Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
You probably stare at that high, outdated tub wall every single morning and wonder why you keep climbing over it. Scraping your shins on old porcelain is no way to start the day. Changing that clunky basin into a walk-in stall gives you back your sanity and makes your bathroom feel twice as big.
Our professional crew visits your home to measure everything and hands you a free estimate on the spot. This means you get a clear price without any guessing games or hidden fees. We focus on swapping out those dusty old structures for sleek, accessible enclosures that fit your lifestyle perfectly.
Imagine stepping onto a flat, slip-resistant surface instead of balancing on a wet, curved slope. This upgrade removes a major tripping hazard from your daily routine. On top of that, it saves you from endless hours of scrubbing moldy grout lines.
Most folks do not realize how much space a traditional tub actually wastes in a small room. By removing that heavy cast iron or acrylic beast, you open up the entire layout. Which means you can finally move around without bumping your elbows on the walls.
This clever swap adds serious value to your property while making your home much safer. If you plan to stay in your house as you age, this change is a total lifesaver. It keeps you independent because you do not need help getting in and out of the water.
Our team handles the heavy lifting, from ripping out the old cast iron to installing the new waterproof pan. We seal every single corner with premium silicone to prevent any future leaks behind your drywall. This ensures your subfloor stays dry and rot-free for decades.
First, we carefully protect your floors and clear out the old bulky basin without damaging your surrounding walls. After that, we inspect the plumbing beneath to make sure your drain is in perfect working order. This prevents nasty surprises down the road when you least expect them.
Next, we upgrade the old drain pipe to a larger size to handle the fast flow of your new setup. Because of this, you will never have to stand in a pool of dirty water again. We also install solid wood blocking behind the walls so we can securely mount heavy-duty grab bars.
You can select from beautiful acrylic surrounds, durable tile, or seamless composite stone panels. Acrylic is fantastic because it lacks grout lines, which means you can clean it with a simple wipe. On the other hand, custom tile offers a timeless look that lets your personal style shine.
We help you pick the best fixtures, from rainfall showerheads to convenient handheld sprayers. These adjustable sprayers make cleaning the walls incredibly easy and help you wash your pets with zero hassle. We tailor every single detail to match your exact physical needs and design preferences.

Once we finalize your design, our skilled technicians arrive on time with all the necessary tools and supplies. We disconnect the old water lines safely without disrupting the plumbing in the rest of your house. This lets you go about your day while we do the noisy work.
After the old unit is gone, we level the subfloor to ensure your new base sits perfectly flat and drains correctly. If we find any hidden water damage or mold, we repair it immediately before moving forward. We never cover up rot because we want your home to stay structurally sound.

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 Mountain Home 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.
