My husband and I recently bought our first house and like typical first time buyers, we had to make a few compromises. The house is 4 bedrooms 2 1/2 with one of the bedrooms isolated off the kitchen that has the 1/2 bath in it. Not having a shower in there was the biggest con I saw with buying this house. It's labeled an 'in-law' suite but if we have guests who use that room, they will have to walk through the kitchen and great room to get to the full bath on the other side of the house that is in the middle of the other two guest bedrooms.
I really want to install shower stall and convert it to a 3/4 bathroom for guests but the foundation is a slab and there is no drain line or water line in the location where the shower would go. The sink and toilet are on the opposite wall. We would have to take up some of the closet space to install the shower but it would fit easily.
My question is really if this can even be done easily enough for a contractor and if the cost is worth it in the end. I'm afraid it would be really expensive and hard with having a slab.
Please advise!
Thank you.
