Our Pleasant Hill crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Polk County within days.

Are you tired of climbing over that high wall just to get clean every single morning? You can actually transform your outdated bathroom setup into a sleek walk-in space by ditching that bulky basin for a modern, open design.
If you live in the quiet corners of Pleasant Hill, Texas, you know that making your home more functional is the best way to add real value. Transforming your bathroom floor plan lets you reclaim square footage while making your daily routine much safer and way more stylish.
Most folks in Polk County realize that they hardly ever use that deep soaking basin they installed years ago. Replacing it with a low-threshold entry zone means you never have to worry about tripping or losing your balance during a shower.
Because the median household income in these parts allows for smart upgrades, investing in your property makes total sense. Getting rid of the tub creates an airy, open feel that makes even the smallest bathroom seem like a massive spa getaway.
Getting a streamlined shower installation means you spend less time scrubbing grout lines around a deep basin. This change gives you back your weekend hours because cleaning a flat surface is infinitely faster than deep cleaning a giant, awkward tub.
Furthermore, these modern installations provide a high level of physical ease that you will appreciate for many years. Since you have a wide, open area to stand in, you enjoy more space to move around without feeling cramped or restricted.
Removing an old, heavy cast iron or acrylic unit is a dirty job that requires some serious muscle. Our crew pulls everything out carefully so we do not damage your tile or surrounding walls during the heavy lifting process.
Once the old unit is gone, we check the subfloor for any hidden moisture damage from past leaks. Fixing these little surprises now saves you from massive headaches later, ensuring your new setup stays solid and leak-free for a lifetime.
Choosing the right finish for your new shower walls is where the fun really begins. You might want smooth, easy-clean panels that mimic the look of natural stone without the heavy maintenance of real grout lines.
Whether you prefer modern glass enclosures or simple, sliding doors, we have options that fit every single budget. Picking the right color palette lets you match your current vanity and mirror setup, creating a cohesive design that looks professional.
| Feature | Direct Benefit |
| Low-threshold entry | Improved safety and easy access |
| Glass enclosures | Reflects light to brighten the room |
| Built-in niches | Organized storage for all your soaps |
| Non-slip flooring | Prevents accidents on wet surfaces |
Small bathrooms in Texas homes often feel tight, especially when a giant tub occupies half the room. Replacing that obstacle with a glass-walled enclosure pulls the eyes toward the back wall, making the whole room feel much larger.
You might think glass is hard to keep clean, but modern coatings actually repel water and soap scum. This means your shower stays looking fresh with minimal effort, giving you the kind of ease you truly deserve.
Thinking about your future needs is a smart move when you plan home renovations. Adding grab bars or a built-in seat inside your new shower area is a simple adjustment that adds a world of security.
These additions do not have to look clinical or boring in any way. We can source hardware that matches your faucet finishes, ensuring your new space maintains a high level of aesthetic harmony while keeping you safe.
Living in a small community like this means you want a contractor who respects your time and your property. We arrive when we say we will, and we work hard to finish the conversion quickly so you can get back to your life.
Since we handle all the plumbing adjustments required to move the drain or upgrade the valves, you do not have to worry about a thing. We keep the site tidy every single day, minimizing the dust and debris that usually comes with a big remodel.
Water is the enemy of every home structure, so we take waterproofing very seriously during every single installation. We use modern membranes and advanced sealants to ensure that every drop of water stays exactly where it belongs.
This attention to detail keeps your walls dry and prevents hidden mold from growing behind your fresh new finish. You get the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home is protected by professionals who actually care about quality.
Your shower experience depends heavily on the hardware you select for the space. Choosing a high-pressure head or a rainfall system can completely change how you feel when you step into the shower in the morning.
We help you pick out finishes that will not rust or tarnish, even with the minerals often found in local water. This level of quality ensures your new setup remains a point of pride in your home for a long, long time.
Getting a quote should never be a hassle, so we make the process as simple as possible for you. You can reach out to us to schedule a time when we can come by to look at your current bathroom setup.
During our visit, we listen to your goals and take all the necessary measurements to give you an accurate price. There is absolutely no pressure to commit, as we believe our work and our pricing speak for themselves.
When you consider the return on investment for bathroom upgrades, removing a tub is almost always a winning move. Buyers today usually prefer the openness and convenience of a walk-in shower over the dated look of a heavy tub.
Even if you are not planning to sell your home anytime soon, you benefit from the daily pleasure of a better room. It is a win-win scenario that improves your lifestyle and protects your property value at the same time.
You might wonder how long the water will be shut off while we swap your fixtures. We plan our work to minimize any downtime, often completing the functional side of the job in just a few days.
Another common concern involves the mess, but we use plastic sheeting and heavy-duty floor coverings to protect your home. We treat your property with the same care we would use if we were working in our own living spaces.
Taking the leap to change your home environment is an exciting step toward better living. You will wonder why you waited so long to ditch that old basin once you step into your beautiful new shower.
If you are ready to explore the possibilities for your home, reach out today to get your free estimate. Our team looks forward to helping you design a space that brings you joy and comfort 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 Pleasant Hill 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.
