Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Are you tired of climbing over that high wall just to wash your hair? Making the switch to a sleek walk-in space changes how you start your morning forever.
This simple upgrade makes your home feel much more modern and practical. You gain so much room when you remove that clunky old basin taking up all your floor space.
Most houses in this beautiful corner of Lackawanna County were built with heavy metal or plastic tubs that nobody actually uses. You likely find that standing in a small basin creates more stress than any kind of relaxation.
Upgrading your layout gives you a sense of ease that makes every single day feel better. You get extra room to stretch your arms while you scrub away the stress of the day.
This change also adds real value to your property for the future. People looking for homes these days hate scrubbing grout lines in those deep, awkward corners that never seem to get clean.
When you choose a flat entry system, you avoid any tripping hazards that might cause a fall. This provides a level of peace of mind that you just cannot put a price on.
Because you have direct access to your water controls, you can adjust the heat before you even step inside. This keeps you from shivering while you wait for the spray to reach the right temperature.
Living in this part of Pennsylvania means you deal with unique weather throughout the year. You want a home that handles these shifts with style and sturdy design.
With a median household income around thirty-six thousand dollars, you want smart ways to spend your hard-earned money. Investing in a permanent change to your plumbing setup pays for itself through daily utility.
The small-town vibe of this zip code area makes it a great place to settle down. You deserve a bathroom that matches the quality of life you work so hard to maintain.
First, you tell us what you want so we can give you a clear plan. We come out to your house to see exactly what kind of pipes hide behind your walls.
Next, we tear out the old unit while being very careful with your existing floor. This lets us build a new base that stays dry and prevents any mold issues.
Finally, we install the new panels and fixtures you picked out to match your taste. You get to watch the transformation happen in just a few days of honest work.
| Feature | Old Tub Style | New Walk-in Style | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry Height | High and dangerous | Low and flat | |
| Cleaning Ease | Hard to reach corners | Open and smooth | |
| Space Usage | Cluttered and cramped | Wide and airy | |
| Modern Look | Outdated and heavy | Clean and sharp |
You have plenty of choices when it comes to the walls and the floor of your new area. Stone finishes look great but require a bit more attention during your weekly scrub.
Acrylic options provide a smooth surface that keeps grime from sticking to the walls. This makes your chores much faster and gives you more time to enjoy your evening.
We suggest using glass doors instead of plastic curtains to open up the view. This makes your bathroom feel twice as big as it was before we started.
You might think that your old basin is doing just fine for right now. However, hidden leaks often rot the wood underneath your floorboards without you even knowing it.
Catching these issues early saves you thousands in repairs that you would otherwise need later. Think of this switch as a way to protect your floor while making your life easier.
Your needs are different from your neighbor's needs, and your layout should reflect that. We help you pick shelves that stay within reach so you never drop your soap again.
Adding a built-in seat gives you a place to rest while you finish your grooming. This creates a refined vibe that you will appreciate every single time you use the room.
If you have kids or pets, you know how hard it is to keep a tub clean. Switching to an open design lets you hose down the area in seconds.
You do not need to spend a fortune to get high-quality results in your home. We prioritize durable materials that look great and stand up to heavy daily use.
When you reach out us for a free estimate, we explain every single part of the cost. You get to see where your money goes so you never feel surprised by the bill.

Do you worry about the mess during the construction phase? We bring drop cloths and vacuum gear to make sure we leave your house cleaner than we found it.

Do you have specific ideas about the color or the style you want? We carry samples of all the best materials so you can feel them before choosing.
Your bathroom is the first place you go when you wake up and the last place you see before bed. You deserve a space that does not make you feel frustrated or annoyed.

We look at the slope of your floor to ensure water moves toward the drain. This keeps your floor dry and prevents that annoying puddle from forming in the corner.
Proper ventilation is another thing we check during our first visit to your home. We want to ensure your new area stays dry and keeps smelling fresh for years.

Our crew is ready to show up on time and finish the work with care. You are just a quick message away from having the bathroom you have always wanted.
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 Greenwood 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.
