Answer 1

rip out the old bath,put in a chuband install ashower over that. A chub is a big square or corner fitted bath. Works a treat you only need to get the plumber to do the taps.

Answer 2

There are circular shower curtain arrangements that either hang from the ceiling or from the wall. There are also "telephone" shower heads that have that hose connector. You'll need a new tub spout with the diverter -- easy screw off-- white teflon tape to replace on the pipe-- and a way to hang your hand held shower head to the wall. -- there is one that has a stainless steel piece that is screwed to the wall and a way to move the diverter up and down that piece of metal for your height, et cetera.
Go to a big box store-- stand and look thru their bath books-- you'll see what I am talking about.
Be sure and do something about the surface around the tub-- if you're lucky you'll have tile-- that's great. However if there are any breaks in the tile-- you will have a problem-- because the tub is in an old house and wet backer board wasn't in existence.-- notice I didn't say you MAY have a problem-- you will.
good luck

This is a major undertaking for a non pro- the drain will not line up, notice the tub drain is at one end- the water supply will have to be moved up the wall- You can add a Shower Curtain to handle the water, it travels on a Track, add a shower head supplied external and new Faucet with a Diverter for the shower, that is the easy thing to do.

to have a shower you could buy a cheap shower stall at Lowe's for about $ 100.00 ,take out the bath tub,put the shower in the same place as the old tub.or you could put up a ring on the wall for a shower curtain,then add a shower head on a hose,it would be hand held,but it works.........hope you get the matter worked out............happy showering
