Across Clarke 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.
Are you tired of climbing over that high wall just to wash up in the morning? Transforming your dated bathroom into a modern walk-in space is the best way to gain more room and make your daily routine much safer.
Because you live in a rural spot in Clarke County, Alabama, you know that keeping your home updated is a smart move for property value. This area features beautiful landscapes and a quiet lifestyle, but your indoor plumbing should still keep up with the times. Whether you reside near Grove Hill or elsewhere in the region, a quick bathroom upgrade adds instant style and keeps you from slipping on wet tile.
Most folks think a giant porcelain box is a must-have, but honestly, it just eats up precious floor space. When you pull out that bulky item, you suddenly have room for a vanity or extra shelving. This change gives you a sense of ease that makes your bathroom feel twice as big. Getting rid of the high ledge means you never have to worry about tripping while you step inside to rinse off.
Plus, you will save a massive amount of water every single day. Taking a quick rinse uses way less liquid than filling up a giant vessel for a soak. This saves you money on your monthly utility bills while being kind to the environment. That is a win for your wallet and a win for the planet. Think of the extra cash you can spend on other projects around your house instead.
First off, our team comes to your place to see exactly how your current plumbing is set up. We check the walls and the floor to ensure everything is sturdy enough for the new install. This step lets us give you a clear plan that avoids hidden costs later on. You deserve to know exactly what is happening behind those bathroom walls before we start.
Next, we remove the old, heavy basin and haul it away so you do not have to lift a finger. We handle the messy demolition and prepare the area with fresh waterproofing to stop any leaks. This ensures your new setup lasts for many years without you needing to call for repairs. Everything is done with great precision to maintain the high quality of your home interior.
You can pick from a wide range of tiles and glass finishes to make the room look exactly how you want. Maybe you like a dark stone look or perhaps a bright white tile that makes the space feel airy. This choice lets you express your personality while creating a place of pure relaxation. Your bathroom should be a spot where you actually enjoy spending time every single day.
On top of that, adding a new fixture for water flow can turn a dull morning into a spa experience. We install modern hardware that provides better pressure and temperature control. You get to enjoy a steady stream that feels amazing on your back after a long day of work. It is all about upgrading your quality of living without needing to renovate the entire house.
Since you are in an area where the median household income varies, we work hard to keep prices fair and transparent. We understand that your budget is a big factor when you decide to remodel. By getting a free estimate from us, you see the numbers before any work starts. This transparency is key to building trust between us and the families we serve in the local community.
We are familiar with the local ZIP codes and the unique needs of homes in this part of the state. Whether your house is an older build or a newer construction, we have seen it all before. Our team knows how to adapt to the quirks of your plumbing to get the job done right the first time. You do not have to worry about mistakes or sloppy work when you hire a team that cares.
Many people ask if they will regret losing the ability to take a long soak. Most clients tell us that they rarely used the tub anyway and prefer the speed of a modern stall. If you really miss a soak occasionally, you can always visit a local hot tub or spa facility nearby. But for your home, the efficiency and accessibility of a walk-in unit usually outweigh the infrequent need for a bath.
Another point involves the resale value of your property. Buyers today love walk-in units because they represent a modern and clean aesthetic. A bathroom that looks like it belongs in the last century can really drag down the appeal of your home. By making this switch, you keep your residence competitive in the market whenever you decide it is time to move on.
Before we arrive, try to clear out any personal items from the vanity and the counter. You do not need to do anything heavy, just move your shampoos and towels out of the way. This allows us to move fast and keeps your things safe from dust. Having a clear space means we can focus entirely on the plumbing and construction work.
If you have pets, make sure to keep them in another room during the project. It is loud and there is a lot of traffic in and out of the bathroom. We want to keep your furry friends safe and out of the way while we handle the heavy lifting. Once we are finished, you can let them come back to inspect your shiny new shower stall.

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.
