- Full Bathroom Remodel
Introduction
This bathroom remodel for the Ingram family in Granger, Indiana is a perfect example of what happens when a space simply stops working for everyday life. Like many homeowners across Northwest Indiana, they had lived with an outdated layout for years. The bathroom had not been updated in over two decades, and while it technically functioned, it no longer supported comfort, style, or efficiency.
At Lori K Bath, we see this all the time. Homeowners don’t always realize how much better their space can feel until they finally decide to make a change. For the Ingram family, that moment came when they were ready to replace frustration with something that actually felt like an upgrade.

The Challenge
The existing bathroom layout created more problems than it solved. A small, cramped shower sat next to an oversized jacuzzi tub that was rarely used. The space felt crowded but also inefficient, which is a frustrating combination. On top of that, the flooring was carpet, which is not ideal for moisture-heavy environments like bathrooms.
Many homeowners in Northwest Indiana face this exact situation. Older layouts were not designed for how people use their bathrooms today. The result is wasted space, outdated materials, and daily inconvenience.
Main Challenges
- Inefficient layout that made the space feel both cramped and underutilized
- Large jacuzzi tub taking up valuable square footage without being used
- Carpet flooring creating long-term maintenance and moisture concerns
- Limited storage and poor flow throughout the bathroom
“For me, it’s like a vacation every morning because I’ve never had a shower or bathroom like this other than in a hotel!”

Good to Know
A lot of homeowners across Northwest Indiana hesitate to remove large tubs because they feel like they should keep them. In reality, if the tub isn’t being used, it’s just taking up space that could be better utilized. Replacing it with a walk-in shower often creates a more functional and enjoyable bathroom overall.
Our Solution
The Lori K Bath team approached this project by focusing on how the homeowners actually wanted to use their space. We removed the oversized jacuzzi tub entirely and replaced it with a spacious walk-in shower featuring a Santorini surround. This instantly opened up the room.
Matte black fixtures were added to create contrast and bring in a modern aesthetic. We also eliminated the carpet flooring and replaced it with materials designed specifically for durability and moisture resistance. With the improved layout, we were able to incorporate additional storage, making the bathroom more practical without sacrificing style.
