Our Allyn-Grapeview crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Mason County within days.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Most of us start our mornings rushing around trying to get ready for work. If you still have one of those old, deep basins in your washroom, you know how annoying it is to step over that high ledge every single day just to wash off. It is actually pretty dangerous too when you think about how slick those surfaces get when wet.
Upgrading to a modern walk-in stall makes your daily routine a whole lot smoother and faster. This smart change gives you a spacious area to wash up without the constant tripping hazard. Our team loves helping local homeowners make this switch because it instantly opens up the entire room.
We can visit your home to look at your setup and give you a free estimate on what it takes to swap things out. You will get a clear plan that fits your budget perfectly. Let us help you turn that cramped bathing area into a beautiful, open space that you actually enjoy using every morning.
Think about how much space that giant old iron or acrylic tub actually takes up in your bathroom. Most people rarely take actual baths anymore because we are all too busy with our daily lives. By removing that bulky relic, you gain a massive amount of floor space and a much cleaner look.
This smart swap also means you get to say goodbye to scrubbing those hard-to-reach corners where mold loves to grow. Modern wall panels and low-profile pans are incredibly easy to wipe down. This lets you spend your weekends relaxing instead of scraping grout lines on your hands and knees.
On top of that, your safety is worth the investment. Slipping while trying to balance on one foot is a major cause of household injuries. A flat, textured floor with easy entry keeps you safe and independent in your own home for years to come.
We install high-quality materials that resist chips and cracks. This means your new setup will look fresh and bright even after years of daily use. Our crew handles the heavy lifting so you do not have to worry about a thing.
Every home has its own quirks, especially when it comes to older plumbing systems. That is why we start with a thorough inspection of your pipes and subfloor. We make sure everything is dry and structurally sound before we even think about putting the new base down.
First, we carefully demolish the old cast iron or fiberglass structure. We haul away all the heavy debris so your home stays clean. Next, we inspect the wood underneath to ensure there is no hidden water damage or rot.
After we verify the bones of your wall are solid, we run the new drain lines. Adjusting the plumbing is crucial because a standard basin drain is smaller than what a fast-flowing stall requires. We handle all these technical details with absolute precision to prevent future leaks.
Finally, we install the waterproof backing and your choice of beautiful wall surrounds. You can choose from gorgeous stone patterns or sleek modern subway tiles. The end result is a highly functional space that offers incredible daily convenience.
Your bathroom should reflect your personal taste while meeting your physical needs. We offer a wide variety of accessories to make your new wash space perfect for you. From built-in seating to stylish safety bars, we customize every single detail.
Adding a built-in bench gives you a safe spot to relax while showering. This is a fantastic option for anyone with joint pain or balance issues. We place these benches strategically so they do not block your water flow.
Choosing the right hardware also makes a massive difference in your daily routine. Handheld sprayer heads let you direct the water exactly where you need it. This makes washing your hair or cleaning the walls incredibly simple.
We also install beautiful glass doors that slide open effortlessly. This keeps the water inside where it belongs while letting natural light fill the space. You will love how much larger and brighter your washroom feels with glass instead of a dark shower curtain.

Putting off this home upgrade can actually cost you more money in the long run. Old seals around built-in tubs tend to fail over time, letting water seep into your walls. This quiet damage can rot out your floor joists before you even notice a spot on the ceiling.
By upgrading now, you catch these hidden leaks before they turn into major structural disasters. We replace all the old valves and piping behind the wall during our installation. This gives you total peace of mind knowing your plumbing is up to modern standards.
A fresh, modern wash space also adds significant value to your property. Buyers love seeing a clean, accessible walk-in stall instead of an outdated pastel tub. It is one of the best investments you can make to boost your home's long-term appeal.

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 Allyn-Grapeview 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.
