    Converting shower to soaking tub
    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?

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