You probably hate climbing over that tall, slippery barrier every single morning just to wash off. This daily struggle can make your morning routine feel like an obstacle course. Fortunately, our local team can swap that old, bulky basin for a modern walk-in stall in no time.
Which means you get a safer, more open space to wash up without the hassle. We specialize in transforming these outdated spaces into beautiful, functional walk-in setups. Since we work right here in Clark County, we know exactly what local homeowners need to modernize their homes.
Actually, our custom transformations require zero stressful remodeling work on your part because we handle everything from start to finish. You can finally stop worrying about water spilling over the edges onto your floor. If you want to see how this change fits your budget, you can request a free estimate today.
Many homeowners realize that they rarely use their deep soaking tubs anymore. Instead, they prefer a quick, refreshing wash under a steady stream of warm water. Making this swap saves you precious time during busy mornings when everyone is rushing to get ready.
Besides that, a low-profile entry point drastically reduces the risk of slips and falls in the bathroom. This extra safety gives you peace of mind, especially if you plan to stay in your home for years to come. Our custom designs fit perfectly into your existing layout without requiring massive structural changes.
This lets you maximize your limited square footage while creating a much more breathable layout. We always install top-tier materials that resist mold and mildew growth. Consequently, you will spend far less time scrubbing grout lines on your hands and knees.
Older basins tend to collect soap scum and grime in hard-to-reach corners. Cleaning them requires a lot of painful bending and kneeling. This physical strain can make chores feel like a true punishment for your back.
On top of that, standard tubs consume a massive amount of hot water to fill up. This wasteful habit drives up your monthly utility bills unnecessarily. Switching to a modern pan with a high-efficiency showerhead keeps your hard-earned money in your pocket.
Modern buyers actively look for sleek, updated bathrooms when they tour homes in the local area. A bulky, dated basin can make your entire property feel old and neglected. Upgrading this single feature can make your home stand out in the competitive real estate market.
To give you a better idea of how these setups compare, here is a quick breakdown of the differences:
| Feature | Old Deep Basin | Modern Walk-In Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | High (15-20 inches) | Low (under 3 inches) |
| Water Usage | High (demands full tank) | Low (efficient flow) |
| Maintenance | Hard scrubbing required | Simple wipe down |
| Space Feel | Cramped and bulky | Open and spacious |
Clearly, the modern alternative wins in almost every category for daily practical use. Our team helps you select the perfect colors and textures to match your personal style. We always aim to make the entire process quick, clean, and completely stress-free for you.
Your home deserves a look that reflects your unique taste and personality. We offer a wide range of wall panels, hardware finishes, and built-in accessories. This variety ensures that your new setup looks like a natural extension of your home.
For example, we can install built-in benches or sturdy grab bars for added stability. These features provide a cozy touch of convenience without sacrificing the modern aesthetic of your space. You get to choose exactly where these elements go for maximum comfort.
Additionally, we offer sleek glass doors that slide open effortlessly to keep water contained. Or you can opt for an open-concept wet room design for the ultimate modern look. Whatever you choose, we ensure the drainage is flawless so water never pools where it shouldn't.
Acrylic wall systems represent a fantastic choice because they are incredibly durable and non-porous. These surfaces will not chip, crack, or fade over time even with heavy daily use. This means your investment will look brand new for decades.
Alternatively, you might prefer the classic look of custom tile work for a highly customized appearance. While tile requires a bit more maintenance, it offers unmatched visual depth and texture. We can help you weigh the pros and cons of each material during your consultation.
Most old setups lack proper storage space for shampoos, soaps, and razors. This lack of space often leads to cluttered corners and messy plastic hanging racks. We can build custom recessed niches directly into your new wall panels.
This simple addition keeps your toiletries organized and out of sight. Which means your space stays clean, tidy, and beautiful at all times. You will love having a dedicated spot for every single bottle.
You might worry that a major bathroom remodel will disrupt your life for weeks on end. However, our highly trained crew has perfected the art of swift, clean installations. We often complete the entire physical transformation in just a few days.
First, we carefully protect your floors and hallways before we bring in any tools. Then, we remove your old basin and inspect the underlying plumbing for any hidden water damage. This crucial step ensures that your new system rests on a solid, dry foundation.
After addressing any pipe issues, we install the new custom pan and secure the waterproof wall panels. We seal every joint with high-grade silicone to prevent any future leaks. Finally, we clean up our workspace so thoroughly that you won't even know we were there.
Trying to tackle this project on your own can quickly turn into a household disaster. A single minor plumbing mistake can cause slow, hidden leaks behind your drywall. Over time, this moisture rots your wood framing and breeds dangerous mold.
Hiring our local team guarantees that the job gets done correctly the first time. We carry the proper licenses and insurance to protect your home throughout the project. You can sit back and relax while we handle the heavy lifting.
When you contact us, we schedule a convenient time to visit your home and inspect your bathroom. We measure your existing space and listen closely to your design ideas and budget goals. This initial visit is completely free of pressure or obligation.
Following our inspection, we provide a clear, detailed estimate with no hidden fees or surprise costs. We believe in honest, transparent pricing so you can make an informed decision. You will know exactly what to expect before we turn a single wrench.

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 Arden 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.
