Across Box Elder County, bathtubs that retired years ago give way to showers built in their own footprint.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Maybe you feel tired of stepping over that high porcelain ledge every single morning just to wash your hair. Truly, that bulky water basin takes up half your bathroom floor while collecting dust and soap scum because nobody has time for a long soak anymore. This lets you trade that outdated obstacle for a spacious, easy-access washing area that actually fits your busy lifestyle.
By making this smart swap, you instantly open up your room and make your daily routine ten times safer. Which means you can say goodbye to nasty slips and hello to a sleek, modern layout that feels like a private spa. Our local team comes right to your door to measure your space and give you a completely free cost estimate without any pressure.
Naturally, we understand that home projects can feel overwhelming when you do not know where to start. Because of this, we handle every single step from ripping out the old cast iron beast to sealing up your gorgeous new base. Let us help you transform your daily wash into a quick, refreshing experience that brings joy back to your mornings.
Honestly, very few people in our modern world actually sit down and soak in a deep basin after a long day of work. Instead, most of us just want to jump under a warm, cascading stream of water and get clean without any hassle. This change gives you a much wider standing area so you do not feel trapped inside a narrow, slippery acrylic coffin.
On top of that, your safety should always come first when you are dealing with wet, slick surfaces. For this reason, we install sturdy slip-resistant pans and low-profile thresholds that keep you safe from dangerous trips. You will instantly notice how much easier it is to keep this setup clean since we use seamless wall panels that resist mold growth.
To give you a better idea of how this upgrade changes your daily life, we created a handy comparison table below.
| Feature | Old Basin Setup | Modern Walk-In Option |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Height | High step-over (often 15 inches or more) | Ultra-low barrier (usually 2 to 3 inches) |
| Cleaning Effort | Heavy scrubbing of deep corners and grout lines | Simple wipe-down of smooth, non-porous panels |
| Visual Space | Cramped, dark, and cuts the room in half | Bright, open, and makes the bathroom look twice as big |
| Safety Level | High risk of slipping while balancing on one foot | Stable footing with optional built-in seating |
When you think about the resale value of your property, a modern washroom is always a major selling point for potential buyers. Surprisingly, most home shoppers today prefer a gorgeous, spacious walk-in stall over a dusty old soaking basin they will never use. This means you are not just spoiling yourself today, you are also making a very smart investment for the future.
Besides the financial perks, the sheer convenience of a customized setup will make you smile every time you walk through the door. We offer a massive variety of beautiful finishes, gorgeous colors, and handy accessories like built-in corner shelves to hold your shampoos. This lets you design a space that reflects your personal style while keeping all your daily essentials within arm's reach.
If you have older family members living with you, this upgrade provides them with incredible independence and peace of mind. They can easily step inside without needing assistance, which preserves their dignity and keeps everyone in the household relaxed. We love helping local families create spaces that are both beautiful and incredibly practical for every generation.
To start, you get to choose from an amazing selection of wall panels that look exactly like real stone or luxury tile. This gives you the high-end look you want without the nightmare of scrubbing dirty, stained grout lines every weekend. You can also add sleek, matte black or polished chrome fixtures to give the whole area a fresh, modern pop.
Next, we can install comfortable, fold-down seats and heavy-duty grab bars that blend perfectly with your modern design. These features do not have to look like a cold hospital room anymore, because modern manufacturers design them to look incredibly stylish. This lets you relax in the warm spray without worrying about losing your footing or feeling unstable.
Fortunately, our experienced crew knows how to complete this job quickly so your home does not turn into a messy construction zone for weeks. We start by carefully removing your old fixture, making sure we do not damage your existing walls or plumbing. This lets us inspect the subfloor underneath for any hidden water damage or rot that needs fixing before we move forward.
Once the area is clean and prepped, we run new plumbing lines to match your chosen showerhead location perfectly. After that, we secure your new sturdy base, install the waterproof wall surrounds, and seal everything with top-tier caulking. Which means you get a gorgeous, leak-free wash area that is ready for action in just a couple of days.

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 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.
