Our client expressed a strong preference for preserving the original aesthetic of their original tile installation while incorporating a safer and more functional bathing solution. Additionally, the client requested that the original drill holes be professionally refinished to maintain a clean appearance. To adhere to these requirements, a standard tub and shower valve kit was selected to ensure system compatibility while allowing for the refinishing of the pre-drilled holes in the existing tub deck.

The renovation involved the full demolition and removal of the existing bathtub and tile assembly. A Fairmont Safety Tub was installed to provide enhanced accessibility and safety compliance. The wall surfaces were once again made waterproof with Schluter products, and then tiled using large-format white wave ceramic tile for a modern textured look, complemented by a horizontal band of black miniature subway tile as an accent feature.
