Maybe you feel tired of stepping over that high, dangerous ledge every single morning just to wash off. Many homeowners in our small Garfield County pocket find themselves stuck with outdated, deep basins that they never actually fill with water. By swapping that old beast out for a modern walk-in stall, you instantly create a safer and much more open space to start your day.
If you want to make this smart change without any hassle, our local team is ready to visit your home and give you a free estimate. This simple upgrade completely changes how you experience your daily routine. Let us help you find the perfect layout for your home today!
When you choose to modernize your bathing area, you finally say goodbye to stubborn mildew hiding under old rimmed edges. Our custom installations fit your exact space perfectly. This means you get a sparkling, low-maintenance setup that looks incredible and saves you hours of scrubbing every week.
First of all, safety becomes a major concern for many of us as the years roll by. Think about how slippery those old sloped porcelain basins get when they are covered in soapy water. By choosing a low-profile entry instead, you minimize the risk of slips and nasty falls. This gives you absolute peace of mind every time you step in.
On top of that, your old basin probably takes up a massive amount of physical real estate in a tight room. Removing that bulky unit opens up the entire floor plan. Which means your bathroom suddenly feels twice as big as it did before. You will love how much brighter the whole room looks after the swap.
Actually, let us look at the practical side of how we spend our time because nobody actually has hours to soak anymore. Most busy people just want a quick, hot spray to wake them up. Therefore, keeping a giant unused vessel around is just wasting valuable square footage. We help you reclaim that space for something you actually use daily.
Naturally, you might wonder about the financial part of this project. To give you a clear picture of what to expect, we put together a handy guide comparing different options for your home upgrade. This helps you plan your budget wisely before our team comes out to measure your space.
| Project Option | Key Benefit | Time to Complete |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic Wall System | Super easy to clean and very affordable | 1 to 2 Days |
| Custom Tile Stall | High-end look that boosts home value | 3 to 5 Days |
| Low-Barrier Base | Maximum safety and effortless entry | 1 to 2 Days |
Now, let us talk about how this investment affects your property value. Even in a quiet community with a median household income of $55,179, modern buyers look for updated bathrooms. They absolutely love seeing a clean, contemporary glass stall instead of a stained, ancient basin. Doing this work now ensures your home stays competitive on the market.
Besides the financial return, the sheer daily convenience is worth every single penny. Imagine walking into a bright, open area that feels like a private spa. Our skilled hands make sure the plumbing matches up perfectly so you do not face any leaks down the road. We take pride in delivering top-notch work that lasts for decades.
To start, you get to choose from a massive variety of wall surrounds and beautiful fixtures. Do you prefer a classic subway tile look or perhaps a sleek, seamless panel design? Since we customize everything to your taste, you get to create a look that matches your personal style. Your neighbors will surely be jealous of the transformation.
Additionally, we can install built-in seating and sturdy grab bars that blend in beautifully with your design. These features do not have to look like a cold hospital room. Instead, we use gorgeous finishes like brushed bronze or matte black to keep things looking sharp. This lets you combine ultimate safety with incredible style.
Then, we must consider the storage aspect of your new setup. We can build recessed niches directly into the walls to hold your shampoos and soaps. This means no more ugly plastic caddies hanging from your showerhead. Everything stays neat, organized, and right at your fingertips.
Initially, the thought of home construction can feel a bit overwhelming and messy. However, our friendly crew respects your home and keeps the workspace incredibly clean. We seal off the area to keep dust from traveling into your living room. You do not have to worry about a giant, chaotic mess left behind.
First, we carefully extract the old heavy cast iron or fiberglass unit without damaging your existing walls. After that, we inspect the subfloor underneath for any hidden water damage or rot. Fixing these issues early saves you from massive headaches and expensive repairs in the future. We make sure the foundation is rock solid before moving forward.
Next, our team reroutes the drain pipes to line up perfectly with your new center or side drain. This step requires real precision so you never have to deal with pooling water. Finally, we install your beautiful new slip-resistant pan and seal the walls with premium waterproof materials. You get a watertight system that stands up to daily use without a single leak.
As you know, homes in our region have unique plumbing quirks depending on when they were built. A local team understands the specific construction styles common around Garfield County. This means we never get surprised by old galvanized pipes or unusual framing behind your walls. We know exactly how to handle every situation safely.

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 Fairmont 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.
