Our Jonesboro crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Jackson Parish within days.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Are you tired of climbing over that high, slippery wall just to rinse off after a long day? Switching your old basin for a sleek, walk-in wet area makes your daily routine safer and way more stylish.
Most folks in Jackson Parish know exactly what I mean when I talk about those clunky, outdated porcelain monsters taking up way too much floor space. By removing that heavy fixture, you reclaim precious square footage that makes your whole room feel much larger. This change gives you a sense of total ease every single morning.
Living in a place like Jonesboro, you deserve a house that works as hard as you do without any unnecessary stress. When you choose to upgrade your washroom, you stop fighting with outdated hardware that serves no real purpose in your current life. This simple act turns a cramped corner into a spa-like retreat right at home.
Because your house is your sanctuary, you should enjoy every inch of it without worrying about tripping hazards. Deep basins often become giant magnets for dirty laundry or dust bunnies that are hard to reach. Getting rid of these relics lets you enjoy a clean, open layout that requires much less scrubbing and way more relaxing.
Furthermore, these tall structures often present a real physical challenge for anyone with bad knees or stiff joints. Replacing them with a low-threshold basin entrance means you can step inside without lifting your feet high off the ground. This upgrade provides a high level of physical relief and makes your space feel truly welcoming for everyone.
Consider how much time you spend cleaning around those impossible cracks where the tub meets the wall. A seamless, custom-tiled or acrylic floor finish eliminates those nasty spots that always seem to collect grime. You will find that keeping your washroom sparkling becomes a quick task instead of a weekend project.
Now, you might wonder what kind of style fits best in our local area where the median household income sits around $17,456. You do not need to spend a fortune to create a high-quality look that adds value to your property. Choosing the right materials makes all the difference in how your room feels and how it holds up over time.
Maybe you prefer the classic look of subway tiles or perhaps you want something modern like large-format stone panels. Whatever your taste, the goal is to create a sense of harmony that matches the rest of your home. A professional touch ensures that everything flows perfectly and looks intentional rather than slapped together.
Another major benefit involves the variety of showerheads and wall-mounted controls available to you these days. Whether you want a rainfall experience or a high-pressure spray, your new setup can handle it all with grace. These additions bring a touch of luxury into your daily routine that you will appreciate every single time you step inside.
Because you live in the 71251 zip code, you know that our climate can get pretty humid during the summer months.

Additionally, local contractors understand the specific needs of families in our population of 4,560 people. We provide honest estimates that respect your budget while delivering results that last for years to come. You will never feel pressured into buying features that you do not actually need or want.

Even if you plan on staying here for a long time, the increased accessibility is a huge selling point if you ever decide to move. A modern, accessible wet area is a feature that almost every buyer looks for nowadays.
Some people think that ripping out a large basin will hurt their property value or make the room feel incomplete. That is simply not true when the job gets done by someone who knows what they are doing. A well-designed area for rinsing off looks much cleaner and more open than a dusty, outdated tub ever could.
Another fear is that the renovation process will take weeks and leave your home in total disarray. While any construction involves a bit of dust, we work efficiently to minimize the impact on your daily life. We keep our tools organized and tidy up every evening so you can maintain a sense of calm in your house.

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 Jonesboro 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.
