San Antonio Tub-to-Shower Remodel With a Mosaic Niche

From an Alcove Tub to a Glass-Enclosed Shower

GTex General Contracting transformed this San Antonio bathroom by replacing the existing tub with a tiled walk-in shower. The before-and-after image shows the change from a tub-and-shower combination with a curtain rod to a glass-enclosed shower with a recessed mosaic niche.

The completed project was featured on GTex’s Google Business Profile. The project post identifies large-format tile, the custom mosaic niche, frameless glass, updated fixtures and new flooring as part of the transformation.

What Changed in This Bathroom

  • Bathing area: the existing alcove tub was replaced with a walk-in shower.
  • Wall finish: large-format light tile gives the shower a different scale from the smaller tile in the original tub surround.
  • Storage: a recessed niche adds a designated place for shower products.
  • Enclosure: frameless glass defines the shower area.
  • Fixtures and floor: the finished image shows warm metallic fittings, a handheld shower and a mosaic shower floor; GTex’s project post also documents new bathroom flooring.

How the Details Work Together

The mosaic pattern in the niche echoes the smaller tile on the shower floor, while the larger wall tile gives the surrounding surfaces a quieter appearance. The glass makes those details visible from the rest of the bathroom.

This shower has a visible raised threshold. It is a walk-in shower, and the photograph should not be read as an example of a curbless entry. The right entry, drain and enclosure arrangement for another bathroom depends on its existing conditions and the owner’s needs.

Planning Your Own Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Start with how you use the existing tub and what you want the replacement shower to improve. Discuss the shower opening, storage, fixture placement, floor tile, glass and access for cleaning.
