Our Cordell crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Washita County within days.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Are you tired of tripping over that giant, clunky porcelain box every morning? Switching to a sleek, walk-in washing station will change your life and make your home feel brand new.
Imagine walking into your bathroom and feeling like you just stepped into a high-end spa. Getting rid of that outdated, high-walled basin saves you so much physical strain. You no longer have to perform an acrobatic leap just to rinse off after a long day of work. This swap creates a sense of total ease that makes your daily routine feel like a treat rather than a chore.
Besides the physical relief, you get a ton of extra room in your small bathroom. Those massive, old-fashioned tubs take up way more real estate than you actually need for a quick scrub. Removing one gives you a wide-open feeling that makes the whole space appear much larger and brighter. It is a smart move for anyone looking to modernize their living space without moving house.
Think about how much safer you will be without those high walls. Stepping over a slippery ledge is the leading cause of bathroom accidents for many folks. By installing a low-profile entry point, you effectively eliminate the biggest danger in your house. This gives you peace of mind knowing you can wash up without worrying about a nasty fall or a bruised shin.
On top of safety, you gain a massive boost in visual appeal for your home. A custom-tiled, open-concept washing area looks incredibly polished and clean compared to a chipped, scratched tub. You can pick out beautiful glass doors that let light flow through the entire room. This simple change adds a level of luxury and refinement that will definitely impress your guests.
Living in a town like this, you know how much we value our quiet, hardworking lifestyle. With a population of around 2,915 people in Washita County, you want your home to be a sanctuary. Folks around the 73632 area code often look for ways to upgrade their property value without breaking the bank. This specific improvement is one of the most requested tasks because it balances cost with massive daily utility.
| Feature | Primary Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Low profile entry | Prevents tripping and falls | |
| Glass enclosure | Increases natural light flow | |
| Custom tile work | Adds visual charm and style | |
| Compact footprint | Creates more floor space |
First, our team comes out to look at your current layout and takes careful measurements. We want to ensure that every inch of space is used effectively while keeping your plumbing systems happy. This initial visit allows us to chat about your personal style and what materials will work best for your budget. Once we agree on the plan, we clear out the old mess and start building your custom stall.
Next, we handle all the heavy lifting and the tricky water connections. You do not have to worry about the messy stuff like hauling away heavy porcelain or cutting through old subflooring. We take pride in leaving your home better than we found it. You get to watch the progress as your old, clunky eyesore turns into a beautiful, functional spot for your morning wake-up call.
You deserve to work with people who understand your vision. Choosing the right wall surround or tile pattern can feel a bit overwhelming at first. We walk you through every option so you never feel pressured or confused by technical jargon. Everything we install is meant to last for many years because we know you do not want to redo this work twice.
Moreover, the finish on your new stall will make cleaning a total breeze. You can say goodbye to scrubbing deep corners where soap scum likes to hide. Because we use high-quality materials that resist moisture, your new space stays looking fresh with just a quick wipe down. This lets you spend your weekend relaxing instead of scrubbing floors on your hands and knees.
Perhaps you have been thinking about this project for quite a while now. Maybe you have seen pictures online and wondered if your space could handle such a big transition. The truth is that almost every bathroom can be improved with a bit of creative planning. Even if your room feels tiny, we can usually find a layout that makes everything fit perfectly.
Furthermore, if you are planning to stay in your home for a long time, this is a great investment. Future buyers often look for modern features that show the home has been well cared for. By removing that old basin, you make your property more attractive to future owners while enjoying the daily perks yourself. You really get the best of both worlds with this simple renovation.
Doing this work yourself sounds like a fun weekend project, but it is actually quite risky. You have to deal with complex plumbing that sits right behind your walls. One small mistake could lead to water damage that ends up costing you way more than a professional installation. Let our team handle the tough stuff so you can stay safe and comfortable.
Additionally, we bring all the right tools to get the job done fast. You might spend weeks dealing with dust and noise if you go it alone. We aim to minimize the disruption to your home so you can get back to your normal schedule as soon as possible. Our goal is to provide a smooth experience that leaves you grinning from ear to ear once the final seal is dry.
Now is the perfect time to reach out for your free estimate. There is no obligation to commit, and you will get a clear idea of what to expect for your specific bathroom. We invite you to ask us all the questions you have on your mind. We are here to help you turn your ideas into reality without any stress or hassle.
You can start by telling us about your dream vision for your home. We love hearing about your favorite colors, the type of hardware you like, and your specific goals for the space. We will put together a plan that fits your needs perfectly. Do not wait any longer to give yourself the bathroom you have always wanted. Reach out today and let us start the journey together!
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 Cordell 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.
