Getting stuck climbing over a high porcelain wall every single morning gets old really fast. You deserve a modern, low-profile entry that transforms your daily routine into a breezy, walk-in experience. By swapping that outdated basin for a sleek walk-in design, you instantly open up your room and make it feel three times bigger.
This simple upgrade eliminates tripping hazards while giving your space a polished, contemporary look. Our local team comes right to your door to plan this layout change with you. We offer a totally free estimate to help you map out the perfect upgrade for your home.
Imagine never having to scrub those hard-to-reach corners of a deep basin again. Instead, you get a clean, open area that fits your active lifestyle perfectly. Let us help you make this smart transition without any of the usual renovation headaches.
Think about how much space that old clunky basin actually wastes in your small bathroom. When you replace it with a modern, low-clearance pan, you reclaim valuable floor real estate. This change makes your entire washing area feel incredibly roomy and accessible.
Actually, many homeowners find they do not even use their deep tubs anymore. You probably prefer a quick, refreshing wash over a long, time-consuming soak anyway. It just makes sense to adapt your home to how you actually live your life today.
Besides, a modern walk-in setup looks incredibly sharp and boosts your property value. Buyers absolutely love seeing these sleek, contemporary upgrades when they tour homes. It is a win-win situation for your daily convenience and your long-term investment.
Stepping over a high ledge on a wet floor is a recipe for a nasty slip. By lowering that threshold to just an inch or two, you create a much safer environment for everyone in your household. This is especially true if you plan on staying in your home as you get older.
On top of that, we can easily add stylish grab bars and built-in seating during the installation. These features do not have to look like a clinical hospital room anymore. We use beautiful, modern finishes that blend seamlessly with your chosen design.
Nobody actually enjoys spending their weekends scrubbing stubborn grime out of old grout lines. Our modern solid-surface wall panels resist mold and mildew naturally. This means you will spend way less time cleaning and more time enjoying your beautiful new space.
To make things even better, these non-porous materials do not require heavy chemical cleaners to stay sparkling. A simple wipe down with a damp cloth keeps everything looking brand new. You save money on cleaning supplies while protecting your lungs from harsh fumes.
| Feature | Old Deep Basin Setup | New Walk-In Design |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 15 to 18 inches | 1 to 3 inches |
| Cleaning Effort | High (grout scrubbing) | Low (wipe-clean panels) |
| Space Utilization | Cramped and bulky | Open and airy style |
First, we start by carefully measuring your existing footprint during our initial visit. We want to make sure your new setup fits perfectly without requiring major structural changes. This keeps your costs down and speeds up the entire installation process.
After that, we help you select the perfect materials, colors, and fixtures for your new setup. We offer a wide variety of durable acrylics, beautiful simulated stone, and classic tile options. You get to customize every single detail to match your personal taste.
Next, our skilled crew handles the demolition with absolute care and respect for your home. We haul away the old heavy cast iron or fiberglass basin so you do not have to lift a finger. We keep the workspace clean and tidy from start to finish.
Once we expose the subfloor, we inspect your drain lines and valve systems to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. We often upgrade old two-handle valves to modern pressure-balancing systems. This prevents sudden temperature drops when someone else flushes a toilet in your house.
Additionally, we ensure the new drain is perfectly aligned for quick water disposal. Proper sloping is absolutely critical to prevent pooling and leaks down the road. We take our time to get this foundation step exactly right.
Now, we install the custom-fit pan and secure it tightly to your subfloor. This creates a rock-solid, leak-proof foundation that will last for decades. We use advanced sealing techniques to guarantee water stays exactly where it belongs.
Following that, we mount the beautiful wall surrounds and seal all the joints with high-grade silicone. This watertight barrier protects your home from hidden water damage and costly wood rot. Finally, we install your chosen showerhead, sliding glass doors, and accessories.
Every home has its own unique character, and your bathroom should reflect that personal style. Whether you prefer a sleek minimalist look or a warm rustic feel, we have the materials to match. You can choose from gorgeous matte black fixtures, classic brushed nickel, or shiny chrome.
Furthermore, you can add custom shelving nooks to keep your shampoos and soaps perfectly organized. No more messy plastic caddies hanging awkwardly from your showerhead. These built-in features keep your new space looking uncluttered and highly organized.
We can even install beautiful glass enclosure panels instead of a traditional curtain. This lets natural light flow through the room, making the space feel incredibly bright. It is those little details that turn a simple remodel into a true daily sanctuary.
Many homeowners worry that a project like this will take weeks and leave them without a bathroom. Fortunately, our experienced team can often complete the entire transformation in just a couple of days. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your busy daily schedule.

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 Jones Creek 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.
