can add or make a shower for the tub but you will need access to the wall from the next room behind the wall or you will need to knock out a good portion of what will become your shower stall. We can help you with this or we can try to fix the leakm in the shower. Is it the shower pan that leaks , the drain of the mixing valve and supply lines?

I wonder if the Bath was all Marble, inaccessible from the other side, with few options, and I don't know if this is done or a bad/good idea, and you have an attic or access from above, but have shower head and valve in the ceiling? Any Opinions/ experience with this, anyone?

Hi Charlie...

They make circular shower rods... see link here:

Circular Shower Curtain Rods (http://www.showerrods.com/circ-Rod.html)

They can also make custom rods if you need that.

In terms of turning a tub faucet into a shower valve it shouldn't be too big a deal depending on the materials on the wall as mentioned above. All kinds of options here...

Back to you.

STRATMANDO... all kinds of options with ceiling shower heads, but none with shower valves in the ceiling that I know of. In areas that get really cold (like my area) it can also be difficult to install these and be 100% sure that the pipes won't freeze... ;) Kohler makes a FANTASTIC 4 head shower head for in ceiling applications... however, uses 10 GPM so usually needs increased hot water application. Recently, there is word that they are planning to try and outlaw these as they do not meet the code requirements of max. 2.5 GPM...
