This common daily hassle actually poses a constant tripping hazard for your family.
Our team of local builders replaces your old, high-walled tub with a sleek, low-profile walk-in stall.
By making this smart swap, you instantly reclaim valuable square footage in a cramped room.
This practical remodel also slashes your weekly cleaning time in half since modern acrylic surrounds lack dirty grout lines.

We believe that home improvement should never feel like a giant headache.
Because of this, we handle the entire messy tear-out and plumbing work ourselves.

First of all, old cast iron basins take up a massive amount of floor space.
Removing that bulky obstacle allows you to install a spacious, modern stall with custom glass doors.
This change makes your whole room feel twice as large as it did before.
In addition to the extra space, you gain a much safer way to wash.
Slip-resistant pans dramatically lower the risk of falls for kids and grandparents alike.
Peace of mind is truly the greatest benefit of updating your wet area.
On top of those safety perks, the aesthetic upgrade boosts your home value instantly.
Buyers these days actively seek out walk-in stalls over outdated basins.
Investing in this quick transformation pays off both now and down the road.
Living in Berrien County means dealing with unique local water conditions and historic home layouts.

| Feature | Old High-Walled Basin | Our New Walk-In Stall |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches | Usually 1 to 3 inches |
| Maintenance | High scrubbing, moldy grout | Easy wipe-down, non-porous |
| Safety Level | High slip and trip risk | Very safe, slip-resistant floor |
| Visual Appeal | Outdated, bulky look | Modern, open, airy feel |
As you can see, the differences are quite striking.
Choosing the modern route simplifies your chores and protects your physical well-being.
This simple comparison explains why so many neighbors are making the switch.
Naturally, you might worry about the mess of a construction project.
Fortunately, our streamlined installation process keeps dust and disruption to an absolute minimum.
We finish most of these specific transformations in just one or two days.
Before we lay a single tool down, we protect your floors with heavy-duty drop cloths.
Next, our crew carefully demolishes the old alcove wall and extracts the heavy basin.
We inspect the underlying wood framing for any hidden water damage or mold.
Once we ensure the subfloor is solid, we upgrade the drain location.
This is crucial because shower drains require a larger pipe size than standard tubs.
We handle all these technical plumbing adjustments to guarantee perfect water flow.
After that, we secure the new slip-resistant pan and install waterproof wall panels.
These gorgeous panels seal out moisture to prevent future rot behind your walls.
Finally, we mount your choice of sleek fixtures and clean up every speck of dust.
To make the space truly yours, you can choose from various built-in accessories.
For instance, corner caddies hold all your shampoos and soaps neatly off the floor.
This keeps your new washing area looking organized and clutter-free.
Additionally, we can install sturdy grab bars that blend beautifully with your hardware.
These bars offer extra stability without making your bathroom look like a hospital room.
Safety can indeed look incredibly stylish when done right.
Another fantastic option is a comfortable fold-down seat or a built-in bench.
This allows you to relax and unwind while washing away the day's dirt.
You get to customize every single detail to match your daily needs.
We pride ourselves on offering transparent pricing with zero hidden fees.
Because we live and work locally in this beautiful Southern community, our reputation means everything.

