Are you tired of tripping over that high wall just to get clean every morning? Upgrading your outdated washing station in Hollis, Oklahoma, can change how you start your day forever by removing that clunky basin.
Many people realize that their standard soaking basin just takes up way too much room in their house. By replacing it with a sleek floor-level entry point, you suddenly get a lot more space to move around. This change improves the physical accessibility of your primary washroom significantly for everyone living there.
Beyond just the extra space, you save tons of time cleaning those hard corners. Grime and soap scum love to hide in the deep curves of a traditional basin. A streamlined walk-in stall keeps things simple and prevents dirt from piling up in places you cannot reach easily.
Think about how much safer you will feel without having to climb over a ledge every single time. That height difference often leads to slips, especially when the floor gets wet or slippery. A level entrance helps you avoid those nasty falls while keeping your daily routine smooth.
Living in a town with a median income around thirty-five thousand dollars means you want your money to go toward things that actually last. Putting your resources into a high-quality renovation of your bathing area adds real value to your property. Potential buyers often look for modern fixtures that show you took care of the house.
Choosing materials that offer a sense of physical ease helps create a beautiful sanctuary right inside your own four walls. You deserve a space that feels like a retreat rather than a chore to maintain. High-quality tile work or stone finishes provide a pleasant aesthetic that transforms the room instantly.
Since the population is under two thousand, you probably know how important it is to hire people you can trust nearby. A local handyperson understands the specific quirks of houses in the 73550 ZIP code area. You get personalized attention that you simply will not find with big corporations from out of state.
First, you need to measure the footprint left behind by the old equipment to see what fits best. Most standard basins are about sixty inches long, which gives you plenty of room for a nice bench or grab bars. You want to make sure the drainage works perfectly with the new plumbing setup.
Then, pick your materials like glass doors or sturdy curtains to keep the water exactly where it belongs. Clear glass makes the whole room look much larger by letting light flow through the entire space. If you prefer more privacy, textured glass or stone walls provide a nice touch of secluded luxury.

Starting this project does not have to be stressful or confusing if you have the right help. We walk through your house with you to look at the current plumbing and structural layout. This allows us to spot any potential issues before we even pick up a single tool.
Everything gets covered during our initial visit so you never have to worry about surprise costs later on. We explain exactly how the removal of the old unit happens and what materials will replace it. This transparency ensures that you feel good about the progress at every single stage.
Once we agree on the plan, we order all the necessary parts to ensure a speedy installation. You will be amazed at how quickly your bathroom changes from a relic of the past into a modern marvel. We take pride in leaving the workspace cleaner than we found it.
Customizing your showering experience means you can add things like built-in shelves for your soaps and shampoos. No more balancing bottles on the edge of a tub where they fall and create a mess. Everything stays organized and within reach for your morning routine.
Maybe you want to include a rain head shower for that relaxing feeling you get at a spa. These fixtures provide a gentle flow of water that feels much better than a standard high-pressure nozzle. You get to enjoy this level of pleasantness every single day of the week.
Consider adding a handheld sprayer as well to make cleaning the walls a breeze after you finish. This feature also helps if you need to wash a pet or rinse off your feet after working in the yard. It is all about making your daily life simpler and more efficient.
Investing in your property in the Sooner State often pays off when you decide to move on to a new chapter. Buyers love homes that feature updated bathrooms because it shows the house is well-maintained. You are essentially putting money back into your own pocket for the future.
Furthermore, these updates are much more affordable than a full-scale bathroom remodel that requires moving walls. You keep the plumbing mostly in the same place while swapping the hardware for something newer. This keeps your costs low while providing a high return on your investment.
If you ever feel worried about the budget, just remember that we provide a free estimate for every single job. You can see the numbers clearly before you decide to commit to anything at all. This gives you the freedom to choose what works for your bank account.
Some people worry about losing the option to soak, but modern designs are very adaptable to your needs. You can choose a deeper base if you still want to fill it up with water for a quick soak. It is really about having the best of both worlds in one package.
Every single home has its own unique character and potential for improvement. We look at the specific layout of your washroom to determine the best way to maximize every inch of space. You get a custom solution rather than a one-size-fits-all product from a box.
Because we serve the local area, we can come out whenever you are ready to talk about your vision. You will not have to wait around for weeks to get a response from a busy office. We value your time and make sure we show up exactly when we promise.
Before we start, we protect your floors and existing vanity to prevent any damage during the demolition phase. The old tub gets removed piece by piece to keep everything safe and quiet during the work. You do not have to worry about a massive mess spreading through your house.
After the old unit is gone, we inspect the subfloor to make sure everything is dry and solid. This is the perfect time to fix any minor issues like loose wood or old pipes hidden in the wall. You get a rock-solid foundation for your brand-new shower installation.
Then we install the new drain and waterproofing membrane to ensure no leaks ever happen. Proper waterproofing is the secret to a bathroom that lasts for decades without any hidden problems. We take our time with this step because we know it matters for your peace of mind.
Finally, we install your choice of wall panels or tile to finish off the look. You get to pick colors and textures that match your own sense of taste and style. Once the door or curtain is hung, you have a brand-new space to enjoy.

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 Hollis 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.
