Our McClure crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Henry County within days.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
If you find that stepping over a tall porcelain wall has become a major pain in your daily life, you are not alone. Switching out that clunky basin for a sleek, walk-in area can totally change your morning routine in Henry County.
This simple change brings a sense of ease that makes your home feel much more modern. By removing the high-sided tub, you gain so much more room to actually breathe while you scrub up.
Most people around our small town of 644 residents struggle with these old, dated tubs that take up half the room. You deserve a setup that fits your life instead of forcing you to climb a mountain just to get clean.
Because we know the local area, we understand that finding someone reliable to tear out that heavy cast iron can be a real headache. Luckily, our team handles the heavy lifting so you do not have to worry about a thing.
Perhaps you are tired of scrubbing grout lines that never seem to get truly clean. Getting rid of that outdated tub means fewer corners for dirt to hide, which gives you a sparkling clean space in half the time.
Another benefit of this project involves the sheer amount of floor space you reclaim. Without that massive basin taking up room, your bathroom will suddenly feel twice as big as it did before.
Think of it as a way to add a bit of luxury to your house without needing a full-scale renovation project. You deserve a spot that feels refreshing and helps you start your day with a clear head.
Furthermore, this change helps keep your property value up, which is a smart move if you ever decide to sell. Most buyers in our neck of the woods prefer an open layout over a cramped, old-fashioned bathroom setup.
When you opt for this type of renovation, you can add grab bars and non-slip surfaces that make your time in the water much safer. It provides a level of peace of mind that a slippery tub simply cannot match.
Often, we see folks who are worried about tripping, and this solution kills that risk entirely. You get a low threshold that is easy to step over, even if you are having a bad day with your knees.
Maybe you want to include a built-in seat so you can sit down while the water runs. This creates a spa-like feeling right in your own home where you can relax without any stress or worry.
Plus, you can choose custom tiles or stone finishes that match the exact look you want for your walls. This level of customization lets you express your personality while keeping the function top-notch.
Actually, the whole thing starts with a visit to your place to see what we are working with. We look at your current plumbing and wall structure to make sure everything stays secure and leak-free.
Since the median household income in this part of the state sits around 41,583 dollars, we know you want a job that is fair and honest. We do not believe in hiding costs or adding fees that do not make sense.
Instead, we provide you with a clear plan so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish. Once you approve the estimate, our team gets to work dismantling the old unit carefully.
After we remove the old tub, we prepare the floor and walls to make sure they are waterproof and ready for the new install. This step is super important to prevent any water damage from sneaking into your floors later.
Since you get to pick the doors and the fixtures, you can choose between glass panels or a simple curtain rod. Glass doors look fantastic and keep the water inside the unit, while curtains offer a softer touch.
Also, you can pick out the showerhead that gives you the best pressure for those long, tiring days. A nice rainfall head or a hand-held wand can really change how much you enjoy your time in the water.
Whatever you pick, we make sure it is installed perfectly so you never have to deal with annoying drips. This is your chance to turn a boring bathroom into a highlight of your home.
We take pride in our work because we live and work in the same neighborhoods you do. When you want a job done right the first time, you can count on our local touch.

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 McClure 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.
