Maybe you feel tired of climbing over that high porcelain wall every single morning just to get washed.
Honestly, many of us rarely take actual baths anymore because our busy schedules do not allow for a long soak.
Swapping that bulky basin for a spacious walk-in stall makes your daily routine faster and much safer.
This smart home upgrade instantly opens up your bathroom layout.
By removing the old iron or acrylic tub, you gain precious floor space.
Suddenly, your small washroom feels twice as large and far more practical for everyday life.
Our local team specializes in tearing out these outdated fixtures to install beautiful, modern tile or composite bases.
We travel right to your home in Northern Colorado to measure your space and discuss your ideas.

Stepping over a high ledge with wet feet is a recipe for a nasty slip.
Installing a low-profile basin instead removes this hazard entirely.
Which means you can wash with peace of mind, especially if you plan to age in place.
On top of that, cleaning a flat glass surround is much easier than scrubbing grime off a deep curved basin.
You will spend less time on your knees with harsh chemicals.
This change gives you back your weekends and saves your aching back too.
To help you compare the two setups, let us look at how they stack up in daily use:
| Feature | Old High-Wall Basin | Modern Low-Step Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Safety Level | High trip risk | Very secure and accessible |
| Cleaning Effort | Hard on your knees | Quick wipe down |
| Floor Space | Cramped and bulky | Open and airy feeling |
Clearly, the modern low-step option wins for daily usability and safety.
If you are ready to make the switch, we are happy to visit your home and map out a custom plan.
Our friendly crew loves helping folks upgrade their homes without any stress.
Selecting the right materials for your new stall is where the fun really begins.
You can choose sleek acrylic surrounds for a low-maintenance look.
Or you might prefer gorgeous ceramic tile that adds real value to your property.
Besides the walls, you get to pick stylish fixtures like rain showerheads or handheld sprayers.
These options let you create a spa-like retreat right in your own home.
We can even install built-in benches and sturdy grab bars for extra support.
Every home has different plumbing needs, so we inspect your pipes before we start any demolition.
This careful planning prevents unexpected leaks down the road.
We want your new setup to function perfectly for decades to come.
Choosing a barrier-free entryway is ideal for anyone with mobility challenges.
This seamless transition allows wheelchair access if you ever need it.
It also looks incredibly modern and high-end.
Alternatively, a tiny two-inch curb keeps water contained perfectly while still being very easy to step over.
We help you weigh these design choices during our initial consultation.
Our goal is to match your budget with your physical needs.
Grout lines in old bathrooms often attract mold and mildew like crazy.
Opting for solid-surface panels eliminates those pesky joints entirely.
This means your walls stay bright and clean with just a simple squeegee wipe.
However, if you love the classic look of traditional tile, we use high-quality sealants to protect the grout.
We ensure every corner is completely waterproofed.
You get the gorgeous look you want without the future water damage headaches.
Our team handles the entire project from the initial teardown to the final cleanup.
We carefully protect your floors and carpets while we haul away your heavy old cast-iron fixture.
You do not have to lift a finger or worry about the mess.
After clearing the space, we inspect the subfloor for any hidden rot or water damage.
Fixing these issues early protects the structural integrity of your home.
Next, we reroute the drain plumbing to line up perfectly with your new center-drain pan.
Finally, we install the wall panels, hook up your new fixtures, and seal every single seam.
We work quickly to minimize the disruption to your daily routine.
Most of our projects are completed in just a few days.

Your dream bathroom is just a quick message away!
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 Pierce 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.
