Because you deserve a safer and more spacious setup, our local team specializes in these quick bathroom transformations. This means you get a fresh look without the nightmare of a full-scale renovation. You will finally enjoy a bright, open space that makes your morning routine feel like a breeze.

Think about how much room that old cast-iron or acrylic beast actually takes up in your small washroom. By removing it, you unlock a massive amount of floor space that immediately makes the entire room feel twice as large. Consequently, you get more physical freedom of movement and a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic.
On top of that, safety is a huge deal for homeowners who plan to stay in their properties long-term. Slipping on wet curved surfaces causes thousands of home accidents every single year. Removing that hazard gives you peace of mind because you can step onto a flat, slip-resistant pan instead.
This layout upgrade also boosts your property value because modern home buyers actively look for walk-in stalls. Since very few people actually take long baths these days, a quick-access wash station is highly desirable. Which means your investment pays off both in daily comfort and future resale potential.
Now, you might wonder how we handle the existing plumbing footprint during this type of remodel. Our skilled crew modifies your current drain system to handle the rapid water flow of a spacious stall. We always install a larger two-inch drain pipe to prevent any pooling around your feet.
Furthermore, we inspect the hidden wooden studs behind your wet walls for any signs of mold or rot. Since older homes often suffer from slow water leaks, we fix these structural issues before mounting your new wall surrounds. This ensures your new setup remains solid and leak-free for decades.
| Feature of the Upgrade | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| Low-profile threshold | Easy entry with almost zero tripping hazard |
| Acrylic wall surrounds | Super simple cleaning with no grout lines to scrub |
| Integrated seating & grab bars | Maximum stability and relaxation while you wash |
When we design your new walk-in oasis, we offer several high-quality materials to fit your budget and style. For instance, solid-surface panels offer a luxury stone look without the heavy maintenance of real marble. This lets you enjoy a high-end feel while keeping your cleaning time down to absolute zero.
Alternatively, high-tech acrylic surrounds are incredibly popular because they resist scratch marks and yellowing over time. These non-porous walls prevent soap scum and hard water from sticking to the surface. As a result, a simple wipe down with a microfiber cloth keeps everything looking brand new.
If you prefer a classic look, we can also install beautiful ceramic or porcelain tiles with waterproof grout. This option gives you endless design choices to match the unique character of your home. No matter your preference, we help you pick the best materials during your free home consultation.
To make your daily wash even better, we can add custom features like built-in corner caddies and shaving ledges. This keeps your shampoos and soaps organized and off the floor. Which means you will never have to bend down or reach awkwardly while soapy.
Additionally, we can mount stylish, heavy-duty grab bars directly into the wall studs for maximum support. Do not worry, these modern bars look like sleek designer hardware rather than cold hospital fixtures. You get the perfect blend of safety and visual appeal without compromising on style.
First, our friendly local crew arrives on time and carefully preps your home to protect your floors. We lay down protective runners from your front door all the way to your bathroom. This keeps your carpets and hardwoods completely clean and free of dust during the demolition phase.
Next, we carefully extract your old bulky tub and dispose of all the heavy debris for you. We then upgrade the plumbing valves and install your chosen pan with precision leveling. Because we work efficiently, we often complete the entire transformation in just a couple of days.
Finally, we seal every single joint with high-grade silicone sealant to guarantee a completely watertight finish. We do a thorough cleanup and walk you through the finished project to ensure you are totally in love with it. You can start using your beautiful new walk-in wash area almost immediately.

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 Greenville 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.
