Maybe you are tired of stepping over that high, slippery ledge every single morning just to wash off. Many homeowners realize that their deep, unused soaking tubs actually take up way too much space and create unnecessary safety hazards. By swapping that bulky basin for a sleek, walk-in stall, you instantly open up your room and make your daily routine much safer.
Fortunately, our skilled local team specializes in making this exact swap quick and painless for you. We come right to your home in Oconee County to evaluate your current setup and provide a detailed, zero-cost estimate. This means you get a clear plan without spending a single dime upfront.
Choosing this smart home upgrade does more than just improve your morning routine. It actually boosts your overall property value while giving you a stylish, modern space that you can enjoy every day. Let us help you turn that cramped, outdated bathroom into a beautiful oasis that fits your actual lifestyle.
Think about how often you actually take a bath versus how often you take a quick rinse. For most busy folks, the honest answer is almost never, which means that giant porcelain basin is just gathering dust and taking up prime real estate. Replacing it with a low-profile stall gives you room to move around and breathe.
Besides saving precious floor space, safety stands out as a massive benefit for everyone in your household. Slipping on wet porcelain is a real danger, especially when you have to balance on one foot to get in or out of the basin. Our modern setups feature slip-resistant floors and low thresholds to keep you secure on your feet.
On top of the safety perks, cleaning becomes a total breeze when you make this change. Old grout lines and hard-to-reach corners around a traditional basin are notorious for trapping mold and soap scum. Our new acrylic walls and seamless bases resist grime, which means you spend less time scrubbing on your knees.

During the initial visit, we look closely at your existing pipe layout to prevent any unexpected surprises later on. Sometimes older homes have hidden water damage behind the drywall that needs fixing before we place the new base. We catch these issues early to ensure your new setup lasts for decades to come.
You can choose from a wide variety of wall panels that mimic the look of natural stone or classic subway tile. These durable materials give you the look of high-end masonry without the endless maintenance of traditional grout. This means your space looks incredibly stylish while remaining effortless to wipe down.
Additionally, we can install built-in shelving and corner caddies during this phase to keep your shampoos organized. Having designated spots for your toiletries prevents clutter from building up on the floor of your stall. You get a clean, streamlined look that feels like a fancy hotel right in your own home.
Upgrading your showerhead can completely change how your morning rinse feels. From rainfall fixtures to handy handheld sprayers, we help you select the hardware that matches your personal preferences. These modern fixtures also use less water while delivering excellent pressure, which helps lower your monthly utility bills.
Safety accessories do not have to look clinical or ugly anymore. We offer beautiful grab bars and built-in benches that blend seamlessly with your chosen design. This lets you sit down and relax safely while maintaining the gorgeous aesthetic of your freshly remodeled room.

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 Watkinsville 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.
