If you want to swap your clunky old tub for a sleek walk-in stall, our local team is ready to help you make that change.
Getting rid of that high basin wall means you can finally step into your daily wash without tripping.
This smart modification saves you a ton of space while making your daily routine much safer.
For starters, many older homes in our beautiful mountain state feature outdated layouts that do not fit how we actually live today.
Think about how often you actually take a full soak versus a quick rinse.
Most of us just want to get clean quickly without clambering over a tall porcelain barrier every single morning.
By removing that bulky basin, you open up a world of physical freedom.
This change makes your bathing area feel twice as large as it did before.
Our skilled crew specializes in tearing out those old cast iron or acrylic monsters to build something much more functional in their place.
On top of that, we focus on custom bases that fit your exact layout perfectly.
You get to choose the drain placement, wall colors, and even built-in seating if you want extra stability.
This means your new space looks exactly how you pictured it in your dreams.
Stepping over a high ledger on a slippery wet surface is a recipe for a nasty fall.
Our low-barrier designs reduce that stepping height to just a couple of inches.
This simple change protects your joints and keeps you independent in your own home for years to come.
Additionally, we can install heavy-duty grab bars that match your hardware beautifully.
These sturdy handles give you something reliable to hold onto when soap gets in your eyes.
We always make sure these safety features look like natural design choices rather than cold hospital fixtures.
Grout lines on old tile surrounds are famous for harboring nasty mold and stubborn mildew.
We offer non-porous acrylic wall panels that resist grime and wipe clean with a simple squeegee.
This means you spend your weekends relaxing instead of scrubbing dirty corners on your knees.
Furthermore, our seamless installation techniques prevent water from leaking behind your walls.
Water damage can ruin your subfloors and cost thousands of dollars to repair if left unchecked.
Our watertight barriers keep every single drop of water going directly down the drain where it belongs.
Naturally, you might worry about how long your home will be a construction zone during this transition.
We work incredibly fast because we plan every single step before we even swing a hammer.
Our team respects your living space and keeps the dust contained to the work area.
Here is a quick breakdown of how we take your space from outdated to outstanding:
| Project Phase | What We Do | Your Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Demolition | Carefully remove the old basin and wall materials | Clean slate with zero hidden water damage left behind |
| Plumbing Prep | Reroute pipes and install new valves | Modern water pressure and reliable temperature control |
| Base Installation | Set the new low-profile pan securely in place | A solid, leak-free foundation that will never flex |
| Wall Surround | Mount waterproof panels or custom tile work | Beautiful, easy-to-clean walls that protect your home |
Once we finish the main structure, we add the finishing touches like premium showerheads and glass doors.
You will be amazed at how quickly we can transform a cramped corner into a spa-like oasis.
We even haul away all the old heavy debris so you do not have to worry about trash day.
Every household has different needs when it comes to daily hygiene.
Some families need extra storage shelves for shampoo bottles, while others require a folding bench for mobility support.
We listen to your specific routines to build a layout that works perfectly for your unique situation.
Because we use high-quality materials, your new setup will resist scratching and fading over time.
This ensures your investment looks brand new even after years of daily hot steam.
We refuse to cut corners because we want you to love your home for the long haul.
Which means you get a gorgeous, functional space without any of the typical remodeling headaches.
Our local craftsmen take pride in their work and treat your home like their own.
We always sweep up and leave your bathroom spotless before we head out the door.
Sliding glass bypass doors are fantastic for smaller bathrooms where space is at a premium.
They glide smoothly on track rollers without swinging out into your walking path.
This keeps your floor plan open and prevents water from dripping onto your bath mat.
Alternatively, a frameless pivot door offers a stunning modern look that showcases your new wall panels.
These thick glass panels feel incredibly sturdy and elevate the entire room.
We help you choose the right glass thickness and hardware finish to match your style.
Nobody likes tripping over soap bars and bottles cluttering up the floor of their bathing area.
We can build recessed niches directly into your walls to hold all your toiletries neatly.
These shelves blend in seamlessly while keeping your essentials within arm's reach.
To add even more utility, we can install corner caddies that maximize every inch of available space.

You will finally have a designated spot for everything instead of balancing bottles on narrow ledges.

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 Seven Hills 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.
