Mounting a Shower in an Existing Bath Tub

After a long day of hard work, I am looking forward to go home and enjoy my bath in my bath tub. I will fill it up with warm water and some passion fruit bubble bath. One evening, as I am enjoying my bath, I saw my bath tub shower, it is leaking. It looks like it needs to be replaced. What a night? I will need the bath tub shower the next day which is going to be a long day for me. I got four meetings to attend. Who will replace my bath tub shower? Who will buy the materials for me? I need a bath tub shower that will fit the color and style of my bath tub and my bath room. I love my bath room so much, that is why it needs to be perfect. I need to call my handyman. Unfortunately, he will be available Saturday, it is only Tuesday.

The next day, after my lunch meeting, I went to the nearest do-it-yourself store. I need to find the perfect bath tub shower. After an hour of searching, I saw a cute and fancy metallic silver bathtub shower. I told myself, this is my new bath tub shower. I instantly paid for it. While, paying for it, I thought, I can take a leave on Thursday to fix my own bath tub shower. It's been a while since the last time I fix my own bathroom. So, I research in the Internet some do-it-yourself strategies to fix my bath tub shower. Here is what I found.....

Mounting a permanent bath tub shower in an existing bath tub is a complicated job. Why is this job complicated? For a simple reason, it is a messy job. Any wallboard and tile should be taken away in order to gain contact to the water pipes so the shower can mount a water line from the bath tub faucet to the shower. Subsequent to the installations of the pipe wall should be reconstructed and protectively covered.

Before doing the whole procedure, it is advisable to turn off the water at the bath tub's water valves or the main valves for the house. How to mount the bath tub shower in a hassle-free method?

• Secure the bath tub- Before installing the bath tub shower, first cover the drain of the bath tub. Lay a thick cloth or bath tub liner over the bath tub to avoid falling debris from falling while mounting the bath tub shower. Remove the tiles and put a hole in the wall where you will put the bath tub shower.

• Disassemble the bath tub faucets; you will never need this when you already had installed the bath tub shower.

• Remove the spouts of the bath tub with an Allen wrench.

• Gain accessibility to the pipes using a hammer and chisel.

• Remove the faucet body and loosen the faucet from the water heater and cooler of the bath tub.

• Reconnect all the pipes.

• Finally, install and support the bath tub shower.

This is going to be a lot of hard work. On the second thought, I will wait for my favorite handyman. I don't want to get tired.
