Walk-in shower vs tub — what’s best for Madison, WI homes?
Resale, safety, easy cleaning, and when to keep at least one tub in the house. Quick Q&A based on what local buyers ask for.

“Which is better for resale: shower or tub?”
Keep at least one tub somewhere in the home. Converting the primary bath to a walk-in shower is often a win—buyers value accessibility and easy cleaning.
“Are easy-clean walls lower maintenance than tile?”
Yes. No grout = less scrubbing and fewer long-term issues. We install both systems depending on look, timeline and budget.
“Can I do a hybrid approach?”
Common plan: keep a tub in a hall/secondary bath and convert the primary to a low-threshold shower with grab bar options.
Pro tip: Add a handheld and a built-in niche. Small cost—big daily convenience.
