Maybe you feel tired of climbing over that high porcelain barrier every single morning just to wash up.

By swapping out that bulky basin for a sleek and easily accessible washing space, you instantly make your daily routine much safer.
Fortunately, our crew specializes in transforming these outdated bathroom layouts into gorgeous walk-in spaces that fit your lifestyle perfectly. We travel right to your property to size up the area and discuss your ideas. To make things even better, you can grab a completely free project estimate today without any pressure to buy.
Think about how much cleaner your whole room will look once we remove that old dust-collecting basin. This smart upgrade maximizes your floor area and creates a spacious vibe that makes your morning routine feel like a trip to a high-end retreat. Let us handle the hard work while you start planning your ideal layout.
Let us face the truth about those deep basins because they actually consume a massive amount of floor space. Most of us rarely have the time to sit and soak for hours anyway. Changing this setup gives you a spacious, open area where you can actually move your arms without hitting cold tile.
Besides gaining extra physical space, you will find that cleaning becomes incredibly easy. Those old corners where mold loves to hide disappear when we install modern, seamless wall surrounds. This means you spend your weekends relaxing instead of scrubbing grout lines on your hands and knees.
On top of that, accessibility is a major factor for many families who want to stay in their homes long-term. Eliminating that high step-over barrier reduces the risk of nasty falls in the wet area. Which means you can shower with total peace of mind, knowing your bathroom is safe for everyone.
When you reach out to us, we do not just shout numbers in writing because every home is unique. Our local team comes directly to your residence to examine your current plumbing and structural setup. We take precise measurements so your new setup fits like a glove without any costly surprises during installation.
During this visit, we sit down with you to explore various design styles, colors, and hardware options. This lets you customize the look to match your personal taste while staying within your budget. You get a clear, written assessment of the costs so you can make an informed decision.
Our friendly approach ensures you feel comfortable asking all your questions about the process. We explain how we protect your floors and minimize dust while we do the heavy lifting. You get all the details upfront with no hidden fees or pushy sales tactics.
Choosing your new setup is the fun part because you get to design it from the ground up. You can opt for low-profile bases that make entering the stall as simple as taking a normal step. This simple change drastically improves safety for family members of all ages.
Additionally, we offer a wide variety of built-in seating options and sturdy grab bars that blend seamlessly with your design. These additions provide extra stability without making your bathroom look like a cold hospital room. You get to combine modern style with practical everyday safety features.
To help you compare the popular options we install, here is a quick overview of what you can choose:
| Feature Type | Main Benefit | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Low-threshold base | Super easy entry and exit | Safety and aging in place |
| Integrated shelving | Keeps shampoos organized | Clutter-free spaces |
| Built-in seating | Allows relaxing while washing | Added physical support |
Now, think about the convenience of having dedicated storage niches for your soaps and scrubs. No more balancing bottles on narrow ledges where they constantly fall and make a mess. This level of customization ensures your daily wash is smooth and stress-free.
Upgrading your bathroom is one of the most reliable ways to boost your property's overall appeal. Most modern homebuyers prefer a spacious walk-in stall over an old, unused basin that looks dated. This means you enjoy the upgrade now and reap the financial benefits later if you decide to sell.
Actually, we complete most of these transformations in surprisingly little time, often in just a couple of days. This quick turnaround means you do not have to live in a messy construction zone for weeks on end. We work efficiently to get your daily routine back to normal as fast as possible.

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 Burden 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.
