Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Maybe you are tired of climbing over those high porcelain walls just to get clean each morning. Replacing your bulky tub with a sleek walk-in solution helps you reclaim your floor space and keeps your routine safe.
Because you deserve a bathroom that feels like a relaxing retreat, let us look at how this change makes life much easier. You can finally ditch that clunky basin and enjoy a modern, open layout that fits your lifestyle perfectly.
Many homeowners find that their massive tubs just take up too much room without being used. Unless you love taking long baths every single night, that fixture is basically just an expensive shelf for shampoo bottles.
Switching to a spacious area for standing means you gain extra square footage in your smallest room. This makes your bathroom feel much larger and more open while giving you a fresh start.
Since you want a bathroom that provides maximum ease of use, removing the barrier is the smartest move. You will stop worrying about slipping on wet edges or straining your hips while stepping over that massive wall.
First, we carefully remove the old unit to check for any hidden water damage or rot. Most of the time, the space behind those tiles hides secrets that need addressing before we install the new setup.
Next, we prepare the plumbing to ensure your new spray head functions perfectly without any annoying leaks. You will appreciate the smooth flow of water every time you step in for a quick morning rinse.
Finally, we install your custom basin or tiled area with all the features you actually want like grab bars or built-in seats. This upgrade provides a sense of total ease that you will notice every single day.
Living in Kimble County, Texas, means you appreciate the wide open spaces and the quiet nature of our beautiful landscape. While the area might be sparsely populated, we know that your home matters just as much as a mansion in a big city.
With median household income levels varying across our region, it is smart to invest in home improvements that actually increase your property value. You are creating a space that stays functional for years to come without unnecessary maintenance.

Choosing the right materials for your new wall surround is the most fun part of the entire project. You can pick patterns that look like natural stone or go for clean white lines that make the room feel bright.
Regardless of what you choose, these surfaces stay resistant to mold and grime much better than older tub surrounds. You will spend less time scrubbing grout lines and more time enjoying your day with less stress.
This durability means your investment pays off over the long run by avoiding costly repairs. Since you want a bathroom that offers total serenity, you will love how little effort it takes to keep everything looking brand new.
Some people worry that they will miss their tub if they sell their house later on. However, most buyers these days actually prefer an accessible area for rinsing over a tub they never touch anyway.
If you are worried about the loss of storage, we can build custom niches directly into the shower walls. These handy shelves keep all your soaps and shampoos organized without needing bulky caddies hanging from the head.
Basically, you get a clean, organized, and high-functioning space that makes every single morning start on the right foot. You deserve to feel confident and secure in your own home every time you step inside your bathroom.
Doing this kind of work yourself might seem like a good idea until you start pulling pipes out of the wall. We have seen plenty of DIY disasters that ended up costing way more than just hiring a pro from the start.
Because we handle this type of transition constantly, we know how to avoid common pitfalls like improper drainage or uneven flooring. You will have peace of mind knowing the job is done right the first time.
Plus, we bring all the necessary tools and equipment to your front door, saving you the hassle of renting trucks or buying expensive gear. You simply tell us what you want and we take care of the rest.
You might be wondering how much this whole project will set you back in terms of your budget. The best way to find out is to have us visit your property for a quick look at the current setup.
We provide a detailed quote for the entire job so you know exactly what to expect before we even pick up a tool. This transparency ensures you never deal with surprise costs or hidden fees that wreck your savings.

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 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.
