Maybe you are tired of stepping over that high porcelain ledge every single morning just to wash your hair. This daily hurdle gets old fast, especially when you consider how much easier it is to just walk straight into a spacious stall. Our dedicated crew visits homes in the local area to swap out your old, unused basins for sleek, open bathing areas. This simple change completely transforms your daily routine and makes your space feel twice as large.
Because we want to make this upgrade painless, we provide a free in-home estimate to discuss your layout. You get to see exactly what fits your budget without any pressure. By choosing this modern upgrade, you instantly eliminate the risk of slips and trips on wet, curved surfaces. Our team handles the heavy lifting, the plumbing adjustments, and the clean-up so you can relax.
Imagine having a beautiful, low-barrier entry that fits your lifestyle perfectly. Since our installers focus on durable, non-porous materials, your new wash area will resist mold and mildew. This means you will spend less time scrubbing grout lines on your hands and knees. You get a fresh, clean look that adds immense value to your home with very little effort.
When you decide to modernize your setup, the first step involves measuring your existing footprint. Which means we do not have to tear down your entire room to give you a gorgeous new look. We carefully remove the old cast iron or acrylic tub without damaging your surrounding walls. This keeps the mess to an absolute minimum and protects your flooring.
After we clear the old fixture, our plumbers inspect the hidden pipes for any signs of wear. This lets you fix minor leaks before they become major, expensive headaches later on. We then install a heavy-duty pan and water-resistant backing board to prevent future moisture damage. You get a solid, leak-proof foundation that stands the test of time.
To give you a better idea of what this project entails, we compiled some key details. This handy guide helps you compare your old setup with the new system we install.
| Feature | Old High-Wall Tub | New Walk-In Stall |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | 3 to 5 inches |
| Maintenance | High scrubbing required | Easy wipe-down surface |
| Floor Space | Feels cramped and bulky | Open and spacious feel |
| Safety Level | Higher slip hazard | Slip-resistant flooring |
Actually, many people realize they rarely take full baths anymore and prefer quick, refreshing streams of water. This shift in habits makes the old basin a waste of valuable square footage. By reclaiming that space, you create a bright, open oasis that feels like a luxury hotel. You deserve a washroom that matches how you actually live today.
On top of that, accessibility becomes a major factor as we grow older or welcome guests with limited mobility. This upgrade ensures that everyone in your household can wash up safely and independently. We can easily add built-in seating, sturdy grab bars, and corner shelving for your shampoos. These thoughtful additions turn a simple chore into a highly enjoyable, secure experience.
If you are thinking about selling your property down the road, this upgrade appeals greatly to modern buyers. Most house hunters look for updated washrooms that do not require immediate renovation work. This means your investment today helps secure a better selling price in the future. You enjoy the beauty of the upgrade now while building long-term equity.
Now, you can choose from a wide variety of wall panels and patterns that mimic high-end stone or classic subway tile. This gives you the look of luxury without the painful maintenance that comes with real grout. We help you select colors that complement your existing vanity and flooring beautifully. Your personal style will shine through every single detail.
Besides the walls, you can select premium fixtures like rain showerheads or versatile handheld sprayers. This allows you to direct the water exactly where you need it most. We install high-quality glass doors or simple curtain rods depending on your layout. Each option is designed to keep water inside the basin where it belongs.
Naturally, you might worry about your home being a construction zone for weeks on end. Fortunately, our experienced crew streamline the entire process to get the job done in just a few days. We treat your property with the utmost respect, using drop cloths to protect your carpets. Our team works efficiently to minimize any disruption to your daily schedule.
Once we complete the installation, we walk you through the features and show you how to care for the materials. This ensures you feel completely confident in your new space before we pack up our tools. We leave your home spotless, taking the old debris away with us. You simply get to walk in and enjoy your upgraded, beautiful washroom.

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 Englewood 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.
