My husband and I are diy renovating the bathroom in our 1920’s house. Right now, we have the typical bathtub/shower wall setup. We want to restore the bathroom to an original 1920’s style with geometric white tiles, white pedestal sink, and by putting in a clawfoot tub. But, we also want to use the tub as a shower. (There’s no space to have a separate shower stall.) We’ve seen clawfoot hardware shower diverters which would work, but are quite expensive. Is there a cheaper way to add a shower and work with the existing wall setup? Can you please tell us where to begin and refer us to companies that might make the hardware we’re looking for? Thanks!

Hi, what do you think of single-lever bathtub/shower faucets (like the Delta 1400 series)? The ones where a single lever controls both the volume of the flow and the temperature (ie, rotate counterclockwise to turn on as well as move from cold to hot water). What if I want low-flow hot water? Can’t do it with one of these. Same with maximum flow cold water.
