Across Fayette 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 stepping over that high, slippery wall every single morning just to wash off. That old, deep basin takes up way too much space and you probably cannot even remember the last time you actually took a bath. Fortunately, local pros can swap that outdated tub for a sleek, walk-in stall that fits your daily routine much better.
This simple upgrade instantly makes your daily routine faster and safer. Because you eliminate the hazard of tripping on the rim, your peace of mind goes up immediately. On top of that, the entire room feels twice as big as it did before.
Our skilled team specializes in this exact type of bathroom transformation for homeowners who want more space and style. By choosing to update your setup, you invest in a long-term solution that looks beautiful and functions perfectly. You can request a free quote today to see how affordable this change can actually be.
When you make this change, you stop fighting against a layout that does not work for your lifestyle. Many older homes in the local area feature deep porcelain tubs that look outdated and feel incredibly cramped. Swapping that heavy unit for a spacious stall gives you room to breathe and move freely while you wash.
This project also saves you tons of cleaning time because modern acrylic and tile systems resist mold much better than old grout lines. Which means you can spend your weekends relaxing instead of scrubbing soapy residue off hard-to-reach corners. Additionally, a beautiful new glass enclosure adds a touch of high-end style that elevates the whole house.
Safety stands out as another huge reason why people choose this smart home improvement. Since the entry threshold drops down to almost nothing, everyone in your family can step in and out without any fear of slipping. This layout change keeps you independent in your own home for many years to come.
Starting a home project can feel a bit overwhelming if you do not know the steps involved. First, our friendly team visits your house to take exact measurements and discuss your design goals. During this initial meeting, we provide a detailed estimate without charging you a single dime.
Once you decide on the style, the actual transformation happens surprisingly fast. We carefully remove the old cast iron or fiberglass structure without damaging your surrounding walls or floor. After that, we update the drain lines to handle the faster water flow of a modern stall.
Finally, we install the new wall panels, the base, and your choice of beautiful fixtures. Because we plan every step ahead of time, the disruption to your daily life remains very minimal. You will have a fully functional, gorgeous new washing space before you know it.
Now, let us talk about the fun part of this project, which is choosing your custom options. You can choose built-in seating, handy grab bars, or storage niches for all your shampoos and body washes. These features ensure your daily wash feels like a visit to a high-end spa.
To help you compare the different options, here is a quick look at the main materials you can select:
| Material Type | Main Benefit | Maintenance Level |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic Panels | Fast installation and very easy to clean | Very Low |
| Ceramic Tile | High-end look with endless custom designs | Moderate |
| Natural Stone | Unique luxury and incredible durability | High |
No matter which style you select, we make sure the final result matches your taste perfectly. Your brand-new setup will reflect your personality while delivering incredible daily utility. We love helping local homeowners find the perfect balance between beauty and function.

Many people worry that removing a tub will hurt their home resale value down the road. However, most modern buyers actually prefer a spacious, modern stall over a dusty tub they will never use. As long as your house has at least one other bathtub, this change usually increases your market appeal.

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.
