Are you tired of climbing over a high barrier just to wash up every single day? Replacing your old, clunky basin with a sleek walk-in option will instantly make your bathroom safer and much more spacious. We are here to help you pull off this incredible upgrade without any of the typical remodeling headaches.
Right off the bat, that old cast iron monster taking up half your washroom is not doing you any favors anymore. By swapping that dusty basin for a modern walk-in stall, you can finally reclaim your floor space. This lets you move around freely without stubbing your toes on the way to the sink.
Consequently, many folks in Hancock County are realizing that they simply do not have the time for long, soaking baths in their busy schedules. Since a quick splash is how most of us start our mornings, having a spacious floor-level stall makes total sense. You will save precious minutes every single day because you can just step in, get clean, and get on with your life.
On top of that, your old basin probably has some nasty grime hiding in the hard-to-reach corners. Upgrading to a flat, non-porous acrylic pan solves this headache instantly. This means you will spend way less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals.
First of all, stepping over a slippery twenty-inch ledge while balancing on one wet foot is basically an extreme sport. By choosing to eliminate this obstacle, you protect your household from nasty slips and painful falls. This is especially true for older adults or anyone dealing with stubborn knee pain.
To make things even better, our low-profile bases feature textured, slip-resistant bottoms that grip your feet securely. Which means you can wash up with total confidence and peace of mind. You will never have to worry about losing your footing on a slick surface again.
Naturally, we also install heavy-duty grab bars directly into the wall studs for extra stability. This lets you rest your weight safely whenever you need a little extra balance. It is all about making your daily routine as stress-free and safe as humanly possible.
For starters, you get to choose from a massive variety of beautiful wall surrounds and modern hardware finishes. Whether you love the look of classic subway tile or prefer a seamless, contemporary solid surface, we have options for every taste. This lets you design a space that looks like a high-end spa.
Besides the gorgeous aesthetics, we can add built-in recessed shelves and corner caddies for all your shampoo bottles. This keeps your soap off the floor and right at arm's reach. Your space will stay organized and completely clutter-free.
To help you compare the main options, here is a quick look at what we can customize for you:
| Feature Option | Daily Benefit for You | Maintenance Level |
|---|---|---|
| Low-threshold acrylic base | Super easy stepping, no tripping hazards | Very low, wipe and go |
| Built-in corner bench | Sit down safely while you wash your feet | Low, water-resistant |
| Sleek glass sliding doors | Keeps water inside and lets light flow through | Medium, squeegee recommended |
After selecting your favorite features, our team handles the rest of the heavy lifting. We ensure every single component fits together like a glove. You will end up with a gorgeous, personalized setup that works perfectly for your lifestyle.
Before we touch a single tile, our local crew comes out to measure your existing footprint down to the millimeter. This precise planning prevents any nasty surprises once the demolition actually begins. We respect your home and keep the dust to an absolute minimum.
Once we tear out the old cast iron or fiberglass shell, we inspect the subfloor for hidden water damage or rot. Fixing these structural issues early protects your home from mold and expensive future repairs. You can sleep easy knowing the foundation of your washroom is rock solid.
After that, our skilled installers reroute your drain lines and secure the new plumbing connections. This ensures your water drains away lightning fast without backing up. We use only high-grade copper and PEX lines to prevent any sneaky behind-the-wall leaks.

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 Lewisport 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.
