Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Do you hate climbing into a high wall just to wash yourself every morning? This trusty trade lets you swap that bulky plastic tub for a sleek walk-in shower. Which means you can finally avoid any scary slips and falls while trying to rinse off your soap.
Now is the best time to upgrade your daily hygiene routine without losing your mind over messy remodeling projects. Plus our local crew brings all the right tools straight to your doorstep in Sullivan County. That way you get a gorgeous new washing stall without lifting a single heavy finger.
Old bathing basins take up way too much precious floor space in compact properties. Removing them creates a much more open atmosphere for your entire morning routine. Consequently you will enjoy a breathing room that makes getting ready feel like a true luxury experience.
High walls cause major safety hazards for older folks or anyone with stiff joints. Lowering the entry barrier keeps your household safe from dangerous bathroom accidents. Therefore your family gains total peace of mind every single day.
Our hardworking builders tear out that rusty old basin and haul away all the heavy debris. After that we inspect the underlying subfloor for any hidden water damage or mold growth. This lets us build a rock-solid foundation for your brand-new standing shower enclosure.
Next we install waterproof backing boards and custom wall surrounds to stop leaks in their tracks. Following those steps we put in a sturdy shower pan with proper drainage slopes. This meticulous process ensures your wet area stays watertight for many decades ahead.
Clear glass panels make small washrooms look twice as big as they actually are. They stop water from splashing onto your nice bathroom floors while showing off your cool tile work. Because of this your space gains an incredible visual upgrade that impresses all your visitors.
Frameless designs offer a super clean look that is remarkably easy to wipe down on weekends. Alternatively you can choose textured glass if you prefer a bit more privacy during your showers. Either way you get a modern fixture tailored to your exact taste and budget.
Adding built-in benches gives you a nice spot to sit down and relax while washing your legs. Meanwhile heavy-duty grab bars provide extra stability when stepping in and out of the spray zone. This smart planning lets you age in place gracefully right inside your beloved home.
Good lighting choices make your new washing station feel bright and welcoming instead of dark and cramped. Recessed waterproof lights highlight the stylish shower walls and keep every corner well illuminated. Thus you never have to squint while shaving or washing your hair again.
| Option Type | Main Benefit | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Tub | Good for soaking young kids | Growing families |
| Walk-In Shower | Safe and easy access | Daily efficiency |
| Full Wet Room | Maximum luxury feel | Large master suites |
Looking at these choices helps you figure out what works best for your daily lifestyle. Every household has different needs when it comes to morning routines and evening wind-down habits. Therefore weighing your options carefully saves you from buyer remorse down the road.
Upgrading your wet area also boosts your overall property value quite a bit. Future buyers love seeing modern low-maintenance fixtures instead of stained bathtubs that need constant scrubbing. That makes this project a smart financial investment for your household.
Living out in a tight-knit region means neighbors know each other and quality craftsmanship matters deeply. Our crew travels right to your zip code 63544 to deliver top-notch renovation services without delay. That local presence guarantees you get fast response times and friendly neighborhood support.
Dealing with local building codes can feel confusing if you try to tackle the paperwork alone. Fortunately our team handles all the necessary permits so you can just sit back and relax. This hands-off approach spares you from endless bureaucratic headaches.
Home improvements always require a realistic budget to make sure things go smoothly from start to finish. We provide upfront pricing with zero hidden fees lurking in the fine print. Consequently you stay in total control of your finances throughout the entire construction phase.
Some minor hiccups can pop up when tearing out decades-old plumbing fixtures hidden behind tiled walls. However our experienced technicians spot those issues early and fix them before they turn into major disasters. This proactive mindset keeps your project on track and within your planned budget.
YouTube videos make plumbing look simple until you flood your subfloor on a Tuesday afternoon. Hiring trained professionals ensures your pipes line up correctly and waterproof seals hold strong. Thus you avoid costly water damage repairs that DIY mistakes usually cause.
Specialized tools like tile saws and waterproof membranes cost a pretty penny if you buy them for one job. Letting our crew bring our own gear saves you from wasting money on equipment you will never use again. On top of that we finish the installation in a fraction of the time.

Do not let another week go by struggling with that slippery and outdated bathtub in your home. Take action now and experience the absolute joy of a safe and refreshing morning shower. Your future self will thank you every single time you step onto your gorgeous new floor.
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 Green Castle 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.
