Across Shannon County, bathtubs that retired years ago give way to showers built in their own footprint.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
You probably stare at that giant porcelain basin in your bathroom and wonder why you keep it around. Transforming that bulky tub into a sleek walk-in stall gives you extra room and makes your morning routine feel like a breeze.
Getting rid of the high walls means you stop tripping over the edge while trying to get clean. This simple change drastically improves the ease of access in your primary washroom.
Most folks in Shannon County realize that traditional tubs just take up too much floor space. By removing that heavy clunker, you create a layout that feels much more open and airy.
Because these units are often hard to clean, getting rid of them saves you hours of scrubbing grout lines every weekend. You deserve a space that offers pure tranquility instead of constant maintenance work.
Initially, we arrive at your house to measure the area and listen to what you want. We pull out the old basin carefully to make sure we do not damage your tile or plumbing lines.
Then, we install a waterproof membrane that keeps your walls dry for many years. This step is vital because it protects your home from hidden water damage or mold growth.
After the base is set, we add custom wall panels that mimic the look of natural stone or tile. You get the beauty of high-end materials without the massive price tag or the nightmare of constant upkeep.
Finally, we install your new fixtures like a rainfall head or hand-held sprayers. You will immediately notice how much faster you can get ready when your setup is streamlined.
Increasing the value of your property starts with making smart updates to the most used rooms. Potential buyers really love seeing updated fixtures and walk-in systems when they look at homes in our beautiful neck of the woods.
Beyond the resale appeal, you save money on water usage since showers typically consume less volume than filling a full tub. That adds up to lower monthly utility bills for you and your family.
You might think it costs a fortune, but we keep our overhead low to pass those savings on to you. We provide a clear estimate right at the start so you know exactly what to expect.

Replacing a deep basin requires moving the drain position to match the new floor layout. We handle all the heavy lifting so you never have to worry about complex plumbing or pipe work.
Our team ensures that the slope of your new floor is perfect for drainage. Proper pitch keeps water heading where it belongs rather than pooling in the corners of your room.
On top of that, we use high-grade silicone sealants to lock out moisture permanently. This creates a secure environment that feels like a slice of heaven every time you step inside.
Selecting the finish for your walls is the fun part of this entire journey. You can pick from glossy white panels, textured stone patterns, or modern subway tile looks.
Most of our customers prefer non-porous materials that resist soap scum and hard water stains. This choice gives you more time to relax instead of spending your life fighting against grime.
Check out this table to compare common material types for your upcoming project.
| Material Type | Key Benefit | Upkeep Level |
| Acrylic | Affordable and durable | Very low |
| Solid Surface | Seamless look | Minimal effort |
| Tile Panels | Classic style | Requires sealing |

Doing this job right requires a deep understanding of how water moves through walls. If you skip steps, you end up with leaks that rot your floor joists from the inside out.

Nothing beats the satisfaction of knowing your project was finished with high standards. You gain a space that offers pure serenity and a much better flow for your morning routine.
Many homeowners worry about the mess that comes with ripping out old plumbing fixtures. We use heavy plastic sheeting and drop cloths to keep your floor and furniture protected.

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 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.
