Maybe you are tired of tripping over that high porcelain ledge every single morning. That old basin just sits there taking up half your washroom space while gathering dust and soap scum. By swapping that outdated basin for a sleek walk-in enclosure, you instantly create a safer and much more spacious layout.
This smart swap makes daily hygiene a breeze. We help homeowners make this transition without any stress. You can grab a free estimate today to see how easy the process really is.
Let us be honest about how we actually use our washrooms these days. Most of us do not have an hour to waste soaking in a tub of lukewarm water. Busy people prefer a fast and refreshing stream of hot water to kickstart their mornings. Replacing that bulky iron basin with a low-profile pan gives you back your valuable floor space.
This change also lowers the risk of slips and falls quite a bit. Stepping over a tiny three-inch threshold feels much safer than balancing on one wet foot. Your joints will thank you for making this change. On top of that, cleaning a flat wall panel is ten times easier than scrubbing deep corners on your knees.
Our team specializes in these custom transformations. We bring all the tools and heavy materials right to your doorstep. You get a beautiful new setup without lifting a finger.
If you plan to stay in your home for years to come, planning ahead is smart. Standard basins present a major tripping hazard for kids and grandparents alike. A flat entry setup removes this barrier entirely. You can even add sturdy grab bars and comfortable bench seating inside the new space.
These safety features do not have to look like a cold hospital room. Modern fixtures look incredibly sleek while providing amazing stability. This means you get peace of mind and a gorgeous design all at once.
Think about the time you waste scrubbing grout lines in an old deep basin. Acrylic wall surrounds resist mold and mildew naturally. This means you spend your weekends relaxing instead of inhaling harsh chemical fumes.
| Old Setup Struggles | New Walk-In Benefits |
|---|---|
| High step-over hazard | Low-profile safe entry |
| Hard to clean corners | Smooth wipe-down walls |
| Cramped standing area | Spacious slip-resistant floor |
This handy comparison shows how much your daily routine will improve. You deserve a setup that works for your lifestyle. Our local crew can make this happen quickly.
You might worry that a major renovation will leave your home in a messy state for weeks. Our team uses a streamlined system to swap your bathing fixtures in just a couple of days. First, we measure your existing footprint down to the millimeter. This precision prevents leaks and ensures a snug fit.
Next, you choose the style of your new wall panels and fixtures. We offer everything from classic subway tile patterns to modern stone textures. These materials look like expensive masonry but require almost zero maintenance.
Then, we handle the tough demolition work. We haul away the heavy cast iron or steel beast that is currently taking up your space. You do not have to worry about disposing of heavy waste.
Choosing your new showerhead is the most exciting part of the project. You can opt for a luxurious rainfall ceiling fixture or a flexible handheld wand. Handheld sprayers make washing pets and cleaning the walls incredibly simple.
We also install high-quality thermostatic valves. These smart valves keep the water temperature steady even if someone runs the kitchen sink. This prevents sudden icy shocks or scalding hot surprises.
Some homeowners love the open feel of a completely barrier-free wet room. Others prefer thick glass sliding doors to keep the warmth trapped inside. We help you choose the best setup for your specific layout.
Frameless glass doors add a touch of high-end style to any small area. They reflect light and make your entire washroom feel twice as big. This simple trick completely changes the vibe of your home.

You probably want to know how long you will be without a functioning washroom. Most of our projects wrap up in just two to three days. We work fast because we plan every single step before we touch your walls.
Another common question is whether this change hurts your home resale value. Real estate trends show that most modern buyers prefer a spacious walk-in stall over an unused basin. You are actually making your property much more attractive to future buyers.
We also back our labor with solid warranties. If you ever run into an issue, we are just a message away. We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients.
Our skilled team adapts your current drain lines to fit the new center or side drain location. We also inspect the wood framing beneath your old unit for any hidden water damage. If we find rot, we fix it properly before installing the new pan.
This thorough approach prevents future mold issues behind your beautiful new walls. We do not believe in covering up problems. You get a rock-solid foundation that keeps your home safe.

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 Dawson 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.
