Maybe you are tired of climbing over that massive, slippery porcelain ledge every single morning just to wash your hair. This daily obstacle course can feel downright dangerous, especially when soap and water enter the mix. Fortunately, our team visits your home to replace that outdated, high-walled basin with a modern, walk-in washing space that fits your life perfectly.
By making this simple upgrade, you instantly create a safer environment for everyone in your household. Indeed, you get a much larger area to move around without losing your balance. To make things even better, we provide a completely free estimate to help you plan this project without any financial pressure.

You do not have to settle for an outdated bathroom setup that feels cramped and annoying. Instead, you can contact us today for a free on-site assessment to see how we can transform your space.
First of all, nobody actually has time for long, soaking baths in today's busy world. Most of us just want a quick, refreshing wash in a bright, open space. Because of this, removing that bulky, unused basin frees up an incredible amount of floor area in your bathroom.
Additionally, we install beautiful acrylic wall surrounds and low-threshold bases that require almost zero scrubbing. This means you will spend way less time cleaning moldy grout lines on your hands and knees. Instead, you get to enjoy a sparkling clean space that stays beautiful with just a simple wipe down.
On top of that, your safety is our main priority during every single home installation. We can easily add sturdy grab bars, built-in benches, and handy shampoo caddies right where you need them. Consequently, your daily routine becomes a peaceful, stress-free experience rather than a slippery chore.
| Old Setup Feature | New Walk-In Benefit | Daily Life Impact |
|---|---|---|
| 15-inch step-over wall | Low-threshold base | Prevents slips and trips |
| Dingy, hard-to-clean grout | Non-porous acrylic panels | Cuts cleaning time in half |
| Cramped, dark washing area | Glass doors and open layout | Makes the bathroom feel huge |
Now, you might be wondering how we actually pull off this amazing transformation without turning your home into a total disaster zone. Well, our experienced crew arrives early with all the right tools to protect your floors and keep dust to an absolute minimum. We carefully disconnect the old plumbing fixtures and remove the heavy cast iron or steel basin without damaging your walls.
After that, we inspect the subfloor underneath to ensure there is no hidden water damage or wood rot. This step is super important because we want your new foundation to be solid as a rock. If we find any soft spots, we repair them immediately so your new pan sits perfectly level.
Next, we run high-quality copper or PEX plumbing lines to match your new faucet layout. We then secure the heavy-duty, slip-resistant base directly to the subfloor for maximum stability. Finally, we seal everything with commercial-grade silicone to guarantee a lifetime of leak-free performance.
Naturally, you want your new setup to look amazing and match your personal taste. We offer a massive variety of wall panel patterns that mimic luxury stone, modern subway tile, or clean marble. This lets you get the look of expensive masonry without the high cost and maintenance nightmare of real grout.
To assist with your selection, we bring sample materials right to your kitchen table during our visit. You can touch the textures, compare colors under your own lights, and pick the perfect hardware finishes. Whether you love matte black, brushed nickel, or classic chrome, we have options that will make you smile.

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 Crescent Springs 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.
