Upgrading your washing room with a modern walk-in splash stall boosts safety right away. You can easily dump that dusty old tub and get a free estimate today.
Honestly, nobody likes climbing over a giant porcelain wall just to get clean after a long day of working outdoors. Thankfully, swapping out that clunky basin for a sleek stand-up stall makes your morning routine way faster. Besides that, you instantly eliminate a huge tripping hazard that causes tons of nasty house accidents every single year.
Actually, I remember helping my uncle fix up his old place after he kept slipping on those steep sides. Plus, a fresh stall makeover opens up your floor space so the whole room feels way bigger. On top of that, removing that awkward basin gives your entire home a fresh upgrade that guests will notice immediately.
Naturally, modern materials make keeping the walls wiped down totally painless compared to scrubbing ancient tile grout line by line. Which means you spend way less time on your hands and knees with harsh scrub brushes on Saturday mornings. Furthermore, fresh heavy-duty acrylic panels resist mold growth to keep your family healthy and happy for decades.
Living right here in Lincoln County means dealing with unique house quirks and classic plumbing setups that need expert care. Specifically, many of our local properties built decades ago feature narrow washrooms that feel super cramped and outdated. Consequently, fitting a fresh walk-in setup transforms those small footprints into open spaces that feel totally high-end.
Surprisingly, stats show the median household income around here sits right around $45,000 across our 74079 ZIP code area. Therefore, spending smart money on upgrades that actually boost your real estate value is a total no-brainer for local owners. Because of this, opting for a quick washroom makeover gives you the biggest bang for your buck without breaking the bank.
Interestingly, in a cozy town of about 2,714 people, finding dependable local contractors who treat you like family is gold. For this reason, we treat every single home like it belongs to our own grandparents. As a result, you get honest service and fair prices without any sneaky hidden fees down the line.
First off, our crew steps into your house to protect your floors before tearing out that outdated cast-iron behemoth. After that, we inspect the subfloor underneath to ensure no hidden water damage or rotting wood exists. Next, we reinforce the wall studs so your brand-new stall walls fit completely snug and straight.
Then, we update your inner pipe connections using tough modern materials that resist dangerous leaks and burst pipes. Subsequently, we fit a custom single-piece pan directly over your subfloor to guarantee absolute zero water leaks forever. Following that step, we mount sleek wall surrounds that match your exact style taste and home vision.
Finally, we attach your brand-new chrome hardware along with secure grab handles and handy built-in corner shelves. Suddenly, your old washed-out space looks like something straight out of a fancy home improvement television show. Lastly, we do a thorough cleanup so you do not have to lift a single finger afterward...

To start with, adding a built-in bench turns your daily wash routine into a total relaxing spa experience at home. Consequently, you can sit down comfortably while washing your feet without balancing dangerously on one wet leg. In addition, integrated footrests make shaving your legs standard business without leaning awkward ways against wet walls.
Additionally, modern handheld spray nozzles let you direct water streams precisely where you want them most. What this means is you can rinse off fast without soaking your hair on days you want to skip washing it. Moreover, these flexible hoses make washing the dog or cleaning down the surrounding wall panels super fast and simple.
Also, choosing recessed wall caddies keeps your favorite shampoos and soaps organized instead of sitting messy on floor edges. Expectedly, this organized storage keeps your clean space looking tidy every single hour of the day. Up next, heavy tempered glass doors replace those sticky plastic curtains that always cling to your wet back...
Undoubtedly, you want to know what this trade upgrade costs before jumping headfirst into a big contract. Generally speaking, doing a full swap costs significantly less than knocking down walls for a total home tear-out project. However, cheap installer shortcuts can lead to hidden leaks behind walls that end up costing thousands later on.
For example, some budget workers try to slap cheap plastic inserts right over rotten wood floor joists without checking them first. Naturally, that sloppy work causes massive structural sag and terrible dark mold buildup under your clean floor pan within months. In contrast, our team fixes every tiny underlying problem correctly so your installation lasts a lifetime without headaches.
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 Stroud 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.
