Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Do you ever stare at that bulky, outdated tub and wonder why it is taking up so much precious room? Switching to a sleek walk-in basin area could be the smartest move for your home in this quiet corner of Washington County.
Getting rid of that high-walled basin creates an incredible amount of space that feels open and airy. This change allows you to move freely without bumping your elbows on cold, hard porcelain edges. You deserve a bathroom that feels like a haven of total relaxation.
Most folks living in Timber, OR, find that their tiny washrooms feel cramped because of old-fashioned designs. By removing the tub, you reclaim floor space that was previously just dead weight. This lets you install a glass-enclosed space that looks much bigger than the old tub ever did.
Every homeowner wants a place that feels easy to use and looks sharp. When you ditch the tub, you are essentially trading a giant white elephant for a modern piece of functional design. This update adds significant value to your property while making your daily routine a whole lot smoother.
Consider how often you actually take a bath versus how often you just hop in for a quick rinse. If you are like most busy people, that tub is just a shelf for shampoo bottles. Replacing it with a custom-built waterfall enclosure gives you a more efficient way to start your morning.
Since the population here is small, around 131 people, you know that keeping your home updated is a great way to stay ahead of the curve. With the median household income steady, investing in a high-quality remodel makes perfect sense for your long-term plans. You get a space that fits your lifestyle perfectly.
When you opt for this upgrade, you get to choose exactly how the water flows and where it drains. Installing a curb-less entry means you never have to step over a tall wall again, which is fantastic for your safety. This design choice prevents slips and trips that often happen in traditional tubs.
Thinking about the plumbing side of things, our team ensures the pipes are rerouted to handle the improved flow of a new setup. You do not have to worry about leaks or pressure drops because we check every single joint before closing up the walls. This creates a durable result that lasts for many years.
Beyond the plumbing, the materials we select are built to withstand constant moisture without peeling or cracking. You save money on future repairs because we use high-grade sealants and water-resistant backers. This means your new showering zone remains in pristine condition with very little effort from you.
Choosing the right tiles and fixtures is the most exciting part of this whole journey. You can go for a minimalist look with large, polished stones or choose colorful ceramics that pop. This gives your bathroom a unique aesthetic appeal that reflects your personality perfectly.
Usually, people worry about the mess that comes with tearing out an old tub, but we handle the protection of your floors. We keep the dust contained so your living room stays clean while we work in the washroom. This lets you carry on with your day without feeling stressed about the construction process.
Whether you live near the main roads or deeper into the 97144 area, our service is tailored to reach you. We bring everything needed to turn that dark, clunky corner into a bright, inviting spot. You will be amazed at how much natural light can flood a space once the tub is gone.
Removing a tub leaves a gap that we can easily fill with built-in niches for your soaps and sponges. These recessed shelves stay out of your way while keeping everything you need right at your fingertips. You get a tidy organization system that keeps the floor clear of clutter.
Additionally, we can install folding seats or benches that give you extra room for grooming. These seats are great for when you want to take your time and enjoy a slow rinse after a long day. You get a serene atmosphere without needing to fill a tub with water.
For those who love gadgets, we can add multiple spray heads at different heights for a full-body experience. This feature turns a mundane chore into something you actually look forward to every single day. Your daily hygiene routine becomes a small luxury that you can enjoy right at home.
Maybe you are worried about the cost, but think about the long-term benefits for your home's resale value. Potential buyers love modern bathrooms, and a sleek, walk-in design is a huge selling point. You are making an investment that pays for itself in both quality of life and future equity.

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 Timber 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.
