Are you tired of stepping over a giant porcelain wall just to take a quick rinse in the morning? Transforming that old bathing basin into a sleek walk-in showering stall will completely change your daily routine. Because we live right here in Adams Wisconsin, our local crew understands exactly what your home needs.
Now is the best time to request your free estimate from us today. This simple upgrade gives you back your morning sanity and adds real value to your property.
Over time, traditional soaking tubs become a huge hassle for everyday hygiene and safety. Removing that bulky basin lets you enjoy a spacious daily rinse without any dangerous slips or falls. Which means your bathroom instantly becomes much safer for every family member living under your roof.
On top of that, nobody wants to spend precious weekends scrubbing hard water stains off slippery porcelain walls. By upgrading to modern acrylic panels, you gain a waterproof sanctuary that takes minutes to wipe down. This lets you spend your Saturdays enjoying local parks rather than fighting soap scum.
Slipping on wet tile floors remains a terrifying reality for aging homeowners and growing families alike. Installing sturdy grab bars alongside a low-threshold basin provides ultimate physical support during every single wash. Therefore, you can step inside without fearing a nasty tumble on slippery surfaces.
Furthermore, built-in seating options give you a reliable place to sit down and relax while the warm water pours. This clever addition makes your daily routine much safer and infinitely more pleasant.
Tiny bathrooms often feel cramped when a massive soaking tub takes up half the available floor space. Swapping out that ancient behemoth for a glass-enclosed stall opens up the entire room visually. Consequently, your cramped water closet suddenly feels twice as large and incredibly luxurious.
Plus, sleek chrome fixtures and frameless glass doors bring a fresh, contemporary vibe to your entire house. You will actually look forward to showing off your newly renovated bathing space to visiting guests.

Are you wondering if the swap is genuinely worth the trouble and temporary disruption to your home? Consider the following breakdown to see how the two setups stack up against each other:
| Feature | Old Soaking Tub | Modern Shower Stall |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | High step-over wall | Zero-threshold entry |
| Cleaning Time | Hours of scrubbing | Quick wipe down |
| Water Usage | High volume | Efficient flow |
| Safety | Slippery bottom | Slip-resistant flooring |
Evidently, trading the old tub for a streamlined stall brings massive practical improvements to your household. You gain efficiency, safety, and modern visual appeal all in one smart remodeling project.
Tearing out a heavy iron or fiberglass basin is a messy job that requires specialized tools and heavy lifting. Our experienced technicians protect your hallway floors and bedroom carpets before swinging a single hammer. Thus, your home stays remarkably clean while we clear out the outdated hardware.
Behind those old walls, we often inspect for hidden water damage or rotting wooden studs that need immediate attention. Catching these structural issues early prevents massive plumbing disasters down the road.
Selecting durable surfaces ensures your new wash station survives decades of heavy daily use by the entire family. Solid surface acrylic walls resist mold growth and never require messy grout lines that trap dirt. Which means your investment stays gorgeous and hygienic with almost zero ongoing maintenance.
Meanwhile, choosing heavy-duty tempered glass for your enclosure guarantees long-lasting durability against accidental impacts. You get a crystal-clear viewing panel that stays sturdy and safe through years of slamming doors.
Old houses sometimes hide quirky plumbing lines that demand clever rerouting before a new stall can go in. Our licensed pros handle all the tricky pipe adjustments so you never have to stress over leaks. Therefore, your drainage system operates at peak performance right from the very first use.
Adding high-flow drain covers prevents hair clogs and keeps wastewater moving smoothly down the main sewer line. This thoughtful engineering detail saves you from annoying standing water during your morning routines.
Hardware choices tie the whole remodeling project together and give your water closet a polished, finished look. Matte black faucets provide a bold industrial statement, while brushed nickel offers a timeless, understated appeal. Because you deserve total creative freedom, we bring a massive catalog of finish options directly to your living room.
Matching your showerhead to your faucet handles creates a harmonious design theme throughout the entire space. This subtle coordination elevates the overall aesthetic without breaking your predetermined budget.
Attempting a major bathroom overhaul as a DIY weekend project usually leads to expensive mistakes and endless frustration. Hiring trained local contractors ensures the waterproofing is done correctly the very first time around. Consequently, you avoid costly water damage that rots your subfloor and ruins your drywall.
Professional installation also guarantees that your new stall complies with all local building codes and safety regulations. You receive absolute peace of mind knowing the job meets the highest industry standards.
Most conversions take only a few days from start to finish once the custom materials arrive at your doorstep. We respect your busy schedule by showing up on time and cleaning up our workspace thoroughly every evening. Thus, your daily life experiences minimal disruption while we work our magic.

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 Adams 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.
