Across Franklin 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 a high wall just to wash up in the morning? Transforming that clunky, oversized porcelain basin into a sleek walk-in stall creates a much more functional space for your home.
This simple change opens up your entire floor plan, giving you more room to move around without feeling cramped. You gain significant ease of use every single day by removing those unnecessary high edges.
Most older homes in Franklin County, GA, still feature those massive, heavy tubs that nobody actually uses for soaking anymore. Removing these bulky relics allows you to reclaim precious square footage in your smallest rooms.
You get a streamlined look that makes the whole area appear much larger than it really is. Since many folks in this region prefer efficiency, switching to a low-threshold stall makes perfect sense for your lifestyle.
Think about how much safer you will feel stepping directly into your washing area without the fear of tripping. Accidents happen fast, but a flat entry design practically eliminates the risk of a nasty slip.
Doing this work requires careful measurement and a solid plan to ensure everything fits perfectly against your existing walls. You want a durable finish that resists water damage while providing a nice sense of relaxation and ease.

Modernizing your wash space means you spend less time scrubbing grout and more time enjoying your day. Many older tubs have weird corners that trap dirt, but a custom-built stall features smooth, seamless surfaces for quick cleaning.
You might wonder if this project fits your budget, considering the median household income across this Georgia region. Fortunately, we offer a free estimate to show you exactly what to expect before we even touch your plumbing.

Often, you might worry that taking out the tub will hurt your property value, but most buyers actually prefer modern, accessible designs. A clean, updated wash area stands out much more than a cracked, outdated basin.
Perhaps you are concerned about the mess during the construction phase in your home. We cover your floors and clean up as we go, keeping your house tidy throughout the entire process.
Another worry involves plumbing changes that might hide behind your existing tiles. Our crew inspects the pipes thoroughly to make sure everything functions correctly once the new unit is installed in place.
Selecting the right materials determines how long your new setup stays looking sharp and fresh. You can choose from acrylic, stone composite, or custom tile work to match your personal style and preferences.
Each material offers different levels of durability and visual appeal for your bathroom. We help you pick the best option that balances your needs with the aesthetic you want for your private home oasis.
Doing this kind of work yourself often leads to leaks or structural issues that cost more to fix later. A professional installation gives you peace of mind that your plumbing connections and wall seals remain completely secure.
You save a massive amount of time when you hire someone who knows the common quirks of local houses. Plus, you get a warranty on the labor, which protects your investment against any unforeseen hiccups.
Every inch matters when you are working with a small room in your house. By getting rid of that giant basin, you free up space for storage cabinets or perhaps a wider vanity unit.
This spatial gain changes your routine from feeling confined to feeling open and airy. You will be surprised by how much bigger the room feels after we finish the transition from high-walled tub to low-profile stall.
Think about how your needs might change as you get older and want your home to stay accessible. Installing a barrier-free shower now ensures that you can remain in your current house for a long time.
This proactive approach saves you from having to do emergency renovations down the road when mobility becomes a bigger priority. It is a smart move that combines current utility with long-term planning for your personal residency.
Every bathroom has its own unique shape, so we take precise measurements before ordering a single part. This customization ensures that your new stall fits like a glove against your existing wall layout.
Whether you want fancy shower heads or integrated soap shelves, we incorporate your specific requests into the final design. Your satisfaction drives every step of our work, from the first measurement to the final polish.

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.
