By making this simple switch, you instantly create a more open feel in your daily washroom.

Actually, most busy folks nowadays realize they do not have the time for long, sitting soaks anymore.
If you want to reclaim your floor area and enjoy a breezy washing experience, we can help.
Our crew specializes in removing those heavy cast-iron or acrylic obstacles and installing beautiful, low-profile bases.
We invite you to reach out to us today to request a free estimate for your upcoming home improvement project.
Think about how much safer your morning routine becomes when you remove a major tripping hazard.
As time goes on, balancing on one wet foot while climbing out of a deep basin gets downright sketchy.
Which means a low-threshold entry gives you peace of mind and keeps you independent in your own home.
On top of that, these modern setups are incredibly easy to keep clean and sparkling.
You will spend far less time scrubbing grime out of hard-to-reach corners and deep recess walls.
This lets you enjoy your weekends instead of fighting stubborn soap scum on your hands and knees.
To help you compare the two options, we put together a quick breakdown of how they stack up:
| Feature | Old High-Walled Basin | Modern Low-Step Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Usually 14 to 18 inches high | Typically 3 inches or less |
| Water Usage | High volume needed to fill | Efficient drainage and flow |
| Floor Space Illusion | Bulky and crowds the room | Opens up visual lines |
| Maintenance | Hard on your back to scrub | Simple wipe-down surfaces |
Clearly, the benefits of modernizing your layout go far beyond simple aesthetics.
Now, you can turn a cramped, outdated corner into a bright oasis that feels like a private spa.
Our local installers handle the heavy demolition and plumbing adjustments so you do not have to lift a finger.
When we design your new setup, you get to choose from a massive variety of wall surrounds and fixtures.
This means you can match your existing decor or completely reinvent the style of your washroom.
Whether you prefer classic subway tile patterns or seamless acrylic panels, we have got you covered.
Because we care about your long-term satisfaction, we only use durable, non-porous materials that resist mold.
Imagine never having to worry about mildew growing in cracked grout lines ever again!
These high-tech surfaces retain their beautiful luster for decades without requiring heavy chemical sealers.
Besides the walls, we can install handy built-in features like floating shelves, corner caddies, and sturdy grab bars.
This custom touch ensures all your shampoos and body washes stay organized and right at arm's reach.
We design every detail around your physical height and daily habits to ensure maximum usability.
Many people worry that adding grab bars or seating will make their washroom look like a cold hospital ward.
Fortunately, modern safety accessories come in gorgeous finishes like matte black, brushed nickel, and polished chrome.
This ensures your space looks incredibly stylish while still providing the physical support you need as you age.
Furthermore, slip-resistant textured floors come standard on almost every modern base we install.
This gritty yet comfortable texture prevents dangerous slips when the floor gets soapy and slick.
You can step in with absolute confidence, knowing your footing is secure from the moment you turn on the water.
One detail that often gets overlooked is how the old drain line connects to the new pan.
Since basins use smaller waste pipes, our team often widens the drain line to prevent standing water issues.
This crucial step ensures rapid drainage so you never find yourself ankle-deep in dirty water during a quick rinse.
Additionally, we inspect the subfloor beneath your old unit for any hidden water damage or wood rot.
If we find soft spots, we repair them immediately to create a rock-solid foundation for your new setup.
This thorough approach prevents future leaks that could ruin the ceiling of the room directly below your washroom.

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 Roseland 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.
