Now you can ditch that old bathing box and upgrade your home without losing your mind over messy renovations. This project lets you enjoy total safety and modern style every single day.
Maybe you wonder why everyone around here keeps ditching their old porcelain tubs for low-threshold shower stalls. Frankly that big bathtub takes up way too much space and nobody actually uses it for soaking anymore.

Getting your washing space upgraded might sound scary if you have never hired a contractor before. However our experienced local professionals handle everything from demolition to final cleanup with zero fuss.
First we carefully remove your old tub and haul away all the heavy debris so you do not lift a finger. This saves your back and keeps your living area clean throughout the entire messy process.
Next we inspect the subfloor and plumbing lines to make sure everything is completely solid and leak-free. By doing this we prevent costly water damage and protect your home investment for the long haul.
Selecting the right wall surrounds and shower pan makes a huge difference in how much time you spend cleaning. Acrylic and solid surface panels resist mold and mildew better than old-fashioned grout lines ever could.
Plus these modern materials never crack or fade even after years of daily hot water exposure. This lets you spend your weekends relaxing instead of scrubbing tile grout on your hands and knees.
Consider adding built-in seating or handy recessed soap niches to keep your shampoo bottles organized and within reach. Such thoughtful additions make your morning routine feel like a high-end luxury spa experience.
Wondering how long this entire bathroom renovation project takes from start to finish in your local area? Most standard conversions take only a few days to complete so you never go without a working bathroom for long.
Naturally you might also wonder about the plumbing connections behind your old tub walls during the swap. Our skilled technicians update those old pipes quickly to match modern shower valve requirements effortlessly.
Furthermore you can choose from dozens of stylish wall patterns and glass door options to match your exact taste. This personalization guarantees your newly updated washroom looks completely unique and stunning.
Old bathtubs often cause accessibility hurdles for older adults or anyone dealing with minor mobility issues at home. Modern step-in stalls eliminate those dangerous barriers and restore your daily independence completely.
To help you see the differences clearly check out this simple comparison table below:
| Feature | Old Bathtub | New Shower Stall |
|---|---|---|
| Safety | High step-over risk | Low threshold access |

| Space Usage | Bulky and restrictive | Open and airy feel |
Obviously the modern shower wins on almost every single count when you look at daily convenience and safety. Making this smart switch simply makes sense for any homeowner planning to stay put for years.
Before our crew arrives at your doorstep you only need to clear out your personal toiletries and towels. This lets our workers move freely and get straight to work without any obstacles in their way.
Meanwhile you can secure any family pets in a quiet room so they stay calm and safe from loud noises. Such simple preparations ensure the renovation goes as smoothly and quickly as humanly possible.
After we finish the installation our crew performs a rigorous multi-point inspection to guarantee absolute perfection. You get a spotless bathroom ready for immediate use before we pack up our tools and leave.
Upgrading your dated bathing area instantly boosts the overall resale value of your residential property in Texas. Prospective buyers love seeing a modern and accessible washing space rather than a stained old tub.

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.
