Across Leake 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.
Getting stuck in a deep tub every single morning starts to feel like a real workout after a while.
If you are tired of stepping over that high porcelain barrier just to wash your hair, a sleek and open washing space is the ultimate fix.
This smart upgrade instantly makes your daily routine feel much faster and infinitely safer too.
Imagine stepping into a roomy stall with modern glass doors instead of a cramped basin.
This simple change gives your entire bathroom a massive boost in visual space.
We specialize in tearing out those old, bulky basins and replacing them with low-profile bases that fit perfectly into the exact same footprint.
Our team brings years of hands-on experience to help you plan this transformation without any of the typical renovation headaches.
Because we want to make this process incredibly easy for you, our local crew offers a completely free on-site consultation to map out your layout.
During this visit, we look at your current plumbing setup and give you a detailed price estimate at zero cost.
You get a clear picture of the timeline and the budget before we even pick up a wrench.
This means you can make an informed decision for your home without any pressure or hidden fees.
First of all, 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 eliminate the biggest safety hazard in your home.
This crucial upgrade lets you age in place peacefully or just enjoy a stress-free wash after a long day of hard work.
Another awesome benefit is how much easier a flat pan is to clean compared to old cast iron or acrylic basins.
You can say goodbye to kneeling on the hard floor to scrub away stubborn soap scum.
Modern non-porous materials resist mold growth, which keeps your family healthier and saves you hours of chores every single week.
| Feature | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Low-step threshold | Prevents slips and makes entering the stall effortless. |
| Acrylic wall surrounds | Wipes clean instantly without scrubbing moldy grout lines. |
| Built-in seating options | Allows you to sit down and unwind comfortably while washing. |
| Custom corner shelving | Organizes your shampoos and soaps within arm's reach. |
Additionally, modernizing this space can actually boost your property value if you ever decide to sell down the road.
Most busy home buyers today actively prefer a spacious stall over a dusty basin they will never use for soaking.
So, this renovation is not just an investment in your daily peace of mind, but also a smart financial move for your household.
To start, you get to choose from a massive variety of wall patterns that look exactly like expensive stone or modern subway tile.
These durable panels do not require any sealing, which means they will look brand new for decades.
On top of that, we can install heavy-duty grab bars that match your fixtures perfectly so safety looks stylish instead of institutional.
Next, you should think about what kind of showerhead will make your mornings feel like a luxury getaway.
A sliding hand-held wand lets you direct the water exactly where you need it, making it super easy to wash pets or clean the stall itself.
We also offer built-in benches and footrests to give you a stable spot to relax while you rinse off the grime of the day.
Depending on your budget, you might want to install sliding glass doors with a protective coating that repels hard water spots.
These doors keep all the steam inside the stall, creating a warm environment that feels amazing on stiff muscles.
Alternatively, a doorless walk-in design offers a modern, minimalist look that makes your bathroom feel twice as big as it actually is.
Whichever style you pick, we make sure the floor slopes perfectly toward the drain so you never have to deal with standing water.
Proper drainage is the most critical part of this job, and we take our time to test the flow before we call the project complete.
Our high school level budget-friendly options ensure you do not have to break the bank to get a stunning result.
Now, you might be worried about your home being a messy construction zone for weeks on end.
Fortunately, because we are replacing a unit that is already plumbed, the actual conversion usually takes just a couple of days.
Our skilled crew protects your floors, works fast, and cleans up every single speck of dust before we leave your home.
We start by carefully removing your old heavy fixture, taking great care not to damage the surrounding drywall or flooring.
Then, we inspect the subfloor underneath to fix any hidden water damage or wood rot before we install the new base.
This thorough approach guarantees that your new setup is built on a rock-solid foundation that will never leak or sag.
After the base is secured, we run the new plumbing lines and install your chosen wall panels with waterproof adhesive.
Finally, we seal every single seam with high-grade silicone to create a completely watertight barrier.
You can rest easy knowing that your home is fully protected against hidden moisture issues that can cause expensive damage down the road.

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.
