Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Maybe you feel tired of stepping over that high, slippery wall every single morning just to wash up. Stepping into a low-barrier stall instead of climbing into a deep basin makes your daily routine much safer and faster. Because of this simple change, you can finally stop worrying about slips and enjoy your morning routine again.
Actually, many homes in our quiet corner of Saint Landry Parish still have those outdated, deep cast-iron basins that nobody actually takes baths in anymore. This means you are wasting precious square footage on a dusty basin you only use to stand in while showering anyway. By swapping that old fixture for a spacious, modern walk-in setup, you instantly open up the entire room.
Our local team specializes in tearing out those bulky, unused basins and replacing them with beautiful, leak-free walk-in enclosures. We come right to your house to measure your space and give you a honest, zero-obligation estimate. To get started on your project, you can easily request a free quote from us today.
First of all, safety is the biggest reason local homeowners ask us to remodel their washing spaces. Those tall basin edges present a major tripping hazard for kids and older folks alike. When you replace that high barrier with a low-profile pan, you make the space accessible for everyone in the family.
On top of that, cleaning a flat, modern wall surround is a thousand times easier than scrubbing old porcelain grime. You will spend way less time on your knees with harsh chemicals because our modern materials resist mold growth. This lets you spend your weekends relaxing instead of scrubbing dirty grout lines.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick look at how these two setups match up:
| Feature | Old High-Walled Basin | Modern Low-Barrier Stall |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Height | 14 to 18 inches to step over | 3 to 5 inches (very low step) |
| Cleaning Effort | High (requires deep scrubbing) | Low (simple wipe-down walls) |
| Floor Space | Feels cramped and narrow | Feels open and spacious |
Naturally, your home is your castle, so you want it to look beautiful and function perfectly for your lifestyle. By choosing a sleek, modern pan with custom wall panels, you create a gorgeous focal point that increases your property value. Which means you get a gorgeous room to enjoy now, plus a great selling point for the future.
Perhaps you worry that remodeling your bathroom will turn into a messy, month-long nightmare that ruins your schedule. Fortunately, our experienced crew has perfected this specific swap so we can often finish the job in just a couple of days. We protect your floors, work fast, and clean up every speck of dust before we leave.
First, we carefully remove the old, heavy basin without damaging the surrounding drywall or your existing plumbing lines. Next, we inspect the subfloor underneath to ensure there is no hidden water damage or wood rot. This crucial step prevents future leaks and guarantees a rock-solid foundation for your new setup.
After that, we install the new slip-resistant base and run the updated drain lines to match the new configuration. Then, we fit the beautiful, waterproof wall panels and secure your brand-new fixtures. This lets you use your brand-new wash space almost immediately without waiting weeks for grout to dry.
Now, you get to choose the fun details like built-in seating, grab bars, and beautiful modern showerheads. Adding a sturdy bench gives you a cozy spot to relax while you wash. These smart additions combine incredible peace of mind with everyday utility.
Besides those safety features, you can also select custom shelves and caddies to keep your shampoos organized. No more knocking over bottles balanced on narrow ledges! This means everything you need stays right at arm's reach.
To match your personal style, we offer a wide variety of wall designs that look exactly like real stone or tile. You get the gorgeous look of marble without any of the heavy maintenance or sealing requirements. It is truly the best of both worlds for busy homeowners.
Additionally, you can choose between sleek sliding glass doors or a classic open-concept curtain design. Glass doors make small rooms feel twice as big by letting light flow freely through the space. This simple choice completely changes the vibe of your entire bathroom.

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 Morrow 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.
