Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Updating your outdated bathing basin into a sleek walk-in stall changes your daily routine for the better. You gain so much more floor space while making your home feel much more open and accessible.
Everything about this upgrade revolves around ditching that clunky, high-walled tub you never actually use anyway. By swapping it out, you stop worrying about tripping over wet porcelain edges every single morning.
This renovation project offers you the perfect chance to modernize your living space in a way that just makes sense. Whether you live in a rural spot or a cozy house in the heart of South Dakota, this change brings a sense of ease to your life.
Most homeowners eventually realize that a giant soaking tub is just a dust collector. You probably find yourself standing in the corner of that tub anyway just to get clean under the spray.
Choosing to remove the basin allows you to install a spacious area for rinsing off that feels like a high-end getaway. This choice improves the usability of your bathroom instantly while keeping the room feeling airy and bright.
Beyond that, you increase the future value of your house because most buyers prefer a modern stall over an old, bulky tub. You get to enjoy the benefits right now while building equity for whenever you decide to move on.
First, our team carefully removes the old fixture without wrecking your existing wall tiles or flooring. Then, we prepare the plumbing lines to ensure your new spray system works exactly how you want it to every day.
Next, we install a waterproof base that keeps your bathroom floor dry and protected from leaks. This base provides a stable foundation so you can step inside without any fear of slipping or uneven surfaces.
Finally, we finish the walls with beautiful panels or tiles that match your personal style perfectly. This transition makes your bathroom feel like a peaceful retreat where you can relax after a long day of work.
Living in a county like this one means you value your space and want things to work well. Even if the population is sparse or the area feels quiet, your home remains the most important place you spend your time.
When you invest in your property here, you ensure that your house stays functional for the long haul. You deserve a bathroom that fits your needs today rather than one that was built decades ago.
Since the median household income varies across the region, we always work to provide options that fit your specific budget. We believe that everyone deserves a high level of comfort and utility in their primary bathroom.
| Benefit | Result |
| Low threshold entry | Reduced fall risk |
| Modern wall systems | Easy maintenance |
| Improved layout | More room to move |
You might worry about the plumbing connections hidden behind those old walls. However, our team checks everything during the initial visit to ensure no surprises pop up later on.
Using high-quality materials means you won't have to deal with peeling grout or moldy corners ever again. These modern wall panels resist moisture naturally, which saves you hours of scrubbing every month.
By choosing a professional install, you get a watertight finish that stays strong for many years. You can rest easy knowing that your investment is protected by a solid foundation and great craftsmanship.
Before we start, take a look at your current bathroom layout to see what you really want. Maybe you want a built-in bench for sitting down while you scrub your feet or a niche for your soaps.
Sharing these ideas with us helps us create a design that makes you happy every single morning. We listen to your goals so we can translate them into a reality that feels custom-made for your lifestyle.
On top of that, we walk you through the material choices so you can pick the colors and textures you love. This collaborative approach turns a dusty old room into a place of complete bliss and relaxation.
Many folks wonder if this change is worth the cost of the labor and the parts. Truly, the answer lies in how much more you will use your new walk-in space compared to that old basin.
If you save money on water usage or simply enjoy your home more, the value becomes obvious immediately. Plus, you avoid the potential costs of fixing water damage caused by old, cracking tub seals.
We provide a free estimate so you know exactly what to expect before we even touch a single tool. This transparency allows you to plan your finances without any hidden fees or confusing jargon.

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.
