# From a tub. Toward a shower concept.

Explore replacing a bathtub with a walk-in shower on your bathroom photo. Start with the visual direction before investigating the installation.

**Audience:** For visual exploration from your own references

[Try tub to shower](/try/tub-to-shower/start)

## How it works

Tub to shower, from your own image.

1. **Bring your references** — Upload a clear photo of the tub and surrounding walls. Describe what should stay, including the vanity, window, and toilet.
2. **Describe the direction** — Specify shower tile, glazing, fittings, and the desired threshold appearance. Keep the concept within the existing tub area in the brief.
3. **Review the concept** — Check the appearance, then investigate drainage, waterproofing, floor build-up, ventilation, and access with qualified installers.

## Example prompt

```
Replace only the bathtub with a walk-in shower concept occupying the same exact footprint: pale stone-look shower tray, one clear fixed glass screen and simple wall-mounted brushed nickel shower fittings. Keep the existing cream wall tiles, frosted window, left vanity, floor outside the tub area, room proportions, camera and light unchanged. This is a visual concept, not a claim of verified installation feasibility.
```

## From reference to concept.

A generated source, its edited result, and a closer look at the same result. Use the comparison above to inspect what changed.

- **Existing bathtub** — The generated source image used as the edit reference.
- **Shower conversion concept** — The result of the task-specific edit, using that source image.
- **Glass and shower tray** — A tightly framed detail from this result, shown at three times the scale of the full view.

## Benefits

- **Bring your references** — Upload a clear photo of the tub and surrounding walls. Describe what should stay, including the vanity, window, and toilet.
- **Describe the direction** — Specify shower tile, glazing, fittings, and the desired threshold appearance. Keep the concept within the existing tub area in the brief.
- **Review the concept** — Check the appearance, then investigate drainage, waterproofing, floor build-up, ventilation, and access with qualified installers.

## Tips

- Upload a clear photo of the tub and surrounding walls. Describe what should stay, including the vanity, window, and toilet.
- Specify shower tile, glazing, fittings, and the desired threshold appearance. Keep the concept within the existing tub area in the brief.
- Check the appearance, then investigate drainage, waterproofing, floor build-up, ventilation, and access with qualified installers.

## Tub to shower questions

### What should I upload for tub to shower?

Upload a clear photo of the tub and surrounding walls. Describe what should stay, including the vanity, window, and toilet.

### Can a generated image prove a level-access shower is possible?

No. Drainage falls, floor structure, waterproofing, and access must be assessed on site. A convincing image is not evidence that a particular threshold or shower arrangement can be installed.

### How should I check the result?

Check the appearance, then investigate drainage, waterproofing, floor build-up, ventilation, and access with qualified installers.

### Can I refine the concept in the same conversation?

Yes. Tell Bob which parts to change and which to retain. Refer back to your original images and review each new concept for unintended changes.

Shower concepts do not verify drainage, floor structure, waterproofing, accessible entry, glazing safety, or plumbing feasibility. Get an on-site assessment before building.