Count the baths your household actually ran last year. In most homes we visit, the honest number is somewhere between zero and three, and yet every single morning somebody swings a leg over fifteen inches of porcelain rim to stand up and shower inside a fixture built for lying down. The tub charges rent daily and works a few evenings a year.
Nothing dramatic follows from that. Nobody is in danger because a bathtub exists, and if long soaks are part of your week, keep the tub and enjoy it with our blessing. The case for the conversion is plainer: when the tub has become a shower tray with high sides, you are paying, in caution and in cleaning, for a feature you retired years ago.
The swap itself is smaller than most people picture. The supply lines, the drain and the alcove walls are already exactly where a shower wants them, which is why this is a job measured in days. We are not building a new bathroom; we are letting the one you have stop pretending it still gives baths.
The same alcove, photographed the way the week actually unfolds. Weather never delays this one; it all happens indoors.
Floors along the hallway get covered, the water goes off for a few hours, and the bathtub is cut free and carried out, tile flange and all. With the alcove stripped, the plumber moves the drain to where the new pan wants it and sets the new valve at shower height. By supper the room is bare, clean and ready.
The base arrives first: an acrylic pan set dead level on a mortar bed, or a sloped, waterproofed floor when the plan says curbless. Then the walls close in, either grout-free panels bonded in a single afternoon or backer board ready for tile. Everything from here on is watertight before it is pretty.
The glass panel or door is drilled, hung and plumbed straight, the trim goes on, and the silicone lines are drawn last. Silicone wants a day to cure, so the first shower usually happens the following morning, which is exactly how we schedule the walkthrough.
Both are real showers in the same alcove. The difference is the entry, and what has to happen under it.
| What you weigh | Low curb | Curbless |
|---|---|---|
| What stands at the entry | A tidy threshold about 3 to 4 inches tall | Nothing. The bathroom floor rolls straight into the shower |
| Cost, installed | The friendlier bracket, most jobs land here | Roughly a third to a half more, the floor is rebuilt |
| What the crew rebuilds | The alcove only; the bathroom floor stays shut | Part of the bathroom floor, sloped and waterproofed |
| Water containment | The curb and glass do the holding | The slope and a linear drain do the holding |
| Suits best | Straight swaps on a budget and upstairs bathrooms | Wheels, walkers, and anyone planning to stay put for decades |
Undecided is a fine answer on the form. The site visit settles it with a tape measure, not a sales pitch.
Removal
Cut free, hauled out and off to recycling, with floors and doorways shielded on the way. The loudest hour of the conversion, and it wraps before most jobs have begun.
Plumbing
Tub drains sit at one end; showers drain where the pan says. We move what needs moving and swap the old valve for a pressure-balanced one.
The base
A level acrylic pan for most swaps, a mortar-built sloped floor for curbless plans. Either way it is tested with water before anything covers it.
The walls
Grout-free panels go up in an afternoon and wipe clean forever. Tile takes longer, costs more, and looks like whatever you can imagine.
The glass
A fixed panel keeps things open and easy to clean; a hinged door closes the warmth in. Both are tempered, both are set dead straight.
The finish
Shelving, the hand shower, clean caulk lines and a walkthrough. We leave the cure time in writing so the first shower is not a gamble.
| The job | Usual range | Inside the number |
|---|---|---|
| Standard tub-to-shower conversion | $3,100 - $5,600 | Tub out, low curb pan, wall panels, new valve, glass panel. |
| Curbless conversion | $4,900 - $8,800 | The floor is rebuilt flush and sloped to a linear drain. |
| Glass: fixed panel or hinged door | $450 - $1,400 | A single panel sits at the low end, a framed door at the top. |
| Walls: PVC panels or tile | $1,100 - $3,900 | Panels finish in a day; tile adds days and takes any look you want. |
| Tear-out only | $450 - $950 | The tub gone and the alcove left clean for another trade. |
| Small job minimum | around $2,400 | Even the simplest swap books a licensed plumber and a full crew. |
Wall condition, drain position and the glass you choose move every line. The visit pins the figure down, and the figure then holds.
A bathtub drains at one end through its own trap; most showers want the drain nearer the middle, or along one edge when the plan is curbless. Sometimes the existing trap is close enough to reuse and sometimes it has to travel a foot or two, which means opening a strip of floor. We can usually tell which from the basement or the crawl space during the visit, and the paperwork you sign already names which one you are getting.
Houses older than the seventies like to add a surprise: galvanized supply lines rusted nearly shut, a cast iron trap that crumbles at a touch, or framing that got damp decades ago and kept it quiet. None of it is rare and none of it is ruinous, but it is your call, not ours. When something like that turns up, work pauses, you get photographs and a price for the fix, and nothing is billed until you have said yes to it. A conversion should never be the job where the invoice writes itself.
QIs losing the only bathtub a resale mistake?
AAgents around Alapaha repeat one rule: a family house shows better with a tub somewhere in it. If this is your only tub and small children are in your plans, we put that on the table during the visit and you decide with open eyes. If another bathroom keeps its tub, or the buyers you expect are shower people, the argument evaporates.
QHow long do we go without washing?
AThe toilet and sink stay usable every evening, and the water is only off for stretches on day one. The shower itself is ready once the silicone cures, so figure on missing roughly three days of showers at home. Plenty of clients time the job before a weekend away.
QDoes all the old tile come off the walls?
AOn the alcove walls, yes, because the new waterproofing needs to start from the studs, not from forty-year-old grout. Tile outside the alcove stays put, and we cut a clean line where the two meet.
QCan the new shower use the tub drain?
AThe pipe itself is nearly always reusable; the position is the question. A low curb pan can often sit its drain within reach of the old trap. Curbless floors want a relocated or linear drain, and that difference is priced before demo, never discovered after.
QDo we need a permit for the swap?
AA like-for-like fixture swap usually rides on a simple plumbing permit, and moving the drain can add an inspection. We file whatever your jurisdiction wants and fold the cost into the written price.
QWhat if there is rot behind the tub?
AIt happens, mostly around the old tile flange. You get photographs the hour we find it, a firm price for the repair, and the choice to proceed or pause. The framing fix is usually a morning, not a remodel.
