Which means you spend your weekends relaxing instead of on your knees scrubbing tile grout.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Transformation Process

Will removing my only basin hurt my home resale value?

Generally, having at least one soaking tub in the home is ideal for young families. However, if you have another bathroom with a tub, converting the master washroom is highly recommended. Most buyers prefer a large, luxurious walk-in stall over a second, unused basin any day.

Can you install the new system over my existing plumbing?

Absolutely, we design our upgrades to align with your current drain and water lines. This smart engineering keeps labor costs down and prevents unnecessary tearing of your walls. We simply upgrade the valves and showerhead to match your new modern layout.

Why the tub goes in Corinth

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.

Three days, wall to wall in Corinth

The same alcove, photographed the way the week actually unfolds. Weather never delays this one; it all happens indoors.

Day one

Out with the tub, in with the rough plumbing

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.

Day two

The pan goes down, the walls go up

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.

Day three

Glass, silicone and the first shower

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.

Low curb or no curb in Corinth

Both are real showers in the same alcove. The difference is the entry, and what has to happen under it.

Undecided is a fine answer on the form. The site visit settles it with a tape measure, not a sales pitch.

What we do while the bathroom is ours in Corinth

The tub leaves whole or in pieces

Removal

The tub leaves whole or in pieces

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.

Drain, trap and valve reset

Plumbing

Drain, trap and valve reset

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.

Pan or sloped floor

The base

Pan or sloped floor

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.

Panels or tile, sealed tight

The walls

Panels or tile, sealed tight

Grout-free panels go up in an afternoon and wipe clean forever. Tile takes longer, costs more, and looks like whatever you can imagine.

Panel or door, hung plumb

The glass

Panel or door, hung plumb

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.

Trim, silicone and handover

The finish

Trim, silicone and handover

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.

What the swap costs in Corinth

The jobUsual rangeInside the number
Standard tub-to-shower conversion$3,100 - $5,600Tub out, low curb pan, wall panels, new valve, glass panel.
Curbless conversion$4,900 - $8,800The floor is rebuilt flush and sloped to a linear drain.
Glass: fixed panel or hinged door$450 - $1,400A single panel sits at the low end, a framed door at the top.

Tear-out only$450 - $950The tub gone and the alcove left clean for another trade.
Small job minimumaround $2,400Even 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.

What your plumber will find

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.

Asked before the demo bar comes out

QIs losing the only bathtub a resale mistake?

AAgents around Corinth 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.
