If you want to swap your bulky old tub for a sleek walk-in stall, you can get a free quote right now. Transforming this space makes your daily routine faster and much safer.
Maybe you are tired of stepping over a high ledge every single morning. This simple change eliminates that daily obstacle course. On top of that, it opens up your entire room so it feels twice as big.
Actually, many homeowners in our beautiful mountain community are making this exact switch lately. They want a modern setup that fits their busy lifestyles. Our team helps you achieve this without the stress of a massive remodel.
Think about how often you actually take a bath these days. Most of us just want a quick, hot spray to wake up or wind down. Replacing that unused basin gives you back precious floor space.
Consequently, you get a much safer environment for everyone in the household. Slipping on wet porcelain is a real danger. A low-profile threshold reduces this risk dramatically.
Naturally, cleaning becomes a absolute breeze compared to scrubbing those old, deep corners. You will spend less time on your knees with bleach. Which means more time enjoying your weekends in Kittitas County.
Perhaps you plan to stay in your home for many years to come. Installing a barrier-free entryway is a smart way to prepare for the future. It keeps you independent and safe.
In addition, we can install sturdy grab bars that actually look stylish. These are not your grandparent's clinical metal pipes. They blend right into the modern design.
To be honest, outdated bathrooms really hurt the resale appeal of your property. Buyers today actively look for large, open stalls with beautiful tile or stone patterns. They do not want a dusty peach basin from decades ago.
Therefore, this upgrade acts as a major selling point. You get to enjoy the luxury now while building equity. It is a win-win situation for your wallet and your peace of mind.
First, we come out to measure your existing footprint and discuss your vision. This initial visit is completely free of charge. We look at your plumbing to make sure everything aligns perfectly.
Next, we carefully remove the old cast iron or acrylic beast. This is often the heaviest part of the job. Luckily, our crew handles all the heavy lifting and disposal for you.
After that, we prepare the subfloor and update the drain location. This step is critical to prevent future leaks. We do not cut corners because we know how water behaves.
| Project Phase | What We Do | Your Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Demolition | Remove the old basin safely | No heavy lifting for you |
| Plumbing Update | Relocate and clear the drain | Prevents clogs and water damage |
| Surround Install | Place waterproof wall panels | Easy cleaning and no mold |
Now, you have some fun decisions to make regarding the style. You can choose from high-end acrylic surrounds or custom ceramic tiling. Each option has its own unique benefits.
For instance, acrylic is incredibly low maintenance and resists mildew. Tile, on the other hand, offers unmatched customization and a high-end feel. We help you weigh the pros and cons based on your budget.
Do not let online videos fool you into thinking this is a simple weekend DIY project. Water damage can ruin your floor joists silently over time. We apply multi-layered sealant systems to guarantee a dry home.
Furthermore, our team tests the slope of the new pan thoroughly before finishing. Water must flow directly to the drain, not pool in the corners. This attention to detail saves you from costly repairs down the road.

Many cabins and chalets around here have compact bathrooms where every inch counts. Removing a bulky tub instantly frees up visual and physical space. This makes the entire room feel much brighter.
As a result, you can add extra storage or a larger vanity. We can design built-in niches for your shampoos and soaps. This keeps your new sanctuary organized and clutter-free.
To help the environment, our new setups feature modern low-flow heads. You still get amazing water pressure but use far less water overall. This keeps your utility bills lower throughout the year.
Which means you save money while helping conserve our beautiful local resources. It is a small change that makes a big difference. Your pocketbook will definitely thank you.
When you contact us, we schedule a convenient time to visit your home. We do not use pushy sales tactics or rush your decision. We are here to listen to your ideas and answer questions.

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 Snoqualmie Pass 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.
