What tiles to put when changing the bathtub for a shower

Many people consider changing their old bathtub for a shower. The showers with a screen and a shower tray are much more accessible, in addition to allowing us to make better use of space, and if we have given up using the bathtub, surely we will also save water.

However, when we do the renovation, we have to take into account which tiles we are going to put when changing the bathtub, if we want it to have a beautiful appearance and not spoil the bathroom decoration.

In this article we will show you which bathroom tiles are more convenient to put in the shower part when we have decided to change the bathtub.

What tiles to put when replacing the bathtub with a shower?

When doing the reform to change the bathtub for a shower, there is a free space on the walls that generally we cannot replace with the same tiles. Most likely, if the floor is old, they will no longer be manufactured.

In these cases, we have several options:

1. Use a coating that combines well with the tiles that already exist, leaving the lower half with some tiles and the upper half with the tiles that already exist. This can be done using large-sized tiles on the bottom, which match the shower tray.

2. Completely change the tiles in the shower area (from top to bottom). For that, we would reform the entire wall where the plate and the screen are located, which if it is between two walls will be easier.

3. Take the opportunity to completely renew the tiles throughout the bathroom so that it is uniform, although here we can also choose to put different tiles for the shower and the rest of the bathroom.
