Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
You probably stare at that deep, high-walled basin every single morning and wish for something more useful. Changing your outdated bathing area into a sleek, walk-in oasis in Lebanon, Oregon, makes your daily routine feel like a spa visit instead of a chore.
Getting rid of that clunky tub opens up your floor space significantly. This lets you move around freely without bumping your elbows against cold porcelain walls. You deserve a setup that matches your active lifestyle perfectly.
Many people living in Linn County find that their old tubs become more of a hurdle than a helpful feature as time goes on. Removing that massive obstacle grants you a sense of ease that makes washing up feel like a breeze. Plus, a flat, step-in entry prevents those scary slips that happen when you try to climb over a high edge.
Beyond the physical benefits, a modern, tiled walk-in area adds a layer of visual appeal that makes the whole house shine. You gain a sense of satisfaction every time you walk into a bathroom that looks like it belongs in a magazine. It is time to treat yourself to an upgrade that actually makes sense for your needs.
Choosing to ditch the tub for a spacious, glass-enclosed area provides you with several immediate perks. You get more room to store your shampoos and soaps, which means no more clutter crowding your floor space. This change creates an atmosphere of pure serenity without you ever needing to leave your own home.
Think about how much time you save when you do not have to scrub a giant tub surface every week. A smaller, well-designed footprint requires less elbow grease, leaving you more time to enjoy your weekend. You also save on water usage because you will find yourself opting for quick, refreshing rinses instead of filling up a massive basin.
First, our crew comes out to your residence to measure the exact space you have available. We discuss your preferences for tiles, fixtures, and doors so we can provide you with a fair estimate. You get a clear picture of what the work involves before anyone picks up a single tool.
Next, we tear out the old, heavy basin carefully to protect your existing floor and wall materials. This stage requires precision to make sure your plumbing lines remain perfectly aligned for the new hardware. You can rest assured knowing that we prioritize doing the job right the first time around.
Selecting the right finish for your walls can completely change how your room feels. You might prefer the classic look of subway tiles or perhaps you want something bold and modern like slate or natural stone. Each choice adds a touch of sophistication that elevates the entire vibe of your home.
Pairing your beautiful walls with a high-quality, adjustable shower head makes every morning feel special. You get to control the pressure and the pattern of the water, which creates a customized experience tailored just for you. This tiny change provides a level of luxury that turns a simple task into a highlight of your day.

Considering the type of glass for your enclosure matters quite a bit for maintenance. Clear glass looks modern and makes the room feel massive, while frosted glass offers you more privacy. You get to decide exactly what level of openness fits your personal preference for your daily wash.
Adding a walk-in feature represents a smart investment for your future. Even if you plan on staying here for decades, you will appreciate the added convenience as you age. It is much easier to keep a simple, open area clean than a high-sided, deep tub that becomes hard to access.

Reach out now to start the conversation about your dream bathroom project. We look forward to meeting you and helping you build a space that adds a sense of warmth to your home. You are just a few steps away from a much better morning routine.
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 Lebanon 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.
