Maybe you feel tired of stepping over that high porcelain ledge every single morning. This daily hurdle can turn your routine into a genuine hassle. Fortunately, our local team can swap that old basin for a sleek walk-in setup quickly.
By making this change, you immediately gain a safer and more spacious area to wash up. Many families in the region choose this smart upgrade to modernize their properties. We provide a complimentary on-site evaluation to help you plan the perfect layout.
Consequently, you will enjoy a fresh setup that fits your daily life much better. No more slipping hazards or outdated sliding glass doors from the eighties. Instead, you get a beautiful, open stall that makes your whole room feel twice as big.
First of all, safety stands out as the main reason for this popular home remodel. Climbing over a slippery, high wall while wet is a recipe for disaster. Our custom replacements eliminate this danger by offering a low-profile entry point.
In addition to safety, cleaning becomes a total breeze with these new solid surfaces. You will no longer need to scrub moldy grout lines on your hands and knees. This means you save precious weekend time for things you actually enjoy doing.
Actually, our specialized process focuses on using durable non-porous materials that resist grime. Because of this, your new washing area stays sparkling clean with just a quick wipe down. You get a beautiful look without any of the heavy maintenance.
On top of that, we design these spaces to match your exact aesthetic preferences. Whether you want a modern minimalist style or something more traditional, we have you covered. Our crew handles the entire tear-out and installation process from start to finish.
Naturally, this upgrade also boosts the overall value of your residential property. Most modern buyers prefer a spacious stall over a dusty basin they never use. You are making a smart investment that pays off both now and in the future.
Initially, we visit your home to take precise measurements of your current setup. This crucial step ensures that your new low-barrier base fits perfectly into the existing alcove. We discuss your design ideas and help you choose the best wall panels.
Following that, we provide a detailed written estimate with absolutely no hidden fees. This honest pricing model ensures you know exactly what to expect before we turn a single wrench. We believe in transparency and honest communication with our local neighbors.
Next, our skilled installers carefully remove your old heavy cast iron or acrylic unit. We dispose of all the old debris so you do not have to worry about cleanups. This leaves a clean slate for our plumbing team to prepare the drains.
Soon after, we update the underlying pipe configuration to align with the new center drain. We install sturdy backer boards to prevent any moisture from seeping into your walls. This careful preparation guarantees a leak-free system that lasts for decades.
Finally, we install your chosen slip-resistant floor pan and beautiful surround panels. We seal everything with high-grade silicone to keep water exactly where it belongs. You will be able to enjoy your gorgeous new washing stall in just a couple of days.
| Feature of the New Setup | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| Low-Profile Entry Threshold | Prevents tripping and makes entering the stall incredibly easy. |
| Non-Porous Acrylic Walls | Resists mold growth and cuts your cleaning time in half. |
| Integrated Seating Options | Provides a relaxing space to sit down and wash safely. |
| Custom Grab Bars | Offers extra stability and peace of mind on wet surfaces. |
To begin with, you must select a material that fits your budget and style. High-quality acrylic remains a favorite choice because it retains heat and resists chipping. This material feels warm to the touch and looks pristine for years.
Alternatively, some homeowners prefer composite stone panels for a more luxurious natural look. These heavy-duty walls offer incredible durability while mimicking the appearance of expensive marble. This choice elevates the visual appeal of your entire master suite.
Furthermore, we offer various texture options for your new floor pan to prevent slips. These textured surfaces provide excellent traction underfoot without feeling rough on your toes. Your safety remains our absolute top priority during the design phase.
To help you decide, we bring physical samples directly to your door during our visit. This lets you feel the textures and see the colors under your own bathroom lighting. You can make an informed decision without any guesswork involved.
Specifically, our dedicated crew proudly serves the growing community of Falcon, Colorado. We understand the unique housing styles in this beautiful unincorporated part of the state. Our team loves helping folks update their homes in this scenic region.
Since the area sits at a high elevation, keeping homes cozy and functional is essential. We use top-tier insulation materials behind your new wall panels to keep drafts away. This extra care ensures your morning routine stays warm and pleasant.

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 Falcon 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.
