If you feel trapped by a bulky basin that you never actually fill with water, you are not alone. Many homeowners in our small corner of Canadian County face this exact struggle daily. That is why we specialize in transforming your old, high-walled bathing tub into a modern, walk-in washing area. This simple change instantly opens up your room and makes your daily routine much faster. You will finally get the modern layout you deserve without the stress of a full remodel.
We know how annoying it is to climb over a steep ledge just to wash off after a hard day of work. By swapping that old fixture for a low-profile base, you create a safer and much more spacious environment. Plus, we come right to your home to look at your setup and give you a free estimate. This means you get honest, local advice without spending a single dime upfront.
Our team handles the heavy lifting so you do not have to worry about leaks or bad plumbing. We take pride in helping our neighbors update their homes with durable materials that look great and last for decades. You get to enjoy a fresh, clean space that fits your lifestyle perfectly. Let us help you turn that outdated corner into your favorite part of the house.
Think about how much space that old acrylic or cast-iron monstrosity actually steals from your floor plan. When you replace it with a sleek, barrier-free entry, you gain valuable square footage. This change lets you move around more freely without bumping your elbows on sliding glass doors. Which means your morning routine suddenly feels way less cramped and stressful.
Safety is another huge deal for many folks around here, especially as we get older or deal with nagging injuries. Stepping over a wet, slippery wall that is two feet high invites nasty slips and painful falls. Removing that obstacle completely gives you peace of mind every time you step in to clean up. On top of that, we can install sturdy grab bars and built-in benches to make the space even safer.
Cleaning a deep, curved basin is also a total pain on your back and knees. Scrubbing those hard-to-reach corners requires awkward bending that nobody enjoys. A flat, non-porous floor paired with modern wall panels wipes down in just a few seconds. This saves you precious time and keeps your home looking spotless with minimal effort on your part.
Selecting the best surfaces ensures your new setup handles daily moisture without growing mold or mildew. We offer top-grade non-porous acrylics and composite stone options that resist stains beautifully. This allows you to avoid harsh chemical cleaners that ruin your indoor air quality. You will love how easy it is to keep everything looking brand new.
We also make sure the structural support underneath your floor is completely solid before we install the new base. Sometimes old subfloors suffer from hidden water damage that needs fixing first. Our crew checks every inch to guarantee a level, rock-solid foundation. This protects your home investment and prevents costly leaks down the road.
| Material Option | Key Benefit | Maintenance Level |
|---|---|---|
| High-Grade Acrylic | Resists chipping and scratching | Very Low |
| Solid Composite | Feels sturdy and looks premium | Low |
| Ceramic Tile | Fully customizable designs | Medium |
Adding personal touches lets you design a space that fits your exact physical needs and style preferences. You can choose from rainfall showerheads, handheld sprayers, or even multiple body jets. This custom setup delivers a refreshing experience that makes you look forward to waking up. You get the ultimate utility tailored to your daily habits.
Storage is another detail that many people forget about until their bottles are sitting on the floor. We integrate recessed shelves and corner caddies directly into your new wall panels. This keeps your shampoos and soaps organized and within easy arm's reach. Your space stays tidy and clutter-free without messy plastic organizers hanging from the pipe.
Most homeowners worry that a project like this will leave them without a bathroom for weeks on end. However, our experienced crew works fast and keeps the mess contained to the work area. We respect your property and clean up every speck of dust before we pack up our tools. This means you get a fast turnaround without the usual headaches of home construction.
First, we carefully extract the old basin and inspect the exposed pipes for any signs of wear. If we find old galvanized steel or worn-out copper, we replace it with modern, flexible lines. This proactive step prevents future plumbing emergencies behind your beautiful new walls. You get a reliable system that works perfectly from day one.
Next, we install the waterproof backing boards and seal every single seam with high-quality silicone. This creates a watertight barrier that keeps moisture from seeping into your drywall. After that, we fit the new base and walls with absolute precision. This careful process ensures a flawless fit that looks spectacular and functions flawlessly.
Investing in your home is a big decision, especially when budgets are tight. Fortunately, this specific remodel offers one of the highest returns on investment for residential properties. Potential buyers love seeing a modern, accessible walk-in washing area instead of an old, stained basin. This upgrade makes your property stand out if you ever decide to sell.

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 Union City 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.
