| Project Phase | What We Do | Your Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Demo Day | Remove the old tub carefully | Zero mess left behind |
| Plumbing Prep | Upgrade old rusty pipes | Better water pressure daily |
| Final Install | Seal your new glass doors | Water stays where it belongs |
First off, we arrive promptly at your front door with all the tools needed to start demolition. Afterwards, we haul away that heavy porcelain monster so you do not have to lift a single finger.
Then, our plumbers check your subfloor for any hidden water damage or rotting wood lurking underneath. This guarantees your brand-new stall sits on a rock-solid foundation that lasts for decades.
Older properties often hide corroded pipes that love to leak behind your walls when you least expect it. Thankfully, our licensed pros replace those ticking time bombs with fresh PEX lines and modern brass fittings.
As a result, you enjoy powerful water pressure and zero leaks while rinsing off the shampoo. That means you save money on water bills and avoid costly structural repairs down the road.
Picking out shiny new hardware lets you customize the look of your morning routine down to the last detail. Moreover, frameless glass doors make your entire bathroom feel twice as big and infinitely brighter.
On top of that, built-in corner shelves give you plenty of room to store all your favorite soaps and shampoos. This keeps your floors clutter-free and makes every single shower feel like a five-star hotel visit.
Slips and falls inside slick tubs send thousands of people to the emergency room every single year. Therefore, installing a zero-threshold entry lets you walk right in without lifting your feet high.
Besides that, we can anchor sturdy grab bars directly into your wall studs for extra stability. This protects your loved ones of all ages and gives you total reassurance during slippery moments.
Sometimes you just want to sit down and relax under a cascade of warm water after a brutal workday. Accordingly, we build custom tiled benches right into the wall for maximum relaxation.
This lets you shave your legs or simply unwind without doing any awkward balancing acts on one foot. Consequently, your daily rinse transforms into your favorite part of the entire day.
Nobody actually takes a relaxing soak in a standard bathtub once they reach adulthood anyway. Instead, most folks stand up inside the basin because life moves way too fast for long baths.
Therefore, replacing that useless tub with an open stall maximizes your floor space and improves daily functionality. This is why smart homeowners across the Peach State make the switch every single day.
Grout lines in old tubs turn dark and gross because they trap soap scum and hard water minerals. However, our seamless acrylic panels wipe clean with a damp microfiber cloth in mere seconds.
This means you spend less time breathing harsh chemical cleaners and more time enjoying your weekends. You will genuinely love how easy it is to keep your bathroom shining brightly.
National franchise chains often send out random subcontractors who do not care about our local building standards. Conversely, our homegrown team treats your house with the utmost respect from start to finish.

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 Avondale Estates 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.
