Across Lamb County, bathtubs that retired years ago give way to showers built in their own footprint.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Your old, deep tub probably feels more like a dangerous obstacle course than a place to relax these days. That is why swaping it out for a walk-in stall makes so much sense for your daily routine. This smart upgrade instantly boosts your safety while making your whole bathroom look twice as big.
If you are tired of scrubbing those high tile walls and stepping over a massive barrier just to wash off, we have some great news for you. Our team specializes in transforming these outdated setups into sleek, modern walk-in spaces. We come right to your home to look at your setup and give you a free estimate on the spot.
Think about how much easier your mornings will be when you do not have to climb into a giant ceramic basin anymore. Plus, this change adds serious value to your property. Let us take a look at how we can make this happen for you without any stress or mess.
Safety is usually the main reason people decide to make this change in their homes. Since wet porcelain gets slicker than ice, eliminating that high step-over height reduces your slip risks dramatically. You can finally breathe easy knowing your daily wash is completely worry-free.
Another awesome benefit is the sheer amount of room you gain. By removing the bulky basin, you open up the floor plan and create a sense of cozy relaxation. This lets you enjoy a spacious stall with plenty of elbow room to move around.
On top of that, cleaning becomes a total breeze. Modern acrylic walls and solid bases do not have those annoying grout lines that trap mold and mildew. Which means you will spend way less time on your knees scrubbing and more time enjoying your beautiful home.
| Feature | Old Tub Setup | New Walk-In Upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 15 to 20 inches | Low-profile (2 to 4 inches) |
| Maintenance | Heavy scrubbing of dirty grout | Easy-wipe non-porous surfaces |
| Space Utilization | Cramped and narrow | Open, airy, and accessible |
| Safety Features | Slippery curved surfaces | Slip-resistant floors and grab bars |
First, our crew carefully extracts your existing cast iron or steel basin without damaging the surrounding drywall. After we clear out the old unit, we inspect the subfloor and wood framing underneath for any hidden water damage or rot. This crucial step ensures your new foundation rests on solid, dry timber.
Next, we update the old drain pipes to align perfectly with the new center or side drain location. Because old basins use smaller pipes, we often upgrade the plumbing connections to handle water flow much faster. This prevents any annoying pooling around your feet while you wash.
Then, we secure a durable, slip-resistant pan directly to your subfloor. This sturdy foundation features a very low threshold, making entry and exit incredibly simple for everyone in your household. We test the level multiple times so water flows perfectly toward the drain every single time.
After the pan is set, we install beautiful, waterproof wall panels that look exactly like real stone or tile. These panels seal tightly to keep moisture from ever getting behind your walls. Your new setup will stay dry, solid, and beautiful for decades to come.
Now, you get to choose the fun parts like rain showerheads, sliding glass doors, and built-in seating. Adding a fold-down bench or a corner seat gives you a spot to relax and wash safely. These small touches transform a simple daily chore into a luxurious spa experience right in your home.
Additionally, we can install sturdy grab bars that match your hardware beautifully instead of looking like a cold hospital room. Placing these bars strategically near the entrance gives you extra leverage and balance exactly where you need it. You get complete utility without sacrificing the gorgeous look of your room.
This layout change also lets you add recessed niches for all your shampoos, soaps, and razors. Instead of using messy plastic caddies that hang from the pipe, you get clean, integrated storage. Your space stays organized, clutter-free, and beautiful.
Moreover, we offer beautiful glass enclosures that slide open effortlessly to keep water contained. These heavy-duty glass panels let natural light fill the stall, making the entire bathroom feel much brighter. You will love how much larger and more open your space looks when we finish.

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.
