If you are tired of stepping over a high ledge just to get clean every morning, swapping that old, dusty basin for a modern walk-in stall will change your life.
Actually, this smart home update saves you tons of cleaning time while making your daily routine much safer.
Now is the perfect time to explore how a local professional can transform your space without the stress of a massive renovation.
To start with, those massive porcelain basins take up a ridiculous amount of space in a tight room.
Which means you are constantly squeezing past the toilet just to reach the sink.
By removing that giant obstacle, you open up the entire floor plan and make the room feel twice as big.
Besides that, scrubbing those old curved corners is a total pain in the back.
This swap lets you install sleek, flat walls that you can wipe down in seconds.
Naturally, you get to spend your weekends relaxing instead of scraping soap scum off outdated tile grout.
On top of the easy maintenance, safety is a massive deal for many households in Prentiss County.
Statistics show that most home accidents happen right there on slippery wet porcelain.
Replacing that hazard with a low-profile entry point keeps you and your loved ones safe from nasty slips.
First, our team of local installers will carefully remove your existing cast iron or acrylic fixture.
This process requires a lot of muscle and some serious plumbing know-how to avoid damaging your walls.
We always check the underlying structure for hidden water damage before we place any new materials down.
Next, we handle all the tricky pipe adjustments to match your new layout.
Since the drain for a standing stall is positioned differently than a standard basin, we reroute the plumbing with precision.
This crucial step ensures that water flows away instantly without pooling around your ankles.
Finally, we install your custom slip-resistant base and gorgeous waterproof wall panels.
You can choose from a variety of styles that mimic high-end stone or classic subway tile.
These durable materials offer incredible longevity and a highly polished look that will make your neighbors jealous.
| Feature | Old Deep Basin | New Walk-In Stall |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Height | Usually 15 to 18 inches | Only 1 to 3 inches |
| Water Usage | Up to 50 gallons per use | Around 15 to 20 gallons |
| Floor Space Needed | Very bulky footprint | Highly customizable and compact |
| Cleaning Effort | Heavy scrubbing required | Quick wipe-down with mild soap |
Consequently, making this switch is a no-brainer for anyone looking to modernize their home on a budget.
You save money on your monthly utility bills because showers use significantly less hot water than filling up a giant pool.
That extra cash stays right in your wallet where it belongs.
In a cozy town like Marietta, Mississippi, where the median household income sits around $47,500, making smart investments in your property is incredibly important.
Every single dollar you spend on your house should add actual, tangible value.
Updating your wet area is one of the highest-yielding remodeling projects you can undertake.
If you ever decide to sell your home in the 38856 ZIP code area, potential buyers will fall in love with a modern walk-in setup.
Most modern buyers actually prefer a spacious, fast-access glass enclosure over a dusty old soaking tub they will never use.
This upgrade makes your property stand out in the local real estate market.
Furthermore, our small-town population of 248 residents deserves top-tier craftsmanship without big-city price markups.
We live and work right here in your community, so we care deeply about delivering honest, high-quality results.
We treat your home with the exact same respect we would show to our own families.
Initially, you might worry that a walk-in setup will look boring or sterile.
However, we offer an amazing selection of hardware finishes, including brushed nickel, matte black, and oil-rubbed bronze.
This variety lets you match your new fixtures with your existing vanity and light setups perfectly.
Additionally, we can install handy built-in features like corner shelves, shaving footrests, and heavy-duty grab bars.
These little additions provide incredible utility while keeping the space looking neat and organized.
You will finally have a dedicated spot for all your shampoos and body washes.
If you want extra luxury, we can even install a beautiful folding bench inside the enclosure.
This feature allows you to sit back and relax under the warm water after a long day of hard work.
It combines ultimate coziness with a smart design that does not crowd your standing area.
Perhaps you are tempted to try a DIY kit from a big-box store over the weekend.
Honestly, tackling plumbing modifications and waterproofing on your own often leads to disastrous leaks behind your walls.

Let us help you turn your dream bathroom into a reality!
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 Marietta 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.
