Across Brevard 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 a high ledger every single morning just to wash off. This daily hurdle actually poses a real slip risk for everyone in your home. By swapping that old deep basin for a modern walk-in stall, you instantly create a safer and much more open space.
Suddenly your whole morning routine feels faster and way more refreshing. This smart upgrade also stops water from splashing all over your floor because new enclosures seal tight. You can finally stop worrying about water damage hiding under your linoleum.
If you want to make this change happen, we can visit your home and give you a free estimate to get started. Our team loves helping folks transform their outdated setups into beautiful daily retreats. You deserve a setup that fits your actual lifestyle instead of keeping a dusty tub you never plug up to soak in.
First of all, nobody really has time for long baths anymore in our busy world. Most of us just want to jump in, get clean, and get on with our day. Removing the unused basin gives you back precious square footage in a tight room.
This extra floor area means you can install a spacious glass enclosure or a nice bench. Think about how much easier it is to scrub a flat floor rather than bending over to clean deep porcelain curves. Your back will surely thank you for making this simple switch.
On top of that, we focus on installing non-slip pans that keep your feet planted safely. Here is a quick comparison to help you see how these two setups match up in daily life:
| Feature | Old High Basin | Modern Walk-In Stall |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Usually 14 to 18 inches high | Only 1 to 3 inches max |
| Cleaning Effort | Hard scrubbing on your knees | Simple wipe down standing up |
| Flooring Space | Feels cramped and bulky | Opens up the whole room |
Naturally, your home value gets a nice little bump when you modernize your washroom this way. Buyers today look for sleek walk-in options rather than old-fashioned fixtures from decades ago. You get to enjoy the upgrade now, and it pays off later if you ever decide to sell.
Now you might wonder what kind of style fits your specific home best. We offer beautiful acrylic surrounds that mimic expensive stone without the heavy price tag or the high maintenance. These durable walls do not have grout lines, which means mold has nowhere to hide and grow.
Perhaps you prefer classic ceramic tile for a highly customized, timeless look instead. We can lay down gorgeous patterns that match your exact style. This lets you express your personality while keeping the space incredibly functional.
Besides the walls, you get to choose awesome hardware like rainfall showerheads or sliding frameless glass doors. These modern touches bring a sense of cozy relaxation and pure joy to your daily routine. We make sure every single valve and handle works flawlessly for your peace of mind.
Safety does not mean your bathroom has to look like a sterile hospital wing. We install gorgeous grab bars that double as stylish towel racks so they blend right in. This subtle design trick keeps your space looking beautiful while offering solid support whenever you need it.
Additionally, we can build a sturdy corner seat or a folding bench right into the wall. This gives you a comfortable spot to relax or shave your legs without balancing on one foot. It is all about making your daily wash feel effortless and safe.
Instead of letting bottles clutter your floor, we can carve out custom shampoo niches. These recessed shelves keep your soap and conditioners organized and off the ledge. Which means you will never accidentally kick a bottle over in the dark again.
By planning these small details with us during your free quote, you get a tailored layout. We measure everything down to the fraction of an inch so your new setup fits perfectly. Your home deserves a specialized touch that makes life run just a bit smoother.
Understandably, the thought of remodeling might make you worry about a huge mess in your house. Our crew treats your property with the utmost respect from start to finish. We lay down protective drop cloths to keep your floors clean while we work.
First, we carefully extract the old heavy iron or fiberglass tub without damaging your walls. Then we inspect the subfloor underneath to ensure there is no hidden rot or mold. If we find any weak spots, we fix them right away so your new base rests on a rock-solid foundation.
After that, we run new plumbing lines to align perfectly with your center drain. This careful preparation guarantees that water flows away instantly without pooling at your feet. We do not cut corners because we want your new setup to last for decades.
Living along the beautiful Atlantic coast of the Sunshine State means dealing with lots of humidity and sand. After a long day at the beach, you want to wash off quickly without tracking sand into a deep tub. A quick step-in stall is the ultimate solution for active coastal living.
Our warm climate also means mold can pop up fast if your washroom holds onto damp air. Our moisture-resistant wall panels dry incredibly fast, keeping your indoor air fresher. This is especially true in Brevard County, where we proudly serve homeowners across all local neighborhoods.
Whether you live in a cozy beach bungalow or a larger family home, we know how to maximize your layout. We understand the local building codes inside and out, so every permit is handled correctly. You can sit back and relax while we transform your space safely.
Did you know that filling up a large basin uses way more water than a quick wash? By making this upgrade, you will likely notice a pleasant drop in your monthly utility bills. This saving adds up fast over the years, making the project highly cost-effective.
We also install low-flow showerheads that still provide amazing water pressure. This lets you enjoy a powerful rinse while doing your part to conserve resources. It is a win-win situation for both your wallet and the local environment.

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.
