Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Maybe you feel tired of stepping over that high, dangerous barrier every single day just to wash up. This annoying daily obstacle takes up way too much space in your small room and makes your morning routine feel like an Olympic hurdle event. Fortunately, our local team can swap that bulky, outdated basin for a sleek, walk-in washing space that fits your life perfectly.
By making this smart upgrade, you instantly create a safer environment that feels twice as big as before. We come directly to your home in Navajo County to look at your setup and give you a complete, honest estimate without charging you a single dime. This hassle-free visit helps you plan your budget without any hidden surprises down the road.
Because we live and work nearby, we understand the specific housing styles and water conditions around the local area. Our crew focuses on fast, clean turnarounds so you do not have to live in a messy construction zone for weeks. Let us help you turn that dusty, unused soaking tub into a bright, easy-to-clean stall that you actually enjoy using every day.
First of all, old-school basins require a lot of maintenance and take up valuable square footage that could be better used for a spacious standing enclosure. When you transition to a modern setup, you get rid of those hard-to-reach corners where mold and mildew love to grow. This means you will spend way less time scrubbing on your knees with harsh chemicals.
In addition to saving your back, a low-threshold entryway drastically reduces the risk of slips and falls for everyone in your household. Which means your kids, guests, or aging parents can wash up with total peace of mind and independence. We install sturdy grab bars, built-in benches, and non-slip floors that blend beautifully with your style.
On top of that, we can complete most of these custom transformations in just a couple of days. This rapid process lets you get back to your normal routine quickly without the headaches of a massive, drawn-out home renovation. You get all the benefits of a luxury spa upgrade without the giant price tag or the endless dust clouds.
Before we start tearing anything out, our friendly technicians measure your existing layout down to the millimeter to ensure a flawless fit. This precision planning prevents leaks and guarantees that your new acrylic wall surrounds seal tightly against your drywall. We handle all the heavy lifting, from hauling away your heavy cast-iron relic to prepping the subfloor beneath it.
Once we clear the space, we inspect the underlying pipes to make sure you do not have hidden water damage or slow drains. This proactive step saves you from costly repairs in the future because we fix minor plumbing issues before installing the new base. After that, we position the new high-grade acrylic pan and connect your brand-new fixtures.
To give you a better idea of what to expect during this exciting home upgrade, we put together a simple breakdown of the main steps:
| Project Stage | What We Do For You | Direct Benefit To You |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Assessment | We measure your space and check your current plumbing lines. | You get an accurate, upfront price with zero hidden fees. |
| Demolition & Prep | Our crew carefully removes the old basin and strengthens the floor. | Your home stays clean and the structure remains solid. |
| Installation | We install the slip-resistant pan, waterproof walls, and fixtures. | You enjoy a leak-free, gorgeous stall that lasts for decades. |
Now, you might wonder if your current plumbing can handle this type of modern configuration. Our experienced installers adapt your drain lines and valve locations to match the new layout perfectly. This professional touch ensures excellent water pressure and fast drainage so you never stand in a pool of lukewarm water.
Because everyone has different tastes, we offer a wide variety of wall patterns, colors, and hardware finishes to choose from. You can select a classic subway tile look, a modern slate pattern, or a clean seamless wall that requires almost zero maintenance. This flexibility lets you match your new enclosure with the rest of your bathroom decor effortlessly.
Besides looking great, our durable materials resist chipping, cracking, and fading even after years of daily use. This high-end durability means your investment keeps its brilliant shine and value for a very long time. You will not have to worry about grout lines staining or crumbling ever again.
To make your daily routine even better, we can add custom corner caddies, floating shelves, and footrests for shaving. These convenient additions keep your shampoo bottles and soaps organized and off the floor. You get a clutter-free space that feels organized, peaceful, and highly functional.
While we love these transformations, we want to make sure you have all the facts before making a decision. For example, removing the only soaking basin in a home can sometimes affect resale value if you plan to sell soon to a family with toddlers. However, if you have a second bathroom with a basin, this modification actually increases your home's appeal to a wider range of buyers.
Another thing to consider is that standing stalls generally use less water than filling up a giant basin every night. This eco-friendly feature helps lower your monthly utility bills while also doing a small part for our dry desert environment. You save money while enjoying a warm, relaxing wash under a high-pressure rainfall showerhead.
On the flip side, the construction process does create some noise and temporary disruption in your home for a day or two. But our polite crew works fast, cleans up every speck of dust, and respects your privacy from start to finish. We treat your home with the same care and respect that we would treat our own grandmother's house.

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 Low Mountain 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.
