If you are tired of stepping over a high wall just to wash off the day, you need a smart, modern change. Switching your old, deep soaking basin for a sleek, walk-in washing space makes your daily routine much safer and faster. Our team of local builders comes right to your home to help you plan this awesome upgrade without any hassle.
Actually, we offer completely complimentary pricing estimates to help you make the right choice for your budget. You can finally wave goodbye to that unused, dusty basin that just collects soap scum. Replacing it with a spacious, low-profile basin-free setup will instantly make your whole washroom look twice as big.
Many homeowners realize they do not actually take baths anymore. Because of this, that giant porcelain obstacle in your bathroom simply wastes precious square footage. By choosing to install a modern walk-in basin-free system, you gain incredible convenience and save tons of cleaning time.
Our team specializes in removing those outdated basins and replacing them with beautiful, slip-resistant bases. This change minimizes the risk of falls, which is super important if you plan to stay in your home long-term. Plus, the fast drainage of these setups means you will not be standing in a pool of dirty water anymore.
When you think about the daily grind, speed is everything. Busy mornings require a quick rinse, not a long soak. This is why a modern barrier-free layout fits your active lifestyle so much better than a dusty old basin.
On top of that, your home value can get a nice little boost from this upgrade. Most home buyers these days prefer a spacious, modern walk-in setup over a cramped, outdated tub. We make the entire process easy by managing the demo, plumbing, and wall surrounds.
| Old Setup Feature | New Setup Benefit | Daily Life Impact |
|---|---|---|
| High tub wall step-over | Low-profile entry threshold | Safer, easier access daily |
| Hard-to-clean corners | Smooth, non-porous walls | Spend less time scrubbing | Wasted water volume | Efficient drainage system | Lower water bills over time |
Clearly, the advantages go far beyond just looking good. You will notice that wiping down the new acrylic wall surrounds takes only a fraction of the time. This means you get to spend your weekends relaxing instead of scrubbing grout lines on your hands and knees.
By choosing a low-barrier base, you also make your home much more accessible for guests of all ages. This is a huge relief if you have older relatives visiting or if you plan to age in place. We can even install sturdy grab bars and comfortable built-in seating during the installation.
Every home is different, which is why we offer highly customized options for your project. You can choose from a wide variety of wall patterns, including realistic faux stone and modern tile looks. This allows you to match your personal style perfectly while enjoying the benefits of low-maintenance materials.
Additionally, you can pick the perfect hardware finishes to tie the room together. Whether you love matte black, brushed nickel, or classic chrome, we have options that will make your space shine. We also offer custom shelving and corner caddies to keep your shampoos and soaps organized.
Our skilled crew knows how to work within tight spaces, ensuring a perfect fit every single time. We take precise measurements of your existing alcove so the new base slides in seamlessly. This level of accuracy prevents leaks and ensures your subfloor stays completely dry for decades.
Naturally, you might worry about the noise and mess of a major bathroom remodel. Fortunately, our crew works incredibly fast, often finishing the main installation in just a couple of days. We protect your floors with drop cloths and clean up every speck of dust before we leave.
First, we carefully extract your old cast iron or steel basin without damaging the surrounding walls. After that, we inspect the underlying pipes and wood structure to ensure there is no hidden water damage. If we find any soft spots or old leaks, we repair them immediately so your new setup has a rock-solid foundation.
Once the prep work is complete, we install the new drain plumbing and secure the slip-resistant base. Next, we apply the waterproof wall panels and seal every joint with high-grade silicone. This multi-layered waterproofing system ensures you never have to worry about mold growing behind your walls.

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 Declo 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.
