Maybe you feel tired of stepping over that high, slippery ledge every single morning. That old, deep basin takes up way too much space and honestly feels like a safety hazard. By swapping that outdated tub for a sleek, low-profile basin, you instantly open up your room and make daily washing much safer.
Fortunately, our team helps local homeowners make this exact transition without any stress. We specialize in removing old cast iron or acrylic tubs and replacing them with beautiful, modern walk-in setups. If you live in Simpson County, you can easily get a free estimate from us to see how simple this project really is.
This layout change gives you a lot more physical space to move around. Because of that extra room, you can add beautiful glass doors or convenient built-in seating. You will notice the difference in comfort and safety immediately after the very first installation day.
Most households rarely use a deep soaking tub anymore because busy schedules demand quick, efficient routines. When you choose to install a modern walk-in base instead, you save precious time and water. On top of that, cleaning a flat floor with solid wall panels is ten times easier than scrubbing old porcelain grime.
Let us look at how these two setups compare so you can make the best choice for your home:
| Feature | Old Deep Basin | Modern Walk-In Update |
|---|---|---|
| Step-in Height | 15 to 20 inches | Under 3 inches |
| Cleaning Effort | High (lots of bending) | Low (wipe-down panels) |
| Space Utilization | Cramped and bulky | Open and airy feel |
This comparison shows how much daily physical effort you save by modernizing the space. For example, older adults or people with joint pain find the low threshold incredibly life-changing. You no longer have to balance on one wet foot just to wash your hair.
In addition, our local climate can bring high humidity, which easily traps moisture in old, poorly ventilated enclosures. Our modern materials resist mold and mildew growth much better than old grout lines. That means you spend your weekends relaxing instead of scrubbing tile joints with a toothbrush.
Every home has a unique style, which is why we offer highly customizable setup options. You can select from various wall textures, including realistic faux stone or clean subway tile patterns. This variety lets you match the existing look of your home perfectly while enjoying durable, modern materials.
Some homeowners love the clean look of frameless glass doors because they reflect light and make small spaces look twice as big. Other folks prefer a simple, open entryway with a high-quality curtain rod for maximum accessibility. Whichever style you pick, we make sure the drainage functions flawlessly so water never pools on your bathroom floor.
Indeed, our team measures your exact footprint down to the millimeter to prevent any leaks. We install premium drain flanges and heavy-duty pans that hold up to years of heavy daily foot traffic. This careful attention to detail protects your subfloor from hidden water damage over the long haul.
If you plan to stay in your home long-term, adding sturdy grab bars is an excellent, forward-thinking decision. We anchor these safety bars directly into the wall studs so they can support real weight without budging. Which means you get total peace of mind every time you step into the warm water.
Besides grab bars, we can also install comfortable built-in benches or fold-down seats. These features let you sit down and relax while washing, creating a truly peaceful experience. You get to enjoy a spa-like setup right in your own home without paying premium resort prices.
Many folks dread home remodeling because they worry about weeks of loud noise, mess, and contractor delays. Because we focus specifically on this type of bathroom renovation, we have streamlined the entire process. We often complete the physical transformation in just a couple of days, minimizing any disruption to your household.
Initially, we protect your floors with heavy drop cloths before we even touch a single tool. Then, we carefully extract the old, bulky tub without damaging the surrounding drywall or plumbing. After that, we inspect the underlying wood structure to ensure there is no hidden rot or structural issues.
Next, our skilled team modifies the plumbing valves to match the new, modern height. We install high-quality fixtures that control water temperature perfectly so you never get a sudden shock of cold water. Finally, we seal every single seam with commercial-grade silicone to keep moisture exactly where it belongs.

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 Braxton 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.
