Maybe you feel tired of stepping over that high, slippery ledge every single morning just to wash off. That giant porcelain basin takes up your entire bathroom footprint and barely gets used for actual soaking anymore. By swapping that outdated setup for a spacious, modern walk-in stall, you instantly reclaim your floor space and make your daily routine much safer.
This smart upgrade breathes new life into cramped quarters. We see so many homeowners who struggle with outdated layouts in Jenkins County, where older homes often feature bulky, yellowed basins that have seen better days. Transitioning to a low-profile entry point means you will no longer have to perform a balancing act on wet tile.
Our friendly local team loves helping folks find their footing again. We travel right to your door to evaluate your current setup and layout. You can easily grab a free estimate today to see how simple this transformation really is for your home.
Think about how much water you waste trying to fill a massive basin. A modern stall uses less resources while providing a much more open feel. Which means your utility bills might actually look a bit friendlier next month.
Cleaning a deep, curved basin requires you to get down on your hands and knees. That sort of physical strain gets old incredibly fast. On the other hand, non-porous acrylic walls only require a quick wipe down with a squeegee to stay sparkling clean.
This change also adds massive value to your property. Most modern home buyers actually prefer a spacious stall over a dusty old soaking basin they will never use. Thus, you are investing in your own daily ease while boosting your eventual resale price.
First, we carefully protect your floors before touching a single piece of your existing plumbing fixture. Our crew treats your property with the utmost respect. This ensures no stray debris or dust messes up your hallway.
Next, we disconnect the drain lines and gently extract the heavy cast iron or fiberglass structure. Sometimes these old monsters are incredibly heavy. We do all the heavy lifting so your back does not have to suffer.
Then, we inspect the wood framing underneath for any hidden water damage or mold. If we spot weak subflooring, we repair it immediately. This step guarantees your new foundation remains rock solid for decades to come.
Finally, we install your choice of slip-resistant bases and custom wall panels. We seal every joint with high-grade silicone. You get a watertight system that looks incredibly sharp and modern.
To help you visualize the choices, here is a quick breakdown of popular styles we install:
| System Type | Main Advantage | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Low-Barrier Pan | Super easy entry | Aged adults and busy families |
| Barrier-Free Roll-In | Zero threshold transition | Wheelchair access and safety |
| Corner Neo-Angle | Saves maximum square footage | Very small guest bathrooms |
You do not have to settle for a boring, sterile look when updating your wet area. We offer gorgeous wall patterns that mimic natural stone or classic subway tile. This lets you match your existing decor perfectly without the high cost of real marble.
Adding convenient built-in shelving keeps your shampoos and soaps off the floor. No more tripping over plastic bottles while you wash. Everything stays right at arm's reach where it belongs.
We can also install sturdy grab bars that blend beautifully with your hardware. These safety features no longer look like cold hospital equipment. They come in brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and modern matte black to match your style.
Living in a quiet community of about 225 people means you deserve personalized service from neighbors who care. We understand the unique charm of this area, which sits in the 30822 ZIP code. Our goal is to bring big-city quality right to your doorstep with down-to-earth pricing.
Since the median household income here requires smart budgeting, we make sure our solutions are highly cost-effective. We do not believe in pushy sales tactics or hidden fees. What we quote is exactly what you pay.
Our team works efficiently to finish the project in just a couple of days. This means you will not have to live in a dusty construction zone for weeks on end. We keep our workspace tidy so you can enjoy your home.
Most projects take between one and three days from demo to final seal. We work quickly because we know having your main bathroom out of commission is a hassle. Our crew stays on-site until the job is fully complete.
We highly recommend upgrading your internal valves while the walls are open. Installing new pressure-balancing hardware prevents sudden temperature shocks when someone else flushes a toilet. This simple addition keeps your showers safe and enjoyable.
Absolutely, because we use slip-resistant textured flooring on every single base we install. Kids actually find it much easier to step into a shallow pan than climbing over a tall wall. It makes bath time safer for the whole family.

We use premium materials that resist chips, cracks, and stubborn mildew growth. This means you spend your weekends relaxing instead of scrubbing grout lines with an old toothbrush. It is the ultimate low-maintenance solution.

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 Perkins 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.
