For this Delphos, Ohio homeowner, the goal wasn’t to replace the family bathroom with a walk-in shower installation. It was to keep the tub while giving the space a dramatic style and functionality upgrade.
The existing one-piece fiberglass tub/shower had become dated and difficult to keep looking clean. The homeowner wanted the appearance and texture of a tiled bathroom without the grout, maintenance, and upkeep that come with traditional tile.
Otterly Baths created the ideal solution: a new deep tub paired with a low-maintenance, tile-look wall surround, modern matte black fixtures, and practical safety features designed for everyday family use.

Otterly Baths replaced the existing fiberglass unit with a new 60″ x 32″ x 19″ white bathtub and surrounded it with an Othello Cobblestone wall system.
The result combines the traditional functionality of a bathtub with the modern appearance of a custom-tiled bathroom—without the maintenance associated with grout.
While walk-in showers are an excellent solution for many bathroom remodeling projects, they aren’t necessarily the right choice for every household.
For a family bathroom, a tub can be particularly practical for:
The new 19-inch-deep tub provides comfortable soaking while maintaining a practical step-over height.
One of the homeowner’s biggest priorities was achieving the appearance of a tiled bathroom without actually installing traditional tile.
The solution was the Othello wall surround in a Cobblestone pattern.
The molded surround provides the visual depth and texture of a tiled wall while eliminating many of the maintenance concerns associated with traditional tile and grout.
The homeowner gets the aesthetic of a custom tile installation without turning bathroom cleaning into a constant project.
Keeping the bathtub didn’t mean sacrificing safety.
Otterly Baths incorporated several features designed to make the bathroom safer and more comfortable for the entire family.
An 18-inch Moen Voss grab bar provides a secure handhold for getting into and out of the tub.
The new Posi-Temp pressure-balancing valve helps protect against sudden changes in water temperature.
This is especially valuable in a family bathroom where water usage elsewhere in the home could otherwise cause unexpected temperature fluctuations.
Two acrylic shelves were installed to provide dedicated storage for shampoo, soap, and other bathing essentials.
This keeps products organized and prevents the tub deck from becoming cluttered.
To complete the updated design, the bathroom received a coordinated matte black fixture package.
The remodel includes:
The matte black finish creates a contemporary contrast against the white tub and textured Cobblestone wall surround.
The existing toilet, vanity, vanity top, flooring, and lighting were retained, while painting was handled separately by the homeowner.

Together, we’ll choose your wall style, colors, fixtures, and layout to create a beautiful wet space that sets the tone for everything else. It’s a simpler, more confident way to begin your bathroom transformation.
Once your new bath or shower design is established, the rest of the bathroom becomes much easier to plan. Flooring, vanities, mirrors, lighting, and finishing touches can all be selected to complement the style you’ve already chosen.
