Switching out that bulky basin for a sleek floor-level station changes everything for your home value. You get to enjoy a fresh look that stays easy to scrub and keeps your floors dry.
Perhaps you have noticed that the old enamel is chipped or just hard to reach. Getting rid of that unused soaking basin opens up floor space for a stylish glass enclosure.

Think about how much safer you feel with a low threshold under your feet. This setup provides total convenience for every member of your family regardless of their age.
Small towns like Annex, Oregon, deserve home improvements that actually last for many years. With a population of about 288 people, the neighbors often chat about which upgrades improve daily life the most.
A household income around $41,719 means you want to spend money on things that add real worth. Investing in your bathroom is a smart play for anyone keeping an eye on their property value.
Your ZIP code is quite special and defines the regional charm of your beautiful area. Whether you live near the main road or tucked away, the process remains exactly the same for us.
First, we carefully remove the outdated structure that currently occupies the main spot. This part is messy but our crew works fast to minimize the disruption to your schedule.
Next, we check the subfloor to ensure everything stays rock solid under your feet. This structural check gives you peace of mind that no hidden rot will ever ruin your brand new design.
Finally, we install the sleek base and the surrounding wall panels that look like pure luxury. This transition makes your bathroom feel like a high-end hotel room instead of a cramped storage closet.
Acrylic bases work wonders because they never crack and stay warm to the touch. These materials give you a soft sense of relaxation every time you step in for a quick rinse.
Tiles are another great option if you want to customize the look with unique patterns. You might pick something that matches the rest of your home to keep the aesthetic flow nice and consistent.
Whatever surface you choose, keep in mind that non-slip coatings are a massive benefit for everyone. You want a surface that provides plenty of stability while looking sharp and polished at the same time.
Getting rid of that wall saves you time because you no longer have to wipe up puddles. A floor-level entrance lets water drain away instantly without splashing onto your nice rugs.
You also get more room to store things like shampoo and soap right where you need them. Built-in shelves or niches are perfect for keeping your gear organized and tidy.
Most homeowners tell us that they wish they had made this switch way sooner. It really is the most effective way to modernize a bathroom without tearing down every single wall.
Falling is a real worry for many people, especially as the years go by. By lowering the entry point, you eliminate the biggest trip hazard found in most houses today.
We often install grab bars that look good and provide a firm grip for support. These bars act as a safety feature that never looks out of place in a modern bathroom.
Everything we put in serves a purpose to keep you safe and happy. You deserve a space that adapts to your needs instead of forcing you to struggle every single morning.
Usually, the whole job finishes in just a few days if everything goes smoothly. We show up early to get the work done without dragging things out for weeks on end.

Communication is the key part of our job because you need to stay informed. We talk through every phase so you know exactly when the water turns back on.
Asking for a quote does not commit you to anything at all. You get to see the numbers and decide if it fits your plan for the house.
We come out to your home to take measurements and look at the plumbing. This site visit ensures that the quote is accurate and includes everything required for a perfect finish.
You should reach out to us whenever you are ready to start the conversation. Getting a professional look at your specific space helps us suggest ideas you might not have considered yet.
Sometimes people wonder if a full remodel is better than just swapping the basin. A partial change focuses your budget exactly where you see the biggest improvement in your daily life.
You save money by keeping the existing layout while changing only the problematic area. This targeted approach delivers massive results without the headache of a total gut job.
Think about how much more light enters the room when you use clear glass doors. The open space creates a sense of airiness that makes the whole house feel much brighter.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Low entry threshold | Prevents tripping and makes entry easy |
| Acrylic base | Resists stains and stays durable |
| Wall-to-wall glass | Maximizes light and room space |
| Built-in shelving | Keeps all your soaps reachable |
You have plenty of choices when it comes to the hardware and the fixtures. Brushed nickel or matte black finishes add a touch of personality to your design.
Even the shower head makes a huge difference in your experience each day. You might want a rainfall style or a handheld sprayer that reaches every corner with ease.
Every detail matters when you want a room that feels like your own sanctuary. We listen to your ideas and find ways to make them work within your budget and space.
Cleaning becomes a breeze when you have smooth panels and minimal grout lines. Most of the time, a quick spray and a light wipe keeps everything sparkling clean for years.
You will appreciate not having to scrub around those tight corners of a traditional basin. The flat surface lets you see everything clearly so no grime gets the chance to hide.
When you take care of your surfaces, they keep that brand new shine for a long time. It is a simple trade-off for a bathroom that looks fantastic every time you walk inside.
Many neighbors ask if their plumbing can handle the change without a massive overhaul. Usually, we use the existing pipes which keeps the cost down quite a bit.
Another big question concerns the time it takes to cure everything correctly. We wait until the seals are perfectly dry before we give you the green light to use your new setup.
You deserve to know all the facts before you commit to any major home repair. That is exactly why we offer a free session to look at your bathroom in person.

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 Annex 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.
