Yes, you can find one that will work. There are many companies that premake them with the shower enclosure. You may have to special order it through your home center, but they are available. You can also order a jacuzzi tub to fit the spot of your previous tub then install ceramic tile with waterpoof membrane, etc to make the space a usable shower.

It is available with a bit of research. The primary issue when retrofitting a whirlpool tub is the presence of electrical service. You need a seperate GFCI circuit for the pump.
Good Luck!

there is a big difference between a jaccuzzi and a whirlpool tub!! and neither are for cleaning!! the primary purpose of both is to relax in a hot whirling bath sometimes with scents or minerals!! a tub is not as clean as a shower so having a shower attached to it will be a big benefit,, you can rinse the tub and yourself after use..you will need to make sure you floor can support the weight of a such a tub as they are much heavier and hold much more water than a regular tub!!!!!
