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. That giant, outdated tub takes up way too much room and barely gets used for actual soaking anymore. By swapping that old basin out for a sleek, walk-in option, you instantly make your daily routine safer and much faster.
This smart upgrade opens up your whole room and gives you a spacious area to stand without feeling cramped. Local homeowners in Lincoln County are making this change to modernise their homes and save water. We can help you plan this project easily, starting with a free on-site design consultation and estimate.
Think about how much easier your life gets when you do not have to worry about tripping accidents. Our crew specializes in tearing out those bulky, unused iron or acrylic tubs and replacing them with beautiful, low-maintenance enclosures. You get a fresh look that fits your budget and matches your style perfectly.
Let us face the facts because nobody actually has time for a long soak in a drafty tub during a busy work week. When you replace that giant water-guzzler with a streamlined stall, you get a ton of extra floor space. This extra room allows for larger vanity setups or just more breathing room in a tight layout.
Actually, safety is the number one reason people reach out to us to do this specific job. Slipping on a wet, curved surface is incredibly scary, especially if you plan to stay in your home as you get older. By choosing a flat, slip-resistant base, you gain immense peace of mind every time you step in to clean up.
On top of that, cleaning a flat wall system is a breeze compared to scrubbing those nasty, hard-to-reach corners of a deep tub. You will spend way less time on your knees with harsh chemicals. This means you get more free time to enjoy your weekends instead of doing brutal chores.
| Feature of the New Setup | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Low-profile entry threshold | Virtually eliminates tripping hazards and makes entering effortless |
| Non-porous acrylic wall surrounds | Prevents mold growth so you rarely have to scrub grout lines |
| Built-in seating and grab bars | Provides maximum stability and support for loved ones |
First, we sit down with you to look at your existing layout and discuss your storage needs. We measure your space down to the millimeter so your new unit fits like a glove. This careful planning ensures we do not run into unexpected surprises once the demolition starts.
Next, we carefully remove the old porcelain or steel behemoth without damaging your surrounding walls or floor. Our team disposes of the heavy debris so you do not have to lift a finger. After that, we inspect the underlying pipes to make sure everything is dry and structurally sound.
Then, we install the new, watertight base and secure the gorgeous wall panels in place. We seal every joint with high-grade silicone to prevent any future moisture issues. Finally, we clean up the workspace completely, leaving you with a sparkling new setup ready for use.
Now, you get to have some fun choosing the look of your new wall surrounds. You can select patterns that mimic expensive natural stone like marble or slate without the high price tag. These modern materials look incredibly high-end while remaining very easy to wipe down.
Which means you can customize the fixtures to match your existing sink hardware perfectly. Whether you prefer brushed nickel, matte black, or classic chrome, we have options that will make your jaw drop. We also install custom shelving units to keep your shampoos and soaps organized.
On top of that, we can add built-in benches or folding seats for ultimate relaxation. This creates a spa-like atmosphere where you can unwind under a warm stream of water. You deserve a space that feels like a personal retreat after a long day of hard work.
To start, you should consider a handheld spray nozzle alongside your main overhead showerhead. This combination makes washing your hair, rinsing the walls, or even washing the family dog incredibly simple. You get total control over where the water goes without splashing the entire room.
This lets you save money on your monthly utility bills by using modern, eco-friendly flow restrictors. You still get strong water pressure, but you use a fraction of the hot water. It is a fantastic way to be kind to the planet while keeping your hard-earned cash in your wallet.
Since water damage can ruin a home quickly, we take moisture barriers very seriously. We apply advanced sealing techniques behind the walls where you cannot see them. This hidden protection prevents wood rot and keeps mold from growing in your wall cavities.
Because of this thoroughness, your investment remains protected for decades to come. DIY jobs often skip these crucial steps, leading to costly repairs down the road. Trusting local professionals ensures the job gets done right the first time around.

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 Hustonville 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.
