Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Do you ever stare at your bulky, giant porcelain tub and wish it would just disappear? You might find that reclaiming your bathroom floor space is the best way to make your morning routine feel like a total breeze.
Replacing that massive, unused basin with a sleek, walk-in washing station is a game changer for your daily life. This change gives you way more room to move around without bumping your elbows on cold tiles. It makes your home much more functional and easier to clean.
You deserve a space that fits your needs perfectly rather than dealing with a tub that just collects dust. Getting rid of that high-walled monstrosity allows you to step into a refreshing stream of water with zero effort. This upgrade brings a sense of ease to your life that you will notice every single day.
Living in a town like Pillsbury, North Dakota, means you appreciate the peace and quiet of a smaller community. Even with a population of only 14 people in this Barnes County gem, the quality of your home matters just as much as it does in a big city. You deserve a living space that feels modern and updated, even if you are far from the busy urban centers.
With a median household income around $45,625, you probably want to spend your money on projects that actually offer real value. Changing your bathing setup is one of the smartest ways to boost the appeal of your property for the future. It turns a dated bathroom into a highlight of your house that feels fresh and inviting.
| Feature of the Upgrade | Benefit for You | |
|---|---|---|
| Low entry threshold | Safer access every morning | |
| Glass enclosure panels | Open and airy feeling | |
| Modern tile finishes | Easy to maintain and scrub | |
| Non-slip flooring | Better balance while washing |
Starting this project involves removing that heavy, old unit that has likely been there for years. Our team comes out to your location to handle the messy work so you do not have to lift a finger. We carefully demo the area, checking for any hidden water damage or rot that might have been lurking behind those walls for decades.
Next, we prepare the plumbing lines to ensure your new spray fixtures function perfectly every time you turn the handle. We focus on getting the drainage pitch exactly right so the water flows away quickly. This keeps your floor dry and prevents any puddling that could lead to mold growth.
Finally, we install the new wall surrounds and the hardware that makes your new station look incredible. You get to choose the colors and the textures that match the vibe of your home. This level of customization ensures that the final result is exactly what you envisioned for your personal oasis.
High walls on a standard tub are a massive pain when you just want to step in and wash up. You might feel a bit nervous about tripping over that high edge after a long day or when the floor is wet. A low-profile transition gives you a smooth path that reduces the risk of slips or falls dramatically.
This is a huge relief for anyone who wants to stay independent in their own house for as long as possible. You stop worrying about your footing and start focusing on how good that hot water feels. It creates a sense of serenity that makes your bathroom feel like a high-end spa getaway.
Furthermore, the lack of a deep basin makes the whole room feel much bigger. You gain back those precious inches of floor space that were previously blocked by the tub structure. This gives you room to add a small cabinet or just enjoy the wide-open feeling of your new, sleek walk-in design.
Doing this kind of work yourself might seem like a way to save a few bucks at first glance. However, plumbing and tiling require a special touch to prevent leaks that can ruin your subfloor later on. When you let a pro handle it, you get peace of mind knowing that everything is sealed tight.
We use high-quality materials that are built to last through years of daily use. You won't have to worry about peeling caulk or grout lines that start to crumble after a few months. We guarantee our work because we take pride in helping our neighbors in the 58065 area improve their homes.
On top of that, we clean up after ourselves so you aren't left with a house full of construction dust. You get to walk into your brand-new room and enjoy it immediately without spending your weekend scrubbing floors. It is a seamless experience that puts your needs at the center of the project.
You might be wondering if your specific bathroom layout can handle such a big change. Most of the time, the answer is a resounding yes, because we are experts at making things fit into tight spots. Whether you have a standard rectangular space or something a bit more awkward, we find a way to make it work.
We prioritize your vision by discussing your preferences for fixtures and storage before we start any work. You can go for a minimalist look with a rainfall head or something more traditional with simple controls. The choice is always yours because you are the one who has to live with the result.
This project is a great investment in the longevity and usability of your home. If you ever decide to sell, potential buyers will notice the modern touch immediately. It makes your house stand out in a market where people are looking for move-in-ready properties that don't need work.

After the work is finished, you will immediately notice how much brighter the room feels. The removal of the tub allows for better light flow and makes the entire space feel fresh. You will love how much faster your morning cleanup goes when you have a direct path to the water.
You will also find that cleaning becomes a much less daunting task. Without a deep, awkward basin, there are fewer corners and crevices for soap scum to hide in. A simple wipe-down with a cloth keeps your new surfaces looking sparkling and new for years to come.

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 Pillsbury 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.
