Across Jackson 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.
Have you ever looked at that giant tub in your bathroom and realized you never actually use it for soaking? Many people living throughout the coastal region of Jackson County, Mississippi, find themselves stuck with an oversized porcelain relic that just takes up precious space.
Turning that underused basin into a sleek walk-in washing stall is a total game changer for your daily schedule. This simple change opens up your room while making the whole area feel way more open and modern.
Choosing to remove that clunky basin provides you with instant access to a much safer environment. When you get rid of high walls, you eliminate the dangerous step you have to take every single morning.
This upgrade significantly lowers your risk of slipping or falling while trying to climb over the edge. By switching to a low-entry basin, you gain total peace of mind every time you hop in for a quick rinse.
Living in a place like the Magnolia State means you probably want every inch of your house to be functional. Removing a standard five-foot tub gives you back a huge chunk of floor area that was previously occupied by nothing but air.
This extra room lets you install a larger vanity or even just keep the space feeling uncluttered. You will notice the difference the moment you walk through the door because the room will finally feel like a spa rather than a cramped utility closet.
Investing in your property is always a smart move for your future finances. Modernizing your wet space is one of the most effective ways to boost interest if you ever decide to list your house on the open market.
Most potential buyers nowadays prefer a clean walk-in area over a bulky tub that collects dust. You get to enjoy the visual appeal while you live there, and then you reap the rewards when it comes time to move on.
When you decide to start this project, you want everything to go as smoothly as possible. Our team comes out to your residence to look at your specific plumbing layout and measure your existing footprint.
We focus on making sure the drain pipes align perfectly with your new setup so you never have to worry about leaks. This attention to detail means your new stall will be ready to use much faster than you might think.
You should pick finishes that match your style while remaining easy to scrub down after a long day. We offer various wall surround options that mimic the look of expensive tile without the tedious upkeep of grout lines.
These high-quality acrylic panels stop water from seeping into your walls, which keeps your subfloor healthy for many years. You get the high-end visual appeal without the constant scrubbing that traditional tile requires.
Getting the slope of the floor just right is a massive part of the puzzle. If the water does not flow toward the drain, you end up with puddles that make a mess of your floor mats.
We ensure the pitch is perfect so your water stays exactly where it should. This type of precision work keeps your flooring dry and prevents moisture damage from creeping into your subfloor.
Operating in a region with such unique weather and humidity requires specific knowledge of how homes are built. We understand the local humidity levels common to the southern tip of the state and select moisture-resistant components to handle it.
Your home sits in a vibrant community, and we take pride in helping our neighbors improve their living conditions. We work quickly to minimize the disruption to your daily life because we know how much you value your time.
We believe in being upfront about costs and timelines from the very first meeting. When you invite us to your property, we evaluate the entire space to provide a clear picture of what the renovation entails.
This means you never have to deal with surprise fees or hidden charges halfway through the project. We want you to feel confident in the work we do, so we walk you through every single step of the plan.
Getting a custom quote for your specific bathroom layout is the best way to start this journey. You simply reach out to us and we will schedule a time to come by and discuss your vision.
We treat every project with the same level of respect and hard work we would apply to our own homes. There is no pressure to commit right away, as we want you to be completely satisfied with the proposed design.
People often worry that removing a tub will hurt their resale value, but the trend has shifted toward accessibility and convenience. Most families now prefer the speed of a quick shower over the time-consuming process of filling a tub.
If you have kids or pets, you might wonder if you will miss the tub, but there are plenty of workarounds available. Many homeowners find that a larger shower area makes bathing kids much easier than wrestling them into a slippery basin.
Upgrading to a seamless system means you spend less time cleaning and more time relaxing. Since these units lack the nooks and crannies where soap scum loves to hide, you can finish your weekly wipe-down in half the time.
This boost in efficiency gives you more freedom to do the things you actually enjoy. You deserve a house that works for you rather than one that forces you into endless chores.
Adding grab bars or a built-in seat is a fantastic way to ensure your space stays functional for years. Even if you do not need these features now, having them installed during the build is much cheaper than doing it later.
We make sure everything is reinforced behind the walls so these safety additions are rock solid. You get a space that supports you throughout every stage of your life without sacrificing the look of your room.
Living in a home that feels organized and updated truly changes your mental outlook. When your day starts in a beautiful, custom-designed stall, you feel more prepared to take on whatever challenges come your way.
We strive to create a sense of harmony in every project we tackle. Your bathroom should be a place where you can unwind, so we focus on making sure every feature serves a distinct purpose for your lifestyle.
We have spent years working on these types of conversions for folks living in the local ZIP codes. Our experience allows us to anticipate potential issues before they even start, which saves you from headaches later.
You benefit from our deep understanding of local building standards and design trends. We take care of the heavy lifting so you can simply enjoy the results of a beautifully transformed space.
You are one click away from reclaiming your space and upgrading your home. Let us help you plan the layout that makes the most sense for your floor plan and your budget.

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.
