Across Scott County, bathtubs that retired years ago give way to showers built in their own footprint.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Are you tired of staring at that giant, clunky basin taking up all your floor space? Replacing that old clunky tub with a sleek walk-in unit creates an open oasis that makes your daily routine feel like a breeze.
Because your bathroom is a sanctuary, you deserve a layout that matches your active life and personal taste. Making this change adds massive value to your home while giving you more room to breathe.
Located right in the heart of Scott County, Mississippi, our local homes often feature classic designs that served us well for decades. However, many folks find that their old, deep soaking basins are just collecting dust instead of being useful.
Getting rid of that bulky porcelain beast gives you a much bigger footprint in a room that is usually the smallest in the house. You gain square footage that lets you move around without bumping your elbows on the wall.
Also, think about how much easier it is to step into a low-threshold base compared to lifting your legs over a high, slippery wall. This upgrade brings a sense of ease that makes your mornings much safer and quicker.
When you decide to pull the trigger on this project, you need a clear plan that keeps your stress levels low. First, we remove the existing fixtures and check the plumbing to make sure everything is sturdy and leak-free behind the walls.
Then, we prepare the area by installing moisture-resistant backing so your new walls stay dry for years to come. This keeps your home safe from rot or mold, which is a massive headache you definitely want to avoid.
Finally, we install your choice of stylish tiles, sturdy glass doors, or even a low-maintenance acrylic surround that looks sharp. You get a space that offers total relaxation and a high level of visual delight without the high-maintenance upkeep of old tubs.
| Feature of your upgrade | Benefit for your daily life | |
|---|---|---|
| Low-threshold entry | Prevents tripping and makes access simple | |
| Glass enclosure | Makes your small bathroom look huge | |
| Modern fixtures | Saves water and controls temperature better | |
| Custom shelving | Keeps your soap and shampoo organized |
Most homeowners in this part of the state want to know if their investment will actually pay off later. While local data shows a mix of incomes throughout the area, property value remains a top priority for everyone living here.
Changing your bathroom from a dated tub setup to a modern walk-in model is one of the smartest ways to boost your resale appeal. Prospective buyers love seeing an updated, clean space that they can use the moment they move in.
Beyond the resale value, you save money on water bills since showers typically use much less water than filling a deep basin. This lets you keep more cash in your wallet every single month while doing a small favor for the planet.
Selecting the right surface for your new walls and floor is the most exciting part of the journey. You have options ranging from natural stone that provides a sense of luxury to durable synthetic materials that resist grime.
If you hate scrubbing grout lines every weekend, you should consider large-format panels that have almost no seams. This choice gives you a clean look and saves you hours of cleaning time every single month.
Whatever you pick, ensure it matches your current decor so the whole house feels tied together properly. A well-designed room creates a mood of total serenity that helps you start your day on the right foot.
Since you live in a place with unique soil conditions and older building codes, the internal pipes need a professional eye. Sometimes, the drain location needs a slight adjustment to make sure water flows away properly.
We handle all the technical math and pipe routing so you never have to touch a wrench yourself. This means you get a solid, functioning system that performs perfectly from the very first day.
On top of that, we make sure the seal around your new unit is absolutely perfect to prevent any water damage to your floorboards. That peace of mind is worth every penny when you are making such a big change to your property.

Most conversions take just a few days of active work once the materials are ready to go. You will be surprised at how fast we can turn an old, clunky eyesore into a brand new, beautiful space.
What if my bathroom is tiny and does not have much room for fancy extras? We specialize in maximizing tight spaces by using clever storage solutions and bright, reflective finishes.
Every inch counts in a bathroom, so we focus on vertical space for your storage needs. Installing recessed niches inside the wall gives you plenty of room for bottles without taking up any floor area.
Lighting also plays a massive role in making your space feel larger and more inviting to use. We can add recessed lights or bright vanity mirrors that make the whole room sparkle and shine.
You deserve a house that works for you, not against you, every single day. Making these small changes adds up to a big improvement in your daily quality of life and your mood.
If you keep living with a bathroom that you dislike, you are basically ignoring a chance to make your home better. Every day you spend climbing over that high tub wall is a day of minor frustration.

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 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.
