Maybe you find yourself tired of stepping over that high porcelain ledge every single morning just to wash up. This daily obstacle course gets old real fast and actually poses a pretty serious slip hazard for everyone in your home. By swapping that deep water basin for a sleek and level showering space, you instantly make your daily routine much safer and faster.
Actually, making this smart switch completely transforms the layout of your entire bathroom. You will notice that the room suddenly feels twice as large because you removed that bulky barrier. Our team visits your home to measure your current setup and gives you a detailed free estimate without any pressure.
Imagine stepping into a spacious wash area with low thresholds and beautiful modern wall surrounds. This upgrade is not just about looks, because it also saves you tons of scrubbing time. We love helping folks get rid of their outdated basins and trade them for something way more practical.
Let us look at the real facts about how we use our bathrooms today. Very few adults actually take long baths anymore because we are all simply too busy. Which means that giant basin just sits there collecting dust and soap scum while taking up precious square footage.
When you choose to remodel this specific area, you gain immediate convenience. This project allows you to customize the new space with built-in benches, modern grab bars, and recessed niches for your shampoo bottles. It brings a wonderful sense of coziness and gracefulness to a room that used to feel cramped and outdated.
On top of that, your old plaster or fiberglass walls might be hiding nasty mold underneath. Our professional installers strip everything down to the studs to ensure a clean and dry foundation. This thorough process guarantees that your new setup will stand the test of time.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick look at how these two setups match up:
| Feature | Old High-Walled Basin | Modern Walk-In Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Safety Level | Low (high step-over) | High (low or zero threshold) |
| Space Utilization | Cramped and bulky | Open and airy feel |
| Maintenance | Hard to scrub corners | Easy wipe-down surfaces |
Now, you might worry that your home will turn into a dusty construction zone for weeks on end. Fortunately, our specialized team has this down to a science. We protect your floors and complete the bulk of the messy work surprisingly fast.
First, we carefully extract the old heavy cast iron or steel fixture without damaging your plumbing. Then, we inspect the subfloor to make sure no water damage has weakened the wood. This step is crucial because a solid base prevents leaks down the road.
Next, we run new drain lines and install a high-quality pan that fits the exact footprint of your old unit. After that, we seal the walls with premium waterproof panels that look like expensive tile but require zero grout maintenance. You get a gorgeous finish without the headache of scrubbing moldy grout lines with a toothbrush.
Since everyone has different routines, we offer highly customizable options for your new setup. This lets you choose the perfect sliding glass doors or a classic open wet-room design. You can also select hand-held sprayers that make washing pets or cleaning the walls incredibly easy.
If you plan to stay in your home for many years, this upgrade is a brilliant investment. It ensures you can age in place safely without worrying about falls. We install strong backing boards behind the walls so we can mount sturdy safety bars wherever you need them most.
Think about how much nicer your mornings will be when you step into a bright, open space. No more cold drafts from behind a flimsy plastic curtain. We use thick tempered glass that keeps the warmth inside while looking absolutely stunning.
Because we operate right here in Crook County, we understand the unique needs of homeowners in our tight-knit community. We love serving the friendly folks around the local general store in Aladdin, Wyoming, where the historic vibes run deep. Even though our town is famously small with a population of around 15 people, we treat every single home with massive respect.
Whether your home sits near the scenic highway or further out in the county, we come directly to you. We know the local water quality issues and building styles inside and out. Our team works hard to deliver top-notch craftsmanship to every household in the 82710 ZIP code area.
Given that the median household income here reflects hard-working families, we focus on providing real value. We do not believe in high-pressure sales tactics or hidden fees. Our upfront pricing ensures you know exactly what to expect before we ever turn a wrench.
One detail that many people overlook is the size of the drain line under the floor. Tubs usually use a smaller line, whereas a dedicated showering area requires a wider opening to whisk water away fast. We handle all of this complex pipe work to prevent any annoying pooling around your feet.
This means you never have to worry about slow drains or water overflowing onto your bathroom floor. We also install top-tier pressure-balancing valves. These smart valves protect you from sudden bursts of freezing or scalding water when someone else flushes a toilet.
Furthermore, we offer low-profile thresholds that are practically level with your floor. This seamless design is perfect for anyone with limited mobility. It creates a sleek, modern look that instantly boosts the overall value of your property.
Perhaps you are wondering about the total cost or how long the project will take for your specific layout. The easiest way to get answers is to have one of our friendly installers take a look. We provide a completely free, no-obligation written quote right at your kitchen table.
This customized plan outlines the timeline, materials, and exact costs so you can make an informed decision. We take pride in our honest approach and love helping our neighbors improve their daily lives. Your dream bathroom is much closer and more affordable than you might think.
Do not spend another day struggling with an old, unsafe basin that does not serve your lifestyle anymore. Reach out to us today to schedule your free home consultation. Let us transform your bathroom into a beautiful, safe, and highly functional space that you will love using every day.
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 Aladdin 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.
