Does anyone know of a quality contractor to do a partial bathroom remodel? I have a shower tub combo I want to get rid of.

4 answers. Asked by Jordan on Apr. 8, 2016

We're going to remove the gross shower doors from our tub and do a shower curtain instead. All of the instructions I see say to unscrew the side railing, but ours doesn't have any screws! Should we be able to just remove the caulk and pop it off of the wall or is there something else we need to consider?
