Are alcove shower/tubs still a good thing?

Although alcove showers may not be as stylish, you probably won’t regret choosing this option. Alcove shower and tub combinations are affordable and practical. They take up less space, and they are safer for people with mobility issues than soaking tubs. Alcove tubs offer plenty of storage space, and are easy to clean. If you frequently bathe kids or pets, it will be much easier to do so in an alcove tub because it isn’t as deep as a soaking tub. Overall, an alcove tub is the best choice for most people.

Especially if you have more than one bathroom, which most homes do today, it’s often advised to keep one with a tub/ shower combination, for the reasons mentioned above. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t have a stylish tile bath surround. Here are some tub/ shower combinations we have updated for homeowners in the Bellingham area.
