Change the Bathroom to Fit the Way You Live Now
A bathroom conversion starts with a simple question: does the current bathing area still make sense for your household? Maybe the tub has gone mostly unused while everyone showers. Maybe stepping over the side has become less comfortable. Or perhaps you want to keep a bathtub because young children use it regularly or soaking is part of your routine.
Clemens Home Solutions helps homeowners throughout East Central Indiana rethink that space based on how they actually use their bathrooms. Whether that means replacing a tub with a shower, keeping an alcove tub, or choosing a different bathing configuration, we start with function first and design around it.
Decide Whether a Tub or Shower Fits Your Routine Better
Before choosing a new fixture, think about who uses the bathroom and how often. If the tub is used several times a week for children or soaking, keeping one may still make sense. If it rarely gets filled and everyone prefers showers, that space may be more useful as a dedicated shower.
Entry and exit are worth considering too. A traditional tub requires stepping over a raised side, which can become more difficult with stiff joints, limited balance, or changing mobility. If accessibility is part of the decision, our accessible bathroom remodeling services offer more detail on those options.
Available floor space also matters. Some bathrooms comfortably support both a tub and a separate shower, while others work better when one bathing fixture gets the available space.
Replace an Underused Bathtub With a Shower
If your household showers far more often than it bathes, a tub-to-shower conversion can make the existing footprint more useful. The old tub area becomes a dedicated shower designed around your preferences. Depending on the bathroom and configuration, options can include:
Zero-threshold or low-profile shower bases
Solid-surface shower walls
Glass doors or curtain rods
Built-in shelves and storage
Fixed or fold-up seating
Grab bars and grab-bar shelves
Coordinating shower fixtures

When Keeping or Adding a Bathtub Makes Sense
A bathtub still earns its space in many homes. Families with young children may rely on one several nights a week. Some homeowners enjoy soaking and don’t want to give that up. Others prefer keeping a tub in one bathroom while converting another to a shower.
We offer acrylic alcove tubs in left-drain and right-drain configurations that fit traditional bathroom layouts. For bathrooms with more open floor space, freestanding acrylic tubs are another option. Available in gloss-white and matte-white finishes, they create a more prominent design feature and can be paired with coordinating freestanding fillers.
Compare a Shower, Alcove Tub, and Freestanding Tub
There is no universally better choice. The right option depends on your space and the way your household uses it.
Daily Use
Showers typically make sense for households that primarily shower, while tubs remain useful for soaking and bathing children.
Entry and Exit
Low-profile and zero-threshold showers reduce the height you have to step over compared with an alcove tub.
Floor Space
A shower can often fit within an existing tub footprint. Freestanding tubs generally require more open space around them.
Enclosure
Showers can use glass doors, curtain rods, or open configurations. Alcove tubs commonly use curtains or glass panels.
Appearance
Showers can make a bathroom feel more open, while a freestanding tub becomes a stronger visual focal point.
Future Mobility
A shower with a lower entry, seating, and grab bars can adapt more easily as mobility needs change.
Consider Whether the Rest of the Bathroom Needs Attention
Changing the bathing area sometimes makes other outdated parts of the room more noticeable. The flooring may no longer coordinate with the new shower. The vanity may feel undersized. Lighting that seemed acceptable before may make the remodeled area feel disconnected from the rest of the room.
A bathroom conversion doesn’t require a full-room remodel, but you can coordinate additional updates at the same time if it makes sense for your project. Our broader bathroom remodeling services can include vanities with soft-close drawers, quartz or solid-surface countertops, sinks, faucets, mirrors, LED lighting, waterproof flooring, chair-height toilets, and coordinating accessories.
Make the New and Existing Finishes Work Together
A successful bathroom conversion should feel like part of the room, not like one new fixture was dropped into an older space. We help homeowners coordinate shower walls, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, mirrors, hardware, and lighting so the materials complement one another.
Available design directions include warm wood tones, white, grey, navy, and green cabinetry, along with marble-inspired solid surfaces, brushed metal hardware, matte black accents, and other coordinating finishes.
You can compare many of these materials in person at our showroom at 2222 S. Madison Street in Muncie.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Conversions
It may be. If the tub is used only occasionally while most of the household showers regularly, converting that space can make the bathroom work better day to day. Your priorities, available bathrooms, and future plans for the home should all factor into the decision.
Not necessarily. Many conversions can work within the existing bathing-area footprint, but plumbing or framing changes may be needed depending on the layout and new configuration. We evaluate the existing bathroom before finalizing the plan.
An alcove tub fits between three walls and typically uses a curtain rod or glass enclosure. A freestanding tub sits independently in the room and usually requires more open floor space around it.

Customer Reviews
Clemens Home Solutions did an amazing job on our Gutters this evening. Luis and his team were extremely fast, Knowledgeable, and very polite with their profession. It was a very cold day this evening and his team did fantastic with the elements. I would gladly refer anyone to Clemens Home Solutions for their next home improvement project.
Clemens was absolutely perfect to work with. I received phone calls with updates on the project weekly which actually got completed earlier than expected. The finished job was fantastic, the work was excellent and the new door is of great quality.
I've known I needed to replace large windows in my living room for years. Clemens Home Solutions made that happen and I am so happy with how everything looks and feels! Everyone on the team from sales to installation made me feel like a valued customer. I highly recommend Clemens Home Solutions!
I am very happy with my new gutters. No more leaking at the corners where my old gutters met. i probably got in the way of Luis and his team with all my questions and curiosity of how the gutters were made on sight but both of them were very helpful and friendly and didn't seem to mind me interrupting their work. I've never had a company stay in touch with me before the project was started like they did. I highly recommend them!!
Overall 5 star experience. Our project had some challenges and we had to change plans a few times and someone from Clemens was always in contact with us. The work was completed in a day and they communicated with us during the project. They cleaned up, were super nice, and the windows look wonderful!
Clemens did a great job of replacing my gutters. Eric Logan was a great sales person, no high pressure, just information. Luis and his team did the replacement and were quick and very good! Luis made sure he followed up with me and that I was happy. I asked for a longer down spout on my front porch and Luis came and replaced it right away!! Thank you. They were great to work with.
Extremely happy with the service and communication! Had all new windows and a front door installed . The crew was super friendly , and explained things as they installed . They didn’t mind me being in their way! They were all very professional, and did a great job cleaning up afterwards!
I recently had my gutters, soffit and fascia done by Clemens. Austin and his crew was amazing . They were professional and kept me updated during the process and their follow-up after the project was even more appreciated. I recommend this great company to anyone.
Clemens did a great job. They are very honest and kept us well informed on the progress of the windows. The installers were very delightful and did a great job installing the windows. They kept the work area very clean and were respectful of our house. I would highly recommend Clemens to anyone looking to replace windows!
