Across Faulkner County, bathtubs that retired years ago give way to showers built in their own footprint.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Maybe you are tired of climbing over that high porcelain wall just to get clean every morning. Switching to a walk-in wet area gives you way more floor space and makes your daily routine feel like a breeze.
Getting rid of the old basin in your home within the heart of the Natural State saves you time and keeps your floors dry. You can finally stop worrying about slipping on wet tiles while you try to reach your towel.
Usually, people get sick of scrubbing deep grout lines in a basin that they never actually use for soaking. By choosing a streamlined stall, you remove the extra maintenance that keeps you tied to your cleaning supplies all weekend long.
This change brings a sense of modern ease to your morning rituals without making you feel cramped. You gain significant room for your toiletries and enjoy a much wider area to move around while you wash up.
Many folks realize that high barriers are actually quite dangerous when you have slippery feet or mobility issues. A low threshold entry provides a secure way to access your washing area without any risky balancing acts.
Because you remove the deep basin, the whole room feels much larger and less cluttered than it did before. This improvement also lets you install grab bars or bench seats exactly where you need them most for peace of mind.
Investing in your home by changing your layout remains one of the smartest ways to spend your renovation budget. Buyers often look for accessible and updated bathing spots rather than old-fashioned tubs that take up too much room.
When you decide to modernize your wet zone, you make the whole house look fresh and updated. Potential buyers see the value in a clean stall that fits today's lifestyles better than a heavy, dated porcelain unit.
First, we come out to your place to see exactly what you are working with and discuss your vision. We check the plumbing lines and the wall integrity to make sure everything stays solid for many years to come.
After that, we provide a clear estimate that covers all the materials and labor required for the switch. You never have to worry about surprise costs because we keep our quotes honest and easy to understand from the start.
You can choose from a huge variety of tile patterns, glass door designs, and shower head finishes today. This lets you personalize the area so it matches the rest of your house perfectly while looking sharp.
Whether you want a rainfall effect or a simple adjustable sprayer, the choice rests entirely in your hands. We help you pick components that perform well and look good without needing constant care to stay shiny.
| Feature | Your Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Low Threshold | Easier entry and exit | |
| Glass Enclosure | More light in the room | |
| Non-slip flooring | Better balance and safety | |
| Modern fixtures | Higher water efficiency |
Perhaps you worry about the mess or how long the work will take to finish up properly. We work fast to make sure you get back to your normal schedule as quickly as possible.
Usually, we protect your floors and keep the dust to a minimum during the entire demolition phase. You get to enjoy your beautiful new washing area without dealing with a construction nightmare for weeks on end.
Removing a large basin involves more than just pulling out old hardware from the walls and floor. We make sure the drains align perfectly with the new floor slope to keep water flowing exactly where it should go.
Proper waterproofing remains the most important part of this job to prevent leaks from damaging your subfloor. We use quality materials that seal everything up tight so you never have to stress about moisture hiding behind your walls.
Sometimes we find surprises inside the wall cavities once the old structure comes out during the demolition. If we encounter old pipes or rot, we tell you immediately and provide solutions to fix those issues right away.
This level of transparency ensures you know exactly what is going on with your house at every turn. We aim to keep your project moving forward while ensuring that your home remains sturdy and safe for the long haul.

Don't let another year pass by dealing with a bathroom that feels outdated or difficult to use. Take the first step now to see how we can turn your vision into a reality for your house.
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 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.
