Across Caddo Parish, 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 barrier every single morning just to wash up. It is a daily hassle that feels more like an obstacle course than a relaxing routine. This is why transforming your old deep tub into a modern walk-in stall makes so much sense today.
Immediately you will notice how much bigger your room feels. By swapping that bulky basin for a spacious slip-resistant floor you gain physical freedom. Our team helps folks make this transition without any of the typical remodeling headaches.
Right off the bat you should know we visit your home to look at your setup and give you a free estimate. There is zero obligation to buy anything when we drop by. We just want to show you how easy it is to change your daily routine for the better.
Let us face the truth about those old cast-iron or acrylic basins. Unless you have toddlers who need a bubble bath they mostly just collect dust and soap scum. Swapping that unused basin for a sleek glass-enclosed stall gives you back your valuable floor space.
Think about how much safer your home becomes instantly. Slipping while climbing over a wet ledge is a major cause of household injuries. A low-profile threshold solves this worry completely by letting you walk right inside without lifting your knees to your chest.
This simple swap also adds a touch of modern class to your property. Buyers these days do not want outdated fixtures from decades ago. They crave clean lines and quick utility which is exactly what this remodel delivers.
You might worry that tearing out a heavy fixture will leave your home in ruins for weeks. Thankfully our experienced crew has this down to a science. We protect your floors and clean up every speck of dust before we leave.
First we carefully remove the existing basin and inspect the wood underneath. Sometimes hidden leaks cause rot behind the walls. We fix those plumbing issues right away so your new stall sits on a rock-solid foundation.
After that we install the new waterproof backing pan and beautiful wall surrounds. You get to choose the colors and tile patterns that match your personal style. Finally we seal everything with mold-resistant silicone to ensure a lifetime of leak-free performance.
Every homeowner has different needs and desires for their daily wash. This means you do not have to settle for a boring cookie-cutter design. We offer a huge variety of features that make your space uniquely yours.
Perhaps you want a sturdy built-in bench to sit on while you rinse off. Or maybe you need handy grab bars placed exactly where your hands naturally reach. We can even install recessed shampoo niches to keep your bottles off the floor.
Below is a quick guide to help you compare different design choices:
| Feature | Key Benefit | Style Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Low-threshold pan | Easy entry and exit | Sleek minimalist look |
| Sliding glass doors | Keeps water inside off floors | Makes the room feel huge |
| Corner seating | Added safety and relaxation | Spa-like atmosphere |
| Handheld sprayers | Simple cleaning and rinsing | High functional utility |
Let us talk about money because everyone wants to know what a project like this costs. While we cannot give an exact price without seeing your plumbing we promise honest upfront numbers. Our free estimate break down every single expense so you face no surprises later.
Investing in your home this way actually saves you cash over time. Old fixtures often develop slow hidden leaks that rot your subfloor. Catching these problems now prevents massive repair bills down the road.
On top of that you save precious minutes of your life every single day. Cleaning a modern acrylic or tiled stall takes a fraction of the effort compared to scrubbing a deep tub. You can finally say goodbye to backbreaking chore 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.
