Across Chippewa County, bathtubs that retired years ago give way to showers built in their own footprint.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Are you tired of climbing over that high wall just to get clean every morning? Upgrading your bathroom area in this beautiful part of Wisconsin makes your life much easier and keeps things feeling safe for years to come.
Most people find that a deep basin takes up way too much room in a small bathroom. By taking that bulky thing out, you gain a massive amount of floor space that feels much more open. This creates a sense of true ease that you really deserve in your own home. You will love how much roomier the space feels once we swap that giant tub for a sleek, modern wet area.
Furthermore, these older basins often become a tripping hazard for anyone who is not feeling quite as limber as they used to be. Slipping while trying to step over a high edge is never a fun experience for you or your family members. Replacing that tall barrier with a low or flush threshold gives you the peaceful state of mind you need. You can step right in without worrying about your footing at all.
Beyond the safety perks, you gain a massive boost in the look of your house. Old fixtures often have stains or chips that simply do not scrub away no matter how hard you try. A brand new walk-in unit with shiny tile and modern glass doors turns a boring room into a highlight of your property. People usually tell me that their morning routine feels like a luxury visit to a high-end lodge.
Usually, we start by pulling out that heavy cast iron or fiberglass box that currently sits against your wall. This part is loud, but it allows us to check the subfloor for any hidden water damage that might be lurking beneath. Finding issues early means we fix them right away so you do not have any surprise leaks later. You get a solid foundation that lasts for a long time.
After the old unit is gone, we prep the walls and the plumbing to handle the new setup. We make sure the drainage is perfect so you never deal with standing water on your floor. This precision work ensures that your new space stays dry and mold-free throughout the year. You will definitely appreciate the professional care we put into the hidden parts of the job.
Now, you have to choose the finishes that match your style. We offer tons of options like subway tiles, natural stone patterns, or easy-clean acrylic walls. These materials are built to withstand heavy daily use while looking great for many years. Choosing the right surface means you spend less time cleaning and more time relaxing under the warm spray.
Living here in Chippewa County means you value sturdy homes and good craftsmanship. With a population that stays spread out across the rolling hills and quiet forests, we know that your house is your sanctuary. We serve all the local zip codes, ensuring that folks from one end of the region to the other get the same high quality work. Whether you are closer to the downtown hubs or tucked away in the quiet woods, we come to you.
| Feature | Benefit to You | |
|---|---|---|
| Low entry threshold | Prevents tripping and falls | |

Since the median household income here is quite stable, homeowners often want projects that add real value to their property. Upgrading a bath setup is one of the smartest ways to boost your resale value without breaking the bank. Potential buyers always love seeing a clean, modern wet area instead of a stained old basin. You invest in your own property while making it a better place to live today.
Sometimes folks worry that changing their layout will take forever and leave them without a place to get clean. My team works fast to ensure you have a functional setup as quickly as possible. We keep the mess contained so you can still live in your home while we do the heavy lifting. You get a new look without the typical chaos of a major home renovation project.
On top of that, we focus on the hardware like valves and showerheads that really change how your water pressure feels. A good valve keeps the temperature steady so you never get a freezing or scalding surprise mid-rinse. Choosing the right nozzle also saves water without making you feel like you are standing in a light drizzle. You get the perfect mix of power and efficiency every single time.

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 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.
