Maybe you are tired of climbing over that high porcelain wall every single morning just to get washed. Honestly, it feels like a mini hurdle course just to get clean before your first cup of coffee. By swapping that old deep basin for a sleek and easily accessible walk-in stall, you instantly make your daily routine safer and much faster.
Suddenly, your bathroom feels twice as big because you removed that bulky barrier. This smart change gives you back your floor space and peace of mind. Our local team comes right to your home to look at your setup and give you a free written estimate.
Which means you can finally plan the layout without guessing the cost. Let us help you figure out the best design for your daily routine. We want to make your home easier to live in.
| Current Bath Feature | New Upgrade Benefit | Daily Impact |
|---|---|---|
| High tub wall | Low-profile shower pan | No tripping hazards |
| Hard-to-clean corners | Modern acrylic wall panels | Less scrubbing time |
| Wasted basin space | Spacious standing area | Room to move freely |
Actually, many people in our historic region realize they do not even use their deep tubs anymore. If you only use the basin to collect dust or wash the dog, it is time for an upgrade. Upgrading to a spacious standing stall increases the long-term value of your property while matching how you actually live today.
On top of that, stepping onto a flat, slip-resistant surface is way better than balancing on slippery curved porcelain. You get a sleek look that matches any style you want. We focus on durable materials that withstand daily wear and tear without losing their luster.
This lets you enjoy a clean, modern look without spending hours scrubbing grout lines. Our crew handles the heavy lifting, from tear-out to the final seal. You just sit back and watch your space transform.
Think about how nice it will be to have built-in seating and sturdy grab bars that actually look good. These features prevent slips and falls, which is especially important if you plan to stay in your home for years. You do not have to sacrifice style to get a safe, accessible bathing area.
Because we customize every single installation, you get to choose exactly where the fixtures go. We install handheld showerheads, storage niches, and footrests right where you need them. Your daily wash becomes a relaxing ritual rather than a chore.
Buyers today actively look for large, luxurious walk-in stalls instead of outdated master tubs. If your home has at least one other full bathroom with a tub, this swap is a no-brainer for resale value. You make your home stand out in the local market by modernizing the most important room in the house.
Plus, we finish most of these projects much faster than a full, traditional remodel. We know you do not want workers in your house for weeks on end. That is why we work efficiently to get your water turned back on quickly.
Now, you might wonder how we actually get that giant old cast iron or fiberglass piece out of your home. First, our team protects your floors and walls before we even touch a tool. Then, we carefully break down the old unit and haul it away so you do not have to worry about clean-up.
Following that step, we inspect the underlying wood and plumbing for any hidden rot or leaks. This is crucial because Mississippi humidity can sometimes trap moisture behind old walls. We fix those issues first so your new installation sits on a rock-solid foundation.
Which means your new system will last for decades without shifting or leaking. We use high-grade sealants and waterproofing membranes behind the scenes. This careful preparation prevents mold and mildew from ever starting.
Our local team lives and works near the beautiful Mississippi River, serving Claiborne County with pride. With a local population of around 1,699 neighbors, we treat everyone like family. We know the median household income here is about $24,904, so we always offer fair, honest pricing that fits your budget. Whether you live in ZIP code 39150 or the surrounding countryside, we come directly to your doorstep.
Indeed, you have a lot of great options when it comes to the finished look of your wet area. Acrylic surrounds are incredibly popular because they do not have grout lines to scrub. However, if you prefer a classic look, high-end solid surfaces can mimic the appearance of natural stone beautifully.
This allows you to customize the color, texture, and pattern to match your vanity and flooring. You get the look of luxury without the high maintenance. We help you choose materials that resist scratches and staining over time.
Each choice we offer has been tested to withstand hard water and daily use. We want you to love your bathroom every single time you walk through the door. Let us show you samples during our free consultation.
Sometimes, older homes have smaller drain pipes that struggle to clear water quickly. During the swap, we often upgrade your drain to a larger size to ensure fast water flow. This simple upgrade prevents soapy water from pooling around your ankles while you wash.
On top of that, we can reposition your mixing valves to a more convenient height. You can turn the water on to warm up without getting your arm wet. Small details like this make a massive difference in how much you enjoy your new space.
Why wait any longer to start enjoying a safer and more beautiful bathroom? Our friendly team is ready to visit your home, measure your space, and give you a detailed breakdown of the costs. We believe in transparent pricing with absolutely no hidden fees or high-pressure sales tactics.
This lets you make an informed decision on your own time. We answer all your questions about plumbing, materials, and project timelines. Our goal is to make the entire process stress-free from start to finish.
So, take the first step toward a better home today. Reach out to us to schedule your free on-site consultation. We look forward to helping you build the bathroom of your dreams...
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 Port Gibson 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.
