Our Port Washington North crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Nassau County within days.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Are you tired of climbing over that giant porcelain wall every single morning just to get clean? Upgrading your daily routine starts with changing how you approach your morning soak, especially if you live in that charming pocket of Nassau County.
Getting rid of the old basin is the smartest move you can make for your house value and your knees. When you choose to transform your space, you open up the room and make it feel way bigger than it actually is.
Think about how often you actually sit in that deep basin versus how often you just stand there under the spray. Most folks around Port Washington North find that they never use the soaking area, so it just collects dust and grime.
Switching to a walk-in stall gives you so much more floor space to move around in while you scrub up. This change adds a sense of ease that makes your bathroom feel like a high-end getaway spot.
Beyond the visuals, think about the safety aspect for your future self. Stepping over a high wall is a recipe for a bad slip, especially as the years go by. A low-threshold entry means you can walk right in without any worries.
It is a simple fix that creates a massive amount of peace of mind for you and your family. Plus, these custom installations look sharp and clean, which helps when it is time to think about resale value down the road.
Now, you might be worried about the mess or the time it takes to rip out all that old plumbing and tile. Luckily, our local crew knows exactly how to handle these jobs without turning your house into a construction zone for months.
Since we work right here in the 11050 area, we know the local codes and the style of homes in this part of New York. We come in, take out the bulky hardware, and set up your new setup with precision.
This whole process is surprisingly quick because we have done it a thousand times before. You benefit from a beautiful, modern wet room that fits your specific measurements and style preferences perfectly.
Whether you want a glass enclosure that makes the room feel huge or a tiled wall that looks like a spa, we have you covered. Everything we install is meant to last a long time while keeping your maintenance low.
| Benefit | Feature |
| Higher safety | Low entry threshold |
| More space | Open floor plan |
| Easy cleaning | Non-porous materials |
| Better style | Modern fixtures |
Once you decide to move forward, the fun part begins with picking out the textures and colors. You can go with a sleek, minimalist vibe or something more traditional that matches the rest of your house.
Think about the materials that make your life easier rather than just looking pretty. We always suggest stuff that resists mold and soap scum so you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees.
On top of that, the hardware choices are endless, ranging from brushed nickel to matte black finishes. These small details really make the room pop and show off your personal taste without needing a massive budget.
Which brings us to the importance of lighting and storage inside the stall itself. Adding a built-in niche for your soaps and shampoos keeps everything organized and within reach while you are busy cleaning up.
Living in a town with a median household income of over one hundred thousand dollars means you value quality work. You do not want to hire someone who cuts corners or leaves you with a leaky drain after a few months.

Before we arrive, you do not need to do much besides clearing out your personal items from the vanity area. We take care of all the heavy lifting and the removal of the old fixtures that take up so much room.
However, it is always a good idea to think about where you want your new spray heads or bench seating. Do you want a rain-style head that feels like a waterfall, or something more basic for a quick rinse?
This is the perfect time to add those features that make you feel truly relaxed after a long day at the office. Even if your space is small, there are plenty of ways to make it functional and cozy.

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 Washington North 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.
