Our Lincoln crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Grafton County within days.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Do you ever stare at that bulky, outdated porcelain tub and wish for something more useful? Getting rid of those high walls lets you step into a modern space that feels way better.
Most people living in the heart of Grafton County want a bathroom that actually works for their daily routine. You probably deal with a tight schedule and need a fast way to get clean without climbing over a steep ledge every morning.
This upgrade changes your entire morning flow by giving you a sleek and accessible area instead of a giant basin. Choosing this path saves you time while adding a sense of relaxation to your daily rinse.
Replacing that heavy basin with a custom tiled or acrylic stall offers you major perks that you will notice right away. You get more floor space which makes your bathroom look bigger and brighter than it ever did before.
Beyond just looking better, this change helps you avoid those annoying slips and falls that happen when climbing over high walls. Safety matters for everyone, especially if you plan on staying in your home for a long time.
On top of that, you stop wasting water filling up a giant tub that you only sit in once a year. Modern stalls use efficient heads that give you a great rinse while keeping your utility bills nice and low.
| Feature | Your Concrete Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Low barrier entry | Safer access for everyone | |
| Vertical wall space | More room for shelves | |
| Quick cleaning | Less time scrubbing grout | |
| Modern fixtures | Higher home resale value |
Living in a beautiful place like the gateway to the White Mountains means you appreciate quality and local charm. You deserve a home that matches the nice vibe of the region while keeping things practical for your busy life.
With a population of around 865, you probably know that having a reliable contractor matters when you want things done right the first time. You want someone who respects your home and leaves the place better than they found it.
Since the median household income is around $56,193, you want to make smart choices that offer real value for your money. Making your space more functional is one of the best investments you can make for your own day-to-day happiness.
First, you need to think about where your current plumbing sits so we can keep costs down by using the existing drains. Moving pipes around is fine, but it does add extra work and a bit more cost to your final estimate.
Next, you get to pick out the materials that match the style you want for your home. Maybe you like the look of subway tile or perhaps you prefer the low maintenance of a solid acrylic surround.
Whichever path you choose, you gain a fresh look that makes your morning routine feel like a treat. Plus, modern materials resist mold much better than old tile, which means less time cleaning and more time enjoying your day.
Starting this project begins when you request a free estimate to see how everything fits into your budget. We come out to your property, measure the area, and talk about exactly what you want to achieve.
After we agree on the plan, we work quickly to remove the old unit and prepare the floor for the new layout. You will be surprised at how much bigger the room feels once that massive tub is finally gone.
Throughout the process, we keep dust to a minimum and clean up after ourselves so you can keep living your life. We know how stressful renovations can be, so we focus on getting the job done without taking over your house.
Think about how often you plan to use the space and who else might be using it on a regular basis. If you have kids or guests, durable surfaces are a must because they stand up to heavy daily use.
For people who want a luxurious feel, we can install custom glass doors that make your bathroom look like a spa. A nice glass enclosure gives you a high-end sense of ease and really opens up the room.
If you prefer a simpler approach, we offer various curtains and rod options that fit any budget perfectly. No matter what you choose, you will love the way it feels to step into a clean, modern area every single day.
Some people worry that getting rid of a tub will hurt their home value when it comes time to sell. However, most buyers these days actually prefer a large, beautiful stall over an old, clunky tub that never gets used.
Another concern is the time it takes to finish the work, but we pride ourselves on efficiency. We focus on getting your bathroom back in working order as fast as possible so you can get back to your normal routine.
Even if your bathroom is on the smaller side, we have tricks to make everything fit just right. You would be amazed at how much storage we can add into the walls once the tub is out of the way.
Would you like a built-in seat so you can sit down while you wash? Adding a bench gives you a spot to relax or shave your legs without needing to balance on one foot.
How about adding recessed niches for your shampoo and soap so you do not need those ugly plastic hanging baskets? These little details make a huge difference in how organized and tidy your bathroom stays over time.
Finally, you can choose specific finishes for your hardware, like brushed nickel or matte black to match your lighting. These touches add a level of sophistication that makes the room feel like it belongs in a magazine.
Seeing the potential for your bathroom is the first step toward getting the house you have always wanted. You should not have to settle for an outdated layout when a simple change makes such a big impact.
Whenever you are ready to move forward, we are here to provide a detailed and honest estimate for your project. You can ask us any questions about the timeline, the materials, or the design choices that work best for your specific ZIP code.
Making your home work for you is the best way to ensure you stay happy in your space for many years. We look forward to helping you transform your bathroom into the perfect spot for your daily morning ritual.
Once you decide to move forward, we double check every measurement to make sure nothing goes wrong during the build. Precision is the key to a watertight install that lasts for a long time without any leaks.
We pay close attention to the waterproofing layer because it protects your walls and floor from moisture damage. You get the peace of mind knowing that your investment is built to stand the test of time.
If you have specific ideas about the tile patterns or color schemes, we are more than happy to listen and offer advice. Our goal is to bring your vision to life while keeping the process simple and stress-free for you.
Ready to see how much your bathroom conversion will cost? Requesting a free estimate is the best way to get all the info you need without any pressure or obligation.
We show up on time, listen to your ideas, and provide a clear plan that fits your budget perfectly. You will get a professional opinion on what works best for your specific layout in your local area.
Do not wait for that tub to become more of a nuisance than it already is. Give yourself the gift of a modern, efficient, and beautiful space that makes you feel great every single time you step inside.
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 Lincoln 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.
