To start with, those old-fashioned cast iron basins take up an absolute mountain of space in a standard bathroom layout. Since most people rarely have time to sit and soak for hours, that giant vessel just sits there gathering dust and soap scum. By removing it, you unlock precious square footage that makes your whole bathroom feel twice as big.
Consequently, you will notice that cleaning becomes a total breeze because you no longer have to bend down and scrub those annoying, hard-to-reach corners. Instead, you get flat, non-porous wall panels and a low-profile pan that wipes down in just seconds. This means you get to spend your weekends relaxing rather than scrubbing grout line after grout line on your hands and knees.
On top of that, we always install high-quality slip-resistant floors to keep you and your family safe from nasty falls. Which means you can step in and out with total confidence, even if your balance is not quite what it used to be. Truly, this simple layout swap is the single best way to modernise your home while adding serious everyday utility.
When you look at the numbers, a full bathroom remodel can cost an absolute fortune and take weeks of messy construction. Fortunately, our specialized service focuses only on the wet area, which keeps your costs incredibly low and saves your sanity. This lets you get a gorgeous, high-end look without having to live through a massive, dusty home renovation project.

Now, you might think all walk-in stalls look the same, but we offer a mind-blowing variety of design options. For instance, you can choose from gorgeous stone-patterned wall surrounds, built-in seating, and stylish grab bars that look incredibly modern. This lets you customize every single detail so your new setup matches your personal taste perfectly.
Besides that, we can add recessed storage niches to hold all your shampoos, soaps, and body washes without cluttering up the floor. This keeps your new space looking incredibly neat, organized, and tidy at all times. Ultimately, you get a tailor-made space that feels like a private oasis right inside your own home.
Additionally, we offer beautiful glass doors that slide open effortlessly or classy curtain rods if you prefer a softer look. Whichever style you choose, our expert installers make sure everything fits together tightly to prevent any annoying water leaks. You will absolutely love how much brighter and more inviting your bathroom looks once the job is done.
Perhaps you are worried that your home will be a total disaster zone for weeks while we do the work. Actually, our experienced crew has this process down to a science, often wrapping up the main installation in just a couple of days. This minimizes the disruption to your daily life so you can get back to your normal routine in no time.
First, we carefully protect your floors and walls before we even touch a single tool in your home. Next, we gently remove the old, heavy basin and inspect the underlying pipes to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. This ensures that you will not have to worry about hidden leaks or water damage down the road.
After that, we install the brand-new plumbing fixtures, the heavy-duty base pan, and the beautiful waterproof wall panels. Finally, we clean up every single speck of dust and debris, leaving your home absolutely spotless and ready to use. You do not have to lift a single finger because we handle all the heavy lifting from start to finish.
If you ever plan on selling your home, having a modern walk-in stall is a huge selling point for buyers. Most house hunters today actively look for homes that do not require immediate, costly bathroom renovations. Therefore, this upgrade actually puts money back into your pocket by boosting your overall property value.
Furthermore, older buyers and people with limited mobility will find your home much more appealing and accessible. This means your property will stand out in the competitive real estate market when the time comes to sell. Even if you plan on staying forever, you get to enjoy the daily convenience and charm of a modern bathroom layout.

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 Orient Point 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.
