Across Sullivan 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.
If you feel like your old basin is just taking up too much room, you should consider a total change. Swapping that heavy tub for a sleek walk-in glass unit changes everything about your morning routine in Sullivan County.
Because this corner of Missouri is known for its wide open spaces and quiet living, your home deserves a bathroom that feels just as open. You might live in a spot where the population is sparse, but that does not mean you have to settle for outdated fixtures.
Modernizing your washroom helps you gain more floor space without moving a single wall. Removing those high side walls makes stepping inside a breeze, which keeps you safe from slipping during your morning rinse.
Moreover, this shift adds a touch of pure luxury to your daily life by giving you more room to move around. You will find that cleaning becomes way faster when you do not have to scrub those awkward corners found in deep porcelain basins.
Beyond the looks, this specific trade work ensures your home stays relevant for years. Most folks around these parts realize that a flat surface area provides much better ease than a tub that you barely ever use.
When you decide to pull out that clunky old item, you create a seamless transition from your tile floor to the bathing area. This visual flow makes your room feel massive, even if the actual square footage stays the exact same.
| Feature | Concrete Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Low profile entry | Prevents tripping hazards | |
| Glass enclosure | Creates a sense of openness | |
| Modern fixtures | Improves water flow efficiency | |
| Slip resistant tile | Increases overall household safety |
First, we arrive at your door to look at the layout and measure everything twice. This initial look allows us to spot any weird plumbing issues that might be hiding under your floorboards.
Then, we carefully remove the heavy basin without damaging the rest of your walls or vanity cabinets. We take pride in leaving your place cleaner than we found it while we work on your remodel.
Next, we prepare the subfloor to ensure your new base sits perfectly level. A level base means water drains away quickly, which stops those annoying puddles from forming near your bathroom door.
After the base is set, we install the wall panels that match your personal style perfectly. You can choose from stone looks or simple clean tile patterns that bring a sense of tranquility to your house.
Maybe you worry about losing a place to wash the dog or soak your sore muscles. Truth be told, many walk-in units now include high-end shower heads that provide a soothing massage after a long day of work.
Should you worry about water splashing everywhere in the room? Our high-quality glass doors seal tight, keeping every single drop exactly where it needs to be during your rinse.
Since this area is quite unique, keeping your property updated helps a ton if you ever decide to sell. Buyers absolutely love seeing a clean, modern bathroom that looks like it belongs in a fancy magazine.
Plus, you get to enjoy that extra space today, which is honestly the most important part of the whole deal. Upgrading your fixtures is a smart way to invest in your house while making your life much better.
You might want a rainfall head that makes you feel like you are standing in a summer storm. Alternatively, you could prefer a handheld sprayer that helps you reach every spot with total repose during your cleaning ritual.
Whatever you pick, we make sure it installs tight so you never have to deal with leaky pipes later. Quality installation means you do not have to think about maintenance for a long, long time.
We suggest using durable materials that stand up to the humidity of a bathroom environment. Even if you live in a ZIP code where hardware stores are far away, we bring everything you need directly to you.
Choosing the right color palette lets you turn a small, cramped room into a bright and airy retreat. This is your chance to make the space feel like a haven where you can finally relax.

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.
