Our Riverton crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Burlington County within days.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
You probably stare at that clunky, high-walled basin every single morning and wish for something better. This simple switch changes your daily routine and makes your home feel much more upscale.
You might think that removing that giant porcelain box is just about looks, but it really boils down to how you move. Those old tubs are a pain to step over, and nobody enjoys trying to balance on one foot while hoping not to slip. By getting rid of the barrier, you gain a massive amount of floor space which makes your tiny room feel like a ballroom.
Moreover, you eliminate the constant scrubbing of those impossible corners that hold onto grime like a magnet. When you choose to install a sleek, walk-in system, you are actually investing in your own future mobility. Think about how much easier it is to just stroll into your morning wash without worrying about tripping over a heavy wall.
Riverton is a neat spot within Burlington County where folks really value their property and keeping things nice. With a median household income of $97,112, you likely want to make sure every dollar you spend adds value to your house. Whether you live near the 08076 or 08077 zip code areas, you know that keeping your home updated is smart.
Since our local population is roughly 2,704 people, you probably prefer working with someone who treats you like a neighbor rather than just another number on a spreadsheet. We understand that your home is your castle and we want to help you make it as functional as possible. When you decide to ditch the tub, you are choosing a style that stays relevant for a long time.
First, you tell us what you dream of seeing when you walk into your bathroom. We arrive at your house to take measurements and ensure that the plumbing is up to par for the big change. This saves you from hidden surprises that could pop up once the old basin is gone for good.
Then, we carefully remove the outdated structure while protecting your tile and surrounding walls from unnecessary damage. Because we take our time with this step, you do not have to stress about a messy home after we leave. Once the space is clear, we install the new base, the wall panels, and the fixtures that you picked out.
| Feature | Your Personal Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Low Entry Barrier | You get safe access without high stepping | |
| Non-slip Surfaces | You keep your balance steady during use | |
| Custom Glass Doors | You enjoy a sense of openness and light | |
| Modern Shower Heads | You feel like you are at a spa |
You deserve a space that offers total ease of use every time you step in. When you remove that big tub, you gain back so much room that it feels like you added an entire new section to your house. Furthermore, you reduce the time spent cleaning because smooth surfaces are just easier to wipe down.
Also, consider the visual appeal of a clean, minimalist design that makes your bathroom look bigger and brighter. If you prefer a modern look, our custom options give you that posh feeling without needing a huge renovation budget. You can choose from many textures and colors that match the rest of your home perfectly.
Sometimes people worry that their pipes will not handle the new setup, but that is rarely the case. We inspect your existing drain lines to make sure the water flows away quickly so you never deal with standing puddles. This keeps your floor dry and prevents those annoying water spots from ruining your floors over time.
Additionally, we can update your valves so you get the perfect temperature every single time you turn the handle. You will love having a steady stream of warm water that feels steady and reliable. This small upgrade makes a world of difference when you are rushing to get ready for work or school.
You might be thinking about selling your house down the road, and buyers love a fresh bathroom. Most people today prefer a quick, efficient wash over a long soak, so this upgrade makes your house more appealing to them. It shows that you care about maintenance and keeping things updated to current standards.
Plus, you get to enjoy these benefits right now instead of waiting for a future owner to appreciate them. It is a win-win situation because you improve your quality of life while protecting your investment at the same time. You will wonder why you waited so long to make the switch once you see the result.
You should pick materials that resist mold and mildew so you spend less time scrubbing and more time relaxing. We use high-quality acrylic and stone-look panels that look amazing and last for many years without cracking. Because these materials are non-porous, they do not hold onto bacteria like old grout lines often do.
Think about the longevity of your investment when you are selecting your new shower setup. We can help you pick the right colors that fit the rest of your decor so the whole room looks pulled together. This adds a sense of refinement that makes you proud of your home whenever guests visit.

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 Riverton 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.
