Maybe you feel tired of stepping over that high porcelain ledge every single morning just to wash up.
This common daily struggle often leads to slipped footing and constant frustration in your own bathroom.
Fortunately, we can swap that bulky water basin for a sleek, low-barrier wash area that fits your lifestyle perfectly.
By making this simple upgrade, you instantly create a safer environment for everyone in your home.
Which means you can finally stop worrying about slips and falls on slick, wet surfaces.
Our skilled crew handles everything from the initial tear-out to the very last bead of waterproof silicone sealant.
Actually, we love helping folks transform their outdated spaces into beautiful, functional washrooms without the headache.
We offer totally free on-site estimates to help you plan this project without any financial pressure upfront.
This easy first step lets you visualize a gorgeous, modern setup that makes your morning routine feel like a breeze.
As time goes on, our daily needs in the bathroom change quite a bit.
Those old-fashioned deep basins take up a massive amount of floor space while offering very little actual utility.
Replacing them with a spacious, walk-in design open up the entire room and makes it feel twice as big.
On top of that, cleaning a flat floor is ten times easier than scrubbing grime out of curved corners.
You will spend way less time on your knees with harsh chemical cleaners trying to make things shine.
Instead, you get durable, non-porous acrylic walls that resist mold growth and wipe clean with a simple cloth.
Moreover, this smart remodel drastically improves the overall accessibility of your home for years to come.
If you plan to stay in your house long-term, this update protects your independence and daily peace of mind.
We customize every project with sturdy grab bars, built-in benches, and recessed shampoo niches for ultimate convenience.
| Feature of the Upgrade | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| Low-threshold entry step | Reduces tripping hazards and improves safety |
| Non-porous acrylic surrounds | Prevents mold buildup and cuts down cleaning time |
| Custom built-in seating | Provides a relaxing, stable place to sit while washing |
| Modern slip-resistant flooring | Offers superior traction under wet feet |
First, we schedule a quick visit to inspect your existing plumbing layout and take precise measurements.
This detailed assessment ensures we do not run into unexpected structural surprises once the demolition begins.
Because we value your time, we explain every single detail of the installation process before any work starts.
Next, our experienced team carefully extracts the old heavy cast iron or steel fixture from your wall pocket.
We inspect the subfloor underneath for hidden water damage or rot that might cause issues later down the road.
Fixing these structural problems right away guarantees your new setup stands on a rock-solid, dry foundation.
Then, we install the brand-new pan and connect it directly to your existing drain system with leak-proof fittings.
After securing the base, we mount the beautiful wall panels and high-quality fixtures of your choice.
This seamless installation process keeps your home clean and typically wraps up in just a couple of days.
To start, you get to choose from a wide variety of wall patterns that mimic expensive stone tile.
These modern materials look incredibly realistic but do not require any of the high-maintenance grout cleaning.
This means you enjoy a high-end look without the constant upkeep of traditional ceramic tiles...
Additionally, we offer beautiful hardware finishes like brushed nickel, matte black, and classic polished chrome.
Matching these fixtures to your existing sink faucet creates a cohesive, designer look throughout the space.
We also install adjustable sliding showerheads that let you direct the water spray exactly where you need it.
Naturally, your personal safety in the bathroom remains our absolute top priority during every single job.
We anchor heavy-duty grab bars directly into the wall studs so they can support your weight without budging.
This secure setup gives you total confidence when entering or exiting your new slip-resistant washing space.
Furthermore, we can install comfortable fold-up benches that save space when they are not actively in use.
This handy addition allows you to rest comfortably while enjoying a warm, relaxing wash.
Our low entry thresholds measure just a few inches high, making wheelchair transitions incredibly smooth and effortless.

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 Tuscumbia 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.
