Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Are you tired of tripping over that high wall every single morning while trying to get clean? You can finally reclaim your floor space and enjoy a much safer routine by swapping that bulky basin for a modern walk-in wet area.
Most folks living in this part of Weld County find that their old soaking basins end up acting more like giant storage bins for laundry than places to wash. When you remove that big cast iron or fiberglass monster, you instantly create a sense of openness that makes your entire room feel double the size. This change provides you with a massive boost in usable square footage while making the whole room look way more stylish.
Beyond just the look, you get to deal with significantly less scrubbing because glass panels stay cleaner than deep corners. Think about how much time you spend on your knees digging out soap scum from those impossible curves in your current setup. By choosing a low-threshold entrance, you give yourself a gift of ease that helps you stay independent in your own home for many more years.
First, you might worry that taking out the old unit will leave your bathroom unusable for weeks. However, our crew handles the removal and the new install with a focus on speed so you can get back to your normal schedule fast. We protect your floors and walls during the heavy lifting to keep your house in good shape.
After we clear the space, we waterproof everything to ensure your subfloor stays dry and sturdy forever. This step is the secret to a job that lasts because nobody wants to deal with rot or mold hidden behind the tile. You get a solid foundation that supports your new glass walls and fixtures without any leaks or worries.
Additionally, you get to pick out the exact hardware and tile patterns that match your own personal taste. Imagine standing under a rainfall head while having plenty of room to move your elbows around without hitting a shower curtain. This gives you a feeling of luxury that turns a boring morning chore into a real treat that you actually look forward to every day.

Many homeowners feel nervous about dust or mess ruining their living room while the work happens. Rest assured that we use heavy plastic barriers and floor runners to keep the construction dust contained in the bathroom area.

A bathroom that features a walk-in wet area remains a huge selling point whenever you decide to move in the future. Most potential buyers want to avoid the hassle of demo work, so they actively search for homes that are already updated. By doing this now, you enjoy the perks today and reap the financial rewards later on down the line.
Consequently, you avoid the trap of living with a room that feels stuck in the previous century. You deserve a spot that feels like a retreat rather than a chore that requires a ladder to enter. There is simply no reason to wait while your bathroom continues to frustrate you every single time you need to scrub up.
While some companies try to rush through the job with cheap materials, we focus on quality that lasts a lifetime. We use thick glass that does not rattle and tiles that stand up to constant moisture without cracking or peeling. Your peace of mind is our priority throughout every stage of the project.
Naturally, you might have questions about the timeline or the specific layout of your current room. Feel free to ask us anything during the site visit because we believe an informed owner is a happy owner.

Nothing feels better than waking up to a bathroom that actually works for you instead of against you. Let us help you plan the perfect setup that makes the most of your existing floor plan without needing a huge footprint. We are ready when you are to turn your current bathroom into the oasis you have always wanted.
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 La Salle 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.
