The Legend of the Porcelain Hurdle
In Avon, Indiana, we’re famous for a few things: the beautiful Town Hall Park, the legend of the Haunted Bridge, and the absolute gauntlet of traffic that is Rockville Road during rush hour. But for Greg, the most treacherous journey wasn’t navigating US-36—it was trying to get into his own bathtub.
As you can see in the “Before” photo, Greg was dealing with a classic “Jetted Tub Jungle.” It was a beige-on-beige fortress with walls so high they required a base camp and a Sherpa just to enter. The jets, while fancy in 1998, had become more of a cleaning nightmare than a spa luxury. Toss in a tension rod that had a 50/50 chance of collapsing every Tuesday, and Greg’s morning routine felt less like a refresh and more like an episode of American Ninja Warrior: Geriatric Edition.
The Challenge: Summiting Mount Bathtub
The main issue? Greg’s bathroom was stuck in a time warp. The high-entry tub was a tripping hazard waiting to happen—more dangerous than a black ice patch on a January morning in Indy. The corner shower caddy was doing its best to hold onto three bottles of 3-in-1 shampoo, but the vibe was definitely “cluttered dorm room” rather than “suburban sanctuary.” Greg needed a way to get clean without a triple-jump maneuver.
The Solution: The Superior Smooth-Sailing Shower
The crew from Superior Bath System rolled in, assessed the situation, and decided that the jetted tub had to go the way of the old Avon Go-Kart track—into the history books.
We performed a tactical tub-to-shower conversion that would make a Prestwick Country Club locker room jealous:
- The Demolition: We cleared out the “Beige Fortress” and replaced it with a low-entry, sleek acrylic base.
- Safety First: We installed strategically placed, heavy-duty grab bars. Now, Greg has more handles to hold onto than a frantic driver on the 465 loop.
- The Glass Act: We ditched the flimsy curtain for high-end sliding glass doors. They glide smoother than a professional skater at the local rink.
- Custom Storage: Integrated shelving was built right into the surround, giving Greg’s soap a permanent home that doesn’t involve a rusty metal pole.
The Outcome: A Clear View of Comfort
Look at that “After” photo. It’s like the bathroom finally took a deep breath. The space feels larger, brighter, and infinitely more sophisticated.
Greg no longer has to perform a high-hurdle stretch just to wash his hair. He’s got a handheld showerhead for precision rinsing and a seat for those mornings when the Indiana humidity makes you move a little slower. The result is a clean, modern aesthetic that’s as refreshing as a crisp fall day at the Hendricks County 4-H Fair.
Project Summary
- The Challenge: An outdated, high-walled jetted tub that was difficult to access and even harder to keep clean.
- The Solution: A full tub-to-shower conversion by Superior Bath System, featuring a low-profile base, integrated safety bars, and premium sliding glass doors.
- The Outcome: A safer, more accessible, and visually stunning bathroom that increases home value and eliminates the daily “tub-climbing” workout.
