Rental bathroom rehab

[Taylor K.]

Hi everyone, 

what kind of shower do you guys put in for a low end rental? There is currently a clawfoot tub that I plan on removing and putting a one piece tub/shower surround. What do you think? Is this the cheapest/best option for this kind of rental? Also, there is a window that would be in the middle of the shower, what would you do for that? Sorry for all the noob questions lol. Thanks in advance

What shape is the claw foot tub in?  Many view these things like gold.  You can attach a shower onto them by changing out the faucet to one that allows a riser attachment; if the tub is near a wall, the riser can be attached there for support and  attached to the shower rod.  

Even places such as Home Depot sell the entire set up.
