    What code are you under? Im under upc, 2006 edition and this is what it says: the minimum required area and dimension shall not apply where an existing bathtub is replaced by a shower receptor having minimum overall dimensions of 30 inches(750mm) in width and 60 inches (1500mm) in length.

    Hope this helps.
