Our Sunset crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Colquitt County within days.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Maybe you feel tired of stepping over that high, slippery ledge every single morning just to wash off the sleep. This daily hurdle actually presents a real hazard for your family, especially if anyone struggles with balance or joint pain. Fortunately, we can swap out that bulky, outdated tub for a sleek and open washing space that fits your lifestyle much better.
This smart upgrade instantly makes your bathroom look twice as big as it really is. Because we remove the high barrier, your eyes travel across the room without stopping, which creates a wonderful sense of spaciousness. On top of that, you get to enjoy a fresh, modern setup that is incredibly easy to keep clean.
We believe in honest, hard work and helping our neighbors get the home improvements they deserve without any stressful guesswork. Since you live in a charming Colquitt County community with 747 residents, you know how important it is to trust the people who come into your home. That is why our local team gladly travels out to your property to take precise measurements and hand you a free estimate tailored to your exact budget.
When you think about it, traditional deep tubs take up an enormous amount of floor space while barely getting any actual use. Most busy adults simply do not have the time to sit and soak for an hour anymore. By replacing that unused basin with a spacious walk-in stall, you reclaim valuable square footage that you can actually enjoy every single day.
This home improvement project also drastically reduces the time you spend scrubbing on your hands and knees. Older tubs tend to collect nasty soap scum and mildew in hard-to-reach corners and along dusty caulking lines. Our new non-porous wall surrounds and modern bases resist grime, which means you spend less time cleaning and more time relaxing.
| Feature | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Low-profile threshold | Easy entry that prevents trips and nasty falls. |
| Non-porous acrylic walls | Gives you effortless cleaning without harsh chemicals. |
| Built-in seating options | Provides a safe, restful spot to wash up comfortably. |
Safety remains the biggest reason why homeowners choose to make this transition. Slipping on wet porcelain accounts for thousands of home injuries every year, which is a scary thought for aging relatives. Installing a flat, textured floor base gives your feet a solid grip and provides immense peace of mind for the whole family.
You do not have to settle for a boring, plain white box when designing your new wash space. We offer a wide variety of gorgeous wall patterns that look exactly like expensive stone, marble, or classic subway tile. This lets you achieve a luxurious look without the heavy price tag or the nightmare of scrubbing dirty grout lines.
Choosing the right hardware also lets you customize how you experience your daily rinse. You can opt for a high-end rain head that mimics a gentle downpour, or a handy detachable wand that makes washing pets and cleaning the walls a breeze. These little touches turn a simple daily routine into a truly peaceful escape.
Adding grab bars does not mean your bathroom has to look like a cold, sterile hospital room. Modern safety bars come in beautiful finishes like brushed nickel, matte black, and oil-rubbed bronze to match your faucets perfectly. This ensures your space looks cohesive and stylish while still offering maximum physical support.
We can also install handy corner caddies and built-in shelving to keep your shampoo bottles off the floor. Having everything at arm's reach prevents you from bending down and losing your balance while soaping up. These smart storage solutions keep your new space looking tidy and organized all week long.
Our process begins with a friendly visit to your home to look at your current plumbing setup and discuss your vision. We take the time to listen to what you want, answer your questions, and provide a clear, no-obligation quote. You will never have to deal with pushy sales tactics or hidden fees when working with us.
Once we finalize the design, our skilled crew prepares the workspace to protect your floors and carpets from dust and debris. We carefully demo the old heavy cast iron or steel tub, taking great care not to damage the surrounding drywall. This clean demolition phase sets the stage for a flawless installation.
Next, we inspect the underlying wood subfloor and plumbing pipes to make sure there are no hidden leaks or wood rot. Fixing these issues early prevents expensive structural problems down the road. After we verify everything is solid, we install the new drain plumbing, secure the sturdy slip-resistant base, and seal the beautiful new wall panels in place.
Upgrading your home is always a big decision, especially when you are watching your budget carefully. In this quiet corner of the Peach State, where the median household income sits around $36,176, we know that every hard-earned dollar needs to stretch far. Making this swap is a highly cost-effective way to boost your overall property value without committing to a full, expensive remodel.
Most home buyers today actively search for properties that feature updated, accessible bathrooms. If you ever decide to sell your home in the future, having a beautiful walk-in wash space makes your listing stand out from the competition. It is a highly desirable feature that appeals to young professionals and retirees alike.
Even if you plan to stay in your home forever, this modification allows you to age in place gracefully. You will not have to worry about moving into an assisted living facility just because your bathroom became too difficult to use. Investing in your safety today saves you from massive medical bills or expensive emergency renovations later on.
Taking the first step toward a safer and more beautiful home is much easier than you might think. Our friendly local team is ready to guide you through the entire selection process from start to finish. We bring samples directly to your door so you can see and feel the materials in your own lighting.
Whether you live near the heart of town or in the surrounding rural areas of Sunset, Georgia, we are proud to serve our local community. We know the local building codes inside and out, which guarantees a safe, legal, and worry-free installation. You can rest easy knowing that we treat your home with the exact same respect we show our own.

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 Sunset 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.
