Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Maybe you feel tired of stepping over that high, slippery ledge every single morning just to wash off. Actually, many people in Comanche County share this exact frustration because old-style wash basins simply do not fit a fast-paced lifestyle anymore. This means you can finally swap that unused, deep basin for a sleek, walk-in washing space that fits your daily routine perfectly.
By making this smart transition, you instantly create a much safer environment for everyone in your household. Indeed, removing that bulky obstacle reduces the risk of slips and falls quite dramatically. Since our local team loves helping neighbors in the 73540 ZIP code area, we come directly to your home to look at your layout and give you a free estimate.
Imagine stepping into a spacious, modern stall without any effort at all. On top of that, this upgrade makes your entire room feel twice as large as it actually is. Let us help you plan this exciting project today so you can enjoy your home even more.
First of all, traditional deep basins take up an immense amount of physical space while offering very little real utility for quick daily cleanups. When you replace that giant block of porcelain or acrylic with a modern, low-profile basin, you open up the entire layout. This lets you move around freely without bumping your elbows against cold walls.
To give you a better idea of how these two setups compare, let us look at some typical features:
| Feature | Old Deep Basin | New Walk-In Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Height | 14 to 18 inches high | 3 to 5 inches (low threshold) |
| Water Usage | High volume required to fill | Efficient, direct flow |
| Cleaning Effort | Hard scrubbing on your knees | Quick wipe down at standing height |
| Overall Safety | High slip hazard when stepping out | Very secure with non-slip flooring |
Secondly, cleaning a deep basin requires you to bend over at awkward angles, which really hurts your back over time. Conversely, a flat, non-slip floor paired with beautiful wall panels allows you to spray and wipe everything clean in just minutes. Which means you spend your precious weekends relaxing instead of scrubbing grout lines on your hands and knees.
Lastly, think about how much water you save when you stop filling a giant vessel just to get clean. Naturally, this change keeps your utility bills lower while still providing a deeply relaxing, hot spray. Additionally, it gives your property a fresh, updated look that potential buyers will absolutely love if you ever decide to sell.
Now, you might wonder how we actually customize these spaces to fit your personal style. We start by removing the outdated unit completely, exposing the drain pipes and wall studs behind it. After we inspect the plumbing, we install a beautiful, durable acrylic shower pan right where the old structure sat.
To help you visualize the design options, here are some popular features our customers love:
Next, we mount gorgeous, moisture-resistant wall surrounds that protect your home from mold and water damage. These panels come in many colors and patterns, meaning you can get the look of expensive stone without the heavy maintenance. Consequently, your new setup looks incredibly luxurious while remaining highly functional for years to come.
Furthermore, we can add handy features like built-in benches, corner shelves, and sturdy safety bars. Because we tailer everything to your specific physical needs, you get a personalized space that makes you feel independent. This means your daily routine becomes a joyful, stress-free experience rather than a hazardous chore.
Fortunately, our experienced crew works incredibly fast so your home does not turn into a messy construction zone for weeks. We usually finish the entire tear-out and rebuilding process in just a couple of days. This means you do not have to worry about long disruptions to your family life.
First, we carefully protect your flooring and carpets before carrying any heavy materials into your home. Then, we dismantle the old fixture safely without damaging the surrounding drywall. After that, we upgrade the drain location and secure the new plumbing connections tightly to prevent any future leaks.
Once the base and walls are locked in place, we seal every single seam with high-grade silicone. This watertight barrier ensures that moisture never creeps into your floorboards. Finally, we clean up every speck of dust so your brand-new, open washing space is ready for use immediately.
Considering the small population of Faxon, Oklahoma, keeping local homes updated is a fantastic way to protect community property values. Since the median household income here sits around $51,250, we know how important it is to spend your hard-earned money wisely on upgrades that actually last. Our durable materials resist cracking, fading, and chipping, which guarantees you get incredible value for your investment.

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 Faxon 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.
