From Bath to Walk-In: The Smartest Small Bathroom Upgrade in Melbourne (2025)

Cramped. Outdated. Annoying to clean.

That’s how many Melbourne homeowners describe their old bathtubs. And in 2025, more of them are trading tubs for sleek, spacious walk-in showers.

Here’s why the move makes sense — and what to know if you're considering the switch.

1. Space You Can Actually Use

Removing the tub instantly opens up your floor plan. A walk-in shower with frameless glass makes even the tiniest bathrooms feel bigger. No more stepping over the edge. Just step in, breathe out, and enjoy your space.

2. Looks That Last

Walk-in showers look sharp. And done right, they stay sharp. Think large-format tiles, linear drains, and wall niches — no clunky edges or hard-to-clean corners.

Pair it with brushed tapware or matte black fixtures to create a bathroom that feels tailored, not tired.

3. Future-Proofing Your Home

As mobility becomes more important (for you or for future buyers), a walk-in shower ticks the box. It’s safer. Easier. And adds real value to your home.

4. It’s Easier Than You Think

At Bluestone Build Co., we handle the entire process — from safe tub removal to waterproofing and stunning tilework. No confusion. No delays. Just a clean, functional, modern result.
