Our Teton crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Fremont County within days.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Do you feel trapped by that bulky, outdated porcelain basin taking up all your floor space? Replacing that high-walled tub with a sleek, walk-in washing area is the best way to open up your bathroom and improve your daily routine.
Getting rid of that clunky obstacle makes your morning routine much smoother and safer for everyone in the house. By choosing to modernize your wet room, you gain a sense of ease that makes you wonder why you waited so long to change things.
Living in the quiet corners of Fremont County means you value your private time and your property worth. With a population of only 1,163 people, the folks around here definitely understand the importance of making sure every home improvement counts toward better living.
Since the median household income is around $38,409, you want to make smart choices that provide real value without breaking the bank. Upgrading your fixtures is a high-impact project that helps you maximize your square footage while adding functional appeal to your daily life.
Furthermore, removing an old, deep basin creates a much larger footprint for your feet to stand on. This simple change allows you to move freely without bumping your elbows or feeling restricted inside a cramped, plastic wall enclosure.
High walls are a massive headache when you want to step in for a quick rinse after a long day. You risk slipping or catching your toes on the rim every time you try to climb over that annoying ledge.
Installing a low-threshold entry point removes that danger entirely, which means you enjoy a safer environment every single time you step inside. This upgrade gives you incredible convenience because you simply walk right in without any awkward gymnastics or balance checks.
On top of that, you can add grab bars and non-slip tiles to make the experience feel secure and stable. This level of support provides a high degree of relaxation because you are never worried about losing your footing on wet surfaces.
When you look at your bathroom in the 83451 area, you probably notice how much space that old tub occupies. Most of these houses were built with a standard footprint that prioritizes soaking, but modern life demands speed and efficiency.
Replacing the bulky unit lets you install a beautiful glass enclosure that makes the entire room appear twice as big as it was before. Because glass is transparent, it lets light pass through, which creates a feeling of lightness and openness throughout your morning ritual.
Additionally, you can customize your new space with high-end spray heads or built-in niches for your soaps. This gives you a tailored spot that holds everything exactly where you need it, which makes your daily cleanup routine feel totally seamless.
Starting a renovation project can feel intimidating if you do not know the technical steps involved in the process. First, we remove the existing structure and inspect the subfloor for any hidden damage that might be hiding underneath the old basin.
Once we ensure the foundation is rock solid, we handle all the plumbing adjustments needed to reroute your water lines. This is a critical step because getting the pipe placement right ensures you have perfect pressure during every use.
After the plumbing is set, we move on to waterproofing the walls to prevent any moisture leaks in the future. Proper sealing is the secret to a long-lasting renovation that remains in top shape for many years to come.
You have so many options when it comes to picking the look of your new wall tiles and flooring. You can go with classic ceramic for a clean look, or choose durable stone-like patterns that provide a fancy vibe without the high maintenance.
Because we want your space to last, we only use high-quality materials that resist staining and mold growth. This means you spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying the comfort of your freshly updated home environment.
For your convenience, we can install a built-in bench for sitting down while you wash your hair. This little extra detail brings a level of luxury that makes your bathroom feel like a boutique hotel room right in your own house.
Many people worry that a renovation will take forever and leave them without a place to wash up. We prioritize efficient scheduling to minimize the time you spend without a functional room because we know your schedule is busy.
Another concern is the mess that usually comes with construction work in the house. We protect your floors with heavy-duty coverings and clean up every bit of debris before we leave your property each day.
You might also wonder about the costs involved with such a significant change to your home. We provide a clear, written estimate for every project, which ensures you know exactly where your money is going from the very beginning.

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 Teton 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.
