You probably find yourself stepping over that high, slippery ledge every single morning just to get a decent wash. Honestly, that daily obstacle course gets tiring real fast and definitely adds unnecessary stress to your routine. Fortunately, our team of local bathroom remodeling specialists can swap that outdated basin for a sleek, low-profile basin entry today.
By making this simple switch, you instantly create a safer and much more spacious layout in your existing space. Think about how much easier your mornings will become when you can just walk right in. This smart upgrade actually saves you tons of scrubbing time because modern materials resist mold and grime way better than old cast iron.
If you want to transform your daily routine, we are ready to visit your home and give you a detailed free quote. Our friendly crew loves helping folks upgrade their homes without any high-pressure sales tactics. Let us help you plan this exciting project today.
Older homes often feature deep, clunky basins that take up a massive amount of floor space. When you replace that bulky setup with a modern walk-in option, you immediately open up the entire room. This layout change makes even a compact washroom feel twice as big as it used to be.
Safety stands out as the absolute biggest benefit for most homeowners we talk to. Slipping on wet porcelain causes thousands of home accidents every year, which is why a flat, textured floor is so much better. You get peace of mind knowing that you or your loved ones can wash up without worrying about trips or falls.
Additionally, modern acrylic surfaces are incredibly durable and won't crack or fade over time. This means your new setup keeps its beautiful shine with just a quick wipe-down every week. You spend less time on your knees scrubbing grout lines and more time enjoying your beautiful home.
To help you compare the differences, we put together a handy comparison table of the two setups:
| Feature | Old Basin Setup | Modern Walk-In Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches | Usually 3 inches or less |
| Required Floor Space | Feels cramped and bulky | Maximizes available room |
| Cleaning Effort | High (grout and corners) | Low (non-porous surfaces) |
| Accessibility | Difficult for many folks | Extremely easy and safe |
Every homeowner has different tastes, so we make sure to offer plenty of customization options. You can choose from gorgeous stone patterns, classic subway tile designs, or clean solid colors. This flexibility lets you match the new setup perfectly with your existing cabinets and flooring.
Besides the walls, you can add handy features like built-in benches or sturdy grab bars. These accessories do not look institutional anymore, as they now come in beautiful finishes like brushed nickel or matte black. You get all the safety benefits while keeping a modern, stylish look.
We also install custom shelving towers to keep your shampoos and soaps organized and off the floor. No more balancing bottles on narrow ledges or corner plastic racks that always fall down. Everything you need will sit right at arm's reach in a secure, molded shelf.
Many people worry that home remodeling projects will drag on for weeks and leave a giant mess. Luckily, our experienced crew can complete most of these specific teardowns and installations in just a couple of days. We respect your home and work quickly to minimize any disruption to your life.
First, we carefully remove your old heavy basin and inspect the underlying pipes and wood for any hidden damage. This step ensures we fix any slow leaks before we put the new system in place. You get a solid foundation that will last for decades without any water damage worries.
Next, we install the new leak-proof pan and seal the walls with premium waterproof barriers. Our precise fitting techniques prevent any moisture from slipping behind the panels, which keeps your home safe from hidden rot. Once we finish, we clean up every bit of dust so you can enjoy your new space immediately.
Investing in your home is always a big decision, but this particular upgrade offers fantastic returns. Most home buyers these days actually prefer a spacious walk-in stall over a dusty old soaking basin they will never use. This change makes your property much more attractive on the market if you ever decide to sell.

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 Burkburnett 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.
