Are you tired of tripping over that giant porcelain basin every single morning just to wash up? Well, replacing your bulky bathing fixture with a sleek walk-in shower lets you reclaim precious floor space. This major upgrade gives your room a modern vibe while making daily routines much safer.
Transitioning from an old tub to a modern open stall keeps you from struggling with high steps. Consequently, your bathroom becomes a much more welcoming area that fits your lifestyle. Grab your free estimate today by reaching out to our local team.
High ledges often cause nasty slips when your feet are wet and soapy. Thankfully, a barrier-free shower base lets you walk right in without lifting your legs high. This smart design keeps you safe from nasty falls while you enjoy your routine.
Maybe you worry about older family members trying to navigate tricky ledges. Fortunately, getting rid of that giant barrier saves you from endless worry about household injuries. Better yet, we bring all the necessary tools right to your property for quick installation.
Traditional tubs take up a huge chunk of valuable square footage in smaller rooms. By swapping that monster out, you suddenly gain enough room to move around freely. This smart layout change lets you breathe easy inside your own home.
Perhaps your bathroom feels cramped every time you step inside to brush your teeth. Happily, a glass-enclosed stall opens up the sightlines and floods the area with natural light. Such a rewarding transformation makes your morning routine feel like a spa getaway.
Living out here in the Lone Star State means we appreciate practical upgrades that make sense. Motley County holds a unique place on the map with zero residents recorded in recent official counts. Even so, local properties still need modern care to stay functional and fresh.
Property owners throughout the area spanning ZIP codes like 79226 often look for solid home improvements. While median household income figures stay unique to individual properties here, investing in quality upgrades always pays off. Meanwhile, our local crew understands the distinct challenges of rural Texas housing stock.
First off, we carefully tear out that heavy iron or fiberglass tub without damaging your walls. This messy part requires real patience so your subfloor stays completely intact and dry. Afterward, we haul away all the heavy debris so you never lift a finger.
Sometimes hidden water damage hides underneath old basins waiting to cause bigger structural headaches. Luckily, our experienced crew checks all the underlying wood before building anything new. This thorough approach protects your investment for many years down the road.
Next up, we frame out the new waterproof pan and install reliable backing boards. This crucial phase ensures your shower walls will never leak into your home structure. You get peace of mind knowing the job meets the highest building standards.
Finally, we mount gorgeous tile work and crystal-clear glass doors to finish the stunning look. This incredible transformation gives you a gorgeous spot to wash away the day's stress. Plus, our craftsmanship means zero headaches for you during the entire project.
| Feature | Old Bathtub | New Walk-In Shower |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | High step-over wall | Zero-threshold entry |
| Cleaning Time | Scrubbing deep corners | Wiping smooth glass |
| Room Feel | Cramped and dark | Open and bright |
Looking at this breakdown helps you see why so many folks make the switch. Traditional tubs trap dirt in tight crevices while open stalls wipe clean in seconds. Therefore, you spend less time scrubbing and more time relaxing.
On top of that, your water usage might even drop when you take quick standing rinses. This eco-friendly perk saves you money on utility bills month after month. Who would not want a cleaner bathroom that actually lowers monthly expenses?
Most standard conversions wrap up in just a few days from start to finish. Our efficient crew works hard so you can get back to your normal routine fast. Naturally, custom tile work might add a tiny bit of time to the schedule.
Instead of living in a construction zone for weeks, you enjoy quick turnaround times. We respect your schedule and show up on time every single day. That kind of reliability makes home improvement feel like a breeze.

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.
