Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Maybe you feel tired of stepping over that high, slippery ledge every single morning just to wash off. Many local folks in Fremont County face this exact struggle because old-style basins simply do not fit a fast-paced life anymore. Upgrading to a modern, low-profile washing space gives you quick access and keeps your daily routine safe from accidental slips.
Fortunately, our dedicated crew makes the transition incredibly smooth and hassle-free. By swapping that bulky old unit for a spacious, contemporary walk-in setup, you instantly open up your room and make it look twice as big. We come right to your home to look at your current layout and help you plan this amazing transformation without any stress.
Getting your hands on a free estimate is the very first step toward a safer home. Our team loves helping neighbors update their properties to match their changing lifestyle needs. Let us handle the heavy lifting while you sit back and watch your old bathroom turn into a beautiful oasis.
To start with, traditional deep basins pose a serious tripping hazard for children and older family members alike. When you replace that high barrier with a low-threshold entryway, you create a secure environment for everyone in the household. This simple change eliminates the daily anxiety of climbing in and out of a wet, slick porcelain box.
Besides safety, a modern step-in stall offers incredible ease of cleaning. You will no longer have to bend over double to scrub those stubborn mildew rings from deep corners. Modern acrylic and tile surrounds resist grime, which means you spend less time scrubbing on your knees and more time relaxing.
Additionally, this upgrade adds immense value to your property. Buyers nowadays actively look for walk-in setups because they prefer quick efficiency over long, water-wasting soaking rituals. Making the switch now ensures your home stays modern, highly functional, and appealing for years to come.
Before any work starts, we perform a detailed inspection of your existing plumbing pipes and subfloor. This careful checking prevents hidden leaks from causing expensive damage down the road. We make sure your drain alignment matches the new pan perfectly so water flows away without pooling.
Next, we discuss the beautiful design options that fit your personal style. You can choose from various textures, colors, and wall surrounds that mimic natural stone or classic subway tile. This design freedom lets you customize the space to achieve maximum cozy warmth and visual appeal.
Finally, our skilled installers complete the tear-out and new installation with minimal disruption to your daily life. We keep our work area incredibly tidy and haul away the old heavy cast iron or fiberglass basin. Which means you get a gorgeous, ready-to-use setup without dealing with a messy construction zone.
| Feature Option | Main Benefit | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Low-Profile Pan | Stops tripping hazards | All age groups |
| Built-in Seating | Offers comfortable resting | Relaxing washes |
| Grab Bars | Ensures solid balance | Mobility support |
| Corner Shelving | Keeps bottles organized | Small spaces |
Now, let us talk about the fun part, which is choosing your accessories. Adding sturdy grab bars and a comfortable built-in bench provides excellent support for anyone with mobility challenges. These smart additions do not have to look clinical, as modern fixtures come in beautiful matte black, brushed nickel, and oil-rubbed bronze finishes.
On top of that, you can customize your storage options. Integrated corner caddies and recessed shelving keep your shampoo bottles and soaps off the floor. This organization maximizes your standing room so you never feel cramped while washing.
To top it off, choosing the right glass door can elevate the entire look. Frameless glass enclosures create a seamless, airy feel that lets light bounce around the room. Alternatively, a beautiful rod setup allows you to use colorful curtains to match your seasonal decor easily.
When thinking about longevity, high-quality acrylic stands out as a top choice. This non-porous material prevents mold growth and resists cracking or chipping over time. It retains heat well, which keeps your washing area feeling warm and inviting during chilly mornings.
If you prefer a more traditional look, custom tile work offers unmatched luxury. You can mix and match patterns to create a unique accent wall that reflects your personality. However, tile requires sealed grout lines to keep moisture from seeping behind the walls.

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 Fort Washakie 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.
