Getting stuck climbing over a high barrier every single morning can feel like a real chore when you just want a quick wash. This is why replacing that old, deep basin with a sleek, low-profile washing space makes so much sense for your daily routine. By making this smart swap, you instantly open up your room and make your home much safer for everyone. We specialize in transforming these outdated setups into beautiful, accessible walk-in areas that match your personal style.
Our dedicated local team loves helping folks get rid of their clunky bathing fixtures to install something much more practical. When you choose to upgrade, you get a beautiful space that is incredibly easy to keep clean. To make things even better, we offer a completely free estimate right at your home to help you plan the project without any stress. Let us help you turn that cramped, outdated corner into a sparkling oasis that you will actually enjoy using every single day.
Every homeowner deserves a bathing area that fits their lifestyle perfectly rather than holding them back. You might be struggling with limited mobility, or maybe you are just tired of scrubbing those hard-to-reach corners. Upgrading to a modern walk-in setup solves all of these annoying problems in one go. We take care of the entire process from start to finish, ensuring you get top-notch craftsmanship without any of the usual construction headaches.
Stepping over a high wall on a slippery wet surface is a recipe for a nasty slip. By lowering that entry point down to just a few inches, you protect your joints and your peace of mind. This simple modification turns a hazardous daily task into a relaxing, stress-free experience. On top of that, your new setup will look incredibly modern and spacious.
Think about how much space that old, dusty basin actually takes up in your bathroom. Most of the time, people do not even fill it up with water anymore because they prefer a fast, refreshing spray. Replacing that unused volume with a spacious floor-level stall gives you room to stretch out. Which means you can finally enjoy your morning routine without banging your elbows against the walls.
To give you a better idea of how these two options stack up, we put together a quick comparison table below. This shows exactly how making the switch improves your home life.
| Feature | Old High-Walled Basin | Modern Walk-In Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Usually 14 to 18 inches high | Only 2 to 5 inches high |
| Cleaning Effort | Hard scrubbing on your knees | Easy wipe-down with mild soap |
| Visual Space | Makes the room look small and boxed-in | Creates a bright, open feel |
| Safety Level | High risk of slipping and tripping | Very safe with optional grab bars |
First, we come out to your property to take precise measurements of your existing layout. This ensures that we do not run into any nasty surprises once the old fixture comes out. Our friendly crew explains every option clearly, from the color of the wall surrounds to the placement of the drain. This lets you design a custom setup that looks like it belongs in a high-end magazine.
Next, our experienced installers carefully remove the old, heavy cast iron or acrylic basin without damaging your surrounding walls. We inspect the underlying subfloor and plumbing pipes to make sure everything is rock-solid and dry. If we find any hidden water damage, we fix it right then and there so your new system lasts for decades. This attention to detail keeps your home safe from mold and structural rot.
After preparing the space, we install a high-quality, leak-proof pan and beautiful new wall panels. You can choose from various textures that look exactly like real stone or classic subway tile. These modern materials do not have porous grout lines, meaning you will never have to scrub mold with a toothbrush again. Finally, we hook up your new fixtures and leave your bathroom absolutely spotless.
Adding smart accessories can make your new space feel like a luxurious personal getaway. For example, we can install a sturdy, fold-down bench that lets you sit down and relax while washing. This feature is perfect for anyone who wants to take the pressure off their feet after a long day of work. We also place heavy-duty grab bars exactly where you need them for maximum stability.
Another fantastic option is a handheld spray wand that lets you direct the water precisely where you want it. This makes washing your hair, rinsing off the walls, or even bathing a wet dog incredibly simple. You can pair this with built-in shelving caddies to keep your shampoos and soaps organized and off the floor. Your new space will feel tailored specifically to your daily habits.

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 Bono 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.
