Our Hermann crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Gasconade County within days.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Do you ever stare at your bulky, outdated soaking basin and dream of something sleek? We can help you ditch that clunky tub for a streamlined walk-in area that makes every morning feel like a luxury escape.
Most homeowners in our lovely Gasconade County town find that their old tubs just collect dust. This change clears up space and makes your daily routine feel way more open and breezy.
When you switch out that high-walled tub, you gain so much floor area for moving around. This extra room means you won't bump your elbows or feel trapped while washing your hair anymore.
Think about how much safer you will feel without having to climb over a slick, tall porcelain wall. This simple switch gives you total peace of mind and keeps your footing steady every single day.
Living in a town of 2,422 people means we really care about keeping our homes looking sharp and updated. Improving your wet room adds value to your property that potential buyers will notice instantly.
Even with a median household income around $48,194, you can find a way to make this project fit your budget. It is a smart investment that pays off by making your home feel much more inviting.
Because we know the area well, we understand that you want high quality work without any unnecessary delays. This local focus ensures that your upgrade flows smoothly from the first measurement to the finished tile work.
Before we start swinging hammers, we need to look at how your plumbing currently sits under the floorboards. Most houses in this beautiful Missouri zip code share similar layouts, which makes planning your new space quite straightforward.
Once we remove that old, heavy tub, we find a blank slate to build the custom area you deserve. This stage lets us install modern drainage solutions that handle water flow way better than the old setup ever could.
You get to pick out the wall surrounds, the glass doors, and the hardware that fits your personal sense of style. We love seeing how different choices can change the vibe of a room from dull to totally refreshing.
Selecting high-quality acrylic or stone surfaces ensures that your new space stays looking fresh for many years to come. These materials resist grime and mildew, which means you spend less time scrubbing and more time relaxing.
If you prefer a natural stone look, we can help you pick tiles that offer a sturdy and slip-resistant floor. This feature adds a touch of pure relaxation and makes your home feel like a high-end hotel suite.
| Feature | Primary Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Low entry threshold | Greater accessibility for everyone | |
| Glass enclosure | More light and open space | |
| Non-slip flooring | Better safety during your daily wash | |
| Modern fixtures | Higher water pressure and style |
After the demo is done, our crew focuses on waterproofing the entire perimeter to protect your subfloor from moisture. This hidden step is absolutely vital because it prevents any future leaks from damaging your home structure.
Next, we install the base, which must be perfectly level to ensure proper drainage while you are standing inside. We take our time here because a slightly crooked base causes big headaches later on.
Then we move to the wall panels or tiling work that creates the finished look you want. We use premium sealants that block out water and keep your walls looking pristine for a very long time.
Finally, we install your choice of rainfall heads, adjustable wands, or built-in benches to meet your exact needs. These small additions turn a simple area into a place of true repose where you can wash away a long day.
We always clean up after ourselves so you can start using your brand new space as soon as possible. You should never have to deal with a mess after a major project is completed in your house.
If you find yourself avoiding your current setup, it is probably time to make a shift toward something more functional. A bathroom should be a place where you feel at ease and not stressed by outdated features.
Think about how much faster you can get ready in the morning when you have a direct walk-in entry. This efficiency saves you precious time and makes your routine feel way more manageable than it used to be.
Furthermore, these modern enclosures often look much larger than the heavy tubs they replace. You gain a sense of airiness that makes even the smallest bathroom feel like a much more expansive space.
Some people worry that they will miss their soaking time, but most folks find they prefer the quickness of a shower. If you really love a good soak, you can still add a deep basin or a foot spa to your home later.
Others worry about the cost, but we work hard to keep our prices fair for everyone in our community. We provide a clear estimate upfront so you know exactly what to expect before we begin any work.
When you decide that you are ready for a transformation, just reach out to us for a chat about your vision. We love coming out to see your space, listening to your ideas, and offering our honest thoughts on what works best.
Requesting a free estimate is the best way to get the ball rolling without any pressure to sign anything immediately. We want you to feel comfortable and informed so you can make the right choice for your family.
This process starts with a simple conversation where we measure your space and discuss your budget and design goals. After that, we provide a written quote that breaks everything down into simple terms you can understand easily.

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 Hermann 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.
