Struggling with a high tub wall every morning can make your daily routine feel like a risky climbing expedition. You can easily upgrade your bathroom safety and style today with a modern, low-profile walk-in stall. Our local team offers free in-home estimates to help you plan this smart bathroom remodel without any hassle.
Maybe you are tired of scrubbing those hard-to-reach corners of your deep basin. Swapping that outdated basin for a sleek, glass-enclosed step-in setup will instantly modernize the entire space. This change creates an open feel that makes even a small bathroom look twice as big.
Naturally, you might worry about the mess and time a remodel takes. Our experienced crew works fast to minimize disruption in your home. We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on choosing your new tile patterns.
Actually, many homeowners find that they rarely take full baths anyway. Trading that unused basin for a spacious stall aligns your home with how you actually live. You get more floor space and a much cleaner look instantly.
On top of that, we customize every single project to fit your specific layout. We measure your existing space down to the millimeter to ensure a perfect fit. This precision prevents leaks and saves you money on future repairs.
Consequently, you will enjoy a brighter and more functional room every single day. No more staring at outdated porcelain or cracked grout lines. Your morning routine will feel like a visit to a high-end spa.
Safety should always come first when you plan a home renovation. High barrier walls present a serious tripping hazard for children and older adults alike. By installing a low-threshold basin instead, you eliminate the need to balance on one foot while wet.
This means you can age in place gracefully without worrying about your independence. We can install sturdy grab bars and built-in benches that blend beautifully with your design. Safety does not mean you have to sacrifice the overall visual appeal of your space.
Furthermore, slip-resistant flooring options keep you safe and secure on your feet. We offer textured pans that provide excellent traction even when soapy water covers the surface. You get peace of mind with every single shower you take.
| Feature | Immediate Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Low-Step Threshold | Prevents tripping and makes entering the stall effortless. |
| Slip-Resistant Flooring | Provides maximum traction to keep you safe on wet surfaces. |
| Integrated Seating | Allows you to sit down comfortably and enjoy a relaxing wash. |
| Custom Grab Bars | Offers extra stability without making your bathroom look clinical. |
Additionally, modern barrier-free entries allow wheelchair access if you ever need it. Planning ahead like this protects the value of your property over the long haul. You make your home welcoming for everyone who visits.
To achieve this, we use only high-quality acrylics and natural stone materials. These surfaces resist mold and mildew growth naturally. You spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemicals.

Eventually, you will see how a simple layout change transforms your entire daily outlook. Stepping into a beautiful, clean space starts your morning on a positive note. You deserve a home that works for you, not against you.
Our professional crew starts by carefully removing your old iron or acrylic basin. We inspect the underlying subfloor and plumbing pipes for any hidden water damage. This crucial step ensures that your new setup sits on a rock-solid foundation.
After that, we update the drain location to accommodate the new configuration. Since stalls require larger drains than tubs, we update the plumbing to prevent pooling water. This ensures rapid drainage and a drier bathroom floor.
Then, we install the waterproof backing boards and the heavy-duty pan securely. We seal every seam with commercial-grade silicone to guarantee a completely watertight barrier. You will never have to worry about water leaking into your walls or ceilings.
Finally, we install your chosen wall panels, fixtures, and custom glass doors. We clean up our workspace thoroughly before we present the finished project to you. You can start enjoying your gorgeous new wash space in just a couple of days...
So, why wait any longer to upgrade your home and improve your daily comfort? Our friendly team is ready to visit your home and provide a comprehensive project assessment. Request your free quote today and take the first step toward the bathroom of your dreams.
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 Point Place 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.
