Our Union crew pulls the idle tub, keeps the alcove, and hands back a shower anywhere in Jones County within days.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Getting into a high-sided tub every single morning can feel like climbing a small mountain when you are half-awake.
By replacing that bulky old basin with a sleek walk-in design, you instantly create a safer and much more open space.
This smart home improvement project completely changes how you experience your daily hygiene routine.
Maybe you are tired of scrubbing those hard-to-reach corners under the old faucet fixtures.
Upgrading to a contemporary walk-in setup makes cleaning your bathing area a total breeze.
On top of that, you will save precious minutes every day because water drains away much faster on a flat surface.
Our dedicated crew loves helping folks transform their outdated washrooms into beautiful spaces.
When we visit your home, we inspect the existing layout to figure out the easiest way to swap your fixtures.
You get a clear plan that fits your budget without any hidden surprises or confusing contract language.
Stepping over a high porcelain barrier poses a real slip hazard for children and older adults alike.
Choosing a low-profile entry base eliminates this obstacle entirely and keeps your family much safer.
This simple change gives you peace of mind every time someone steps in to get clean.
Another great benefit is the illusion of extra square footage in a tight bathroom layout.
Removing a massive cast-iron tub opens up the sightlines so your whole room feels twice as big.
This visual trick works wonders in cozy homes where every single inch of floor space counts.
Furthermore, we install high-quality acrylic wall surrounds that resist mold and stubborn mildew growth.
Which means you spend less money on harsh chemical cleaners and less time on your knees scrubbing grout lines.
You get to enjoy a sparkling clean washroom with just a quick wipe down after each use.
| Feature | Old Heavy Tub Setup | New Low-Threshold Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches high | Under 3 inches high |
| Maintenance Needs | High scrub grout lines | Easy-wipe seamless panels |
| Visual Space | Blocks room light | Opens up the floor plan |
| Safety Rating | Higher slip risk | Excellent stability |
First, we schedule a quick visit to look at your plumbing valves and measure your current alcove.
This step allows us to spot any hidden water damage behind your drywall before we start building.
We believe in doing things right the first time so you do not face costly repairs down the road.
Next, we carefully remove your old heavy basin without damaging the surrounding walls or floorboards.
Our team hauls away the heavy debris so you do not have to worry about trash day.
After that, we prep the subfloor and run new drain pipes to match the center of your new layout.
Finally, we secure the slip-resistant base and install beautiful, waterproof wall panels.
We seal every single joint with premium silicone to ensure a lifetime of leak-free performance.
Once we finish the cleanup, your brand-new washing space is ready for action in just a couple of days.
You can choose from a wide variety of wall textures that look exactly like expensive stone tile.
This lets you achieve a high-end look without paying the premium price tag for real marble.
You get the beauty of natural stone combined with the durability of modern engineered materials.
Adding convenient accessories like built-in corner shelves keeps your shampoos and soaps organized.
No more balancing plastic bottles on tiny ledges where they constantly fall onto your feet.
We can also install sturdy grab bars that blend perfectly with your shiny new faucet hardware.
Perhaps you want a comfortable fold-down seat for extra stability while you wash your hair.
These smart seating options tuck away easily so other family members still have plenty of standing room.
We customize every single detail to match the way you live your life.
Investing in your property now helps maintain its market value for years to come.
Many home buyers look for modern walk-in setups because they do not want to tackle messy renovations themselves.
Your home becomes much more attractive to potential buyers if you ever decide to sell it.
In our lovely community located in Newton and Neshoba counties, homeowners appreciate quality craftsmanship that lasts.
Whether you live near the heart of town or closer to the quiet outskirts of Union, Mississippi, we bring top-tier service to your doorstep.
We know the local building codes inside and out, which ensures your project meets every single safety standard.
With a local population of about 2,021 residents, we treat every customer like our next-door neighbor.
People in the 39365 ZIP code area trust us to keep our promises and deliver beautiful results on time.
We work hard to make sure your project fits comfortably within the average household budget of our local neighborhood.
While we love these projects, we always want to give you the honest truth about home renovations.
The biggest drawback is losing the ability to take a deep soak after a long day of hard work.
If you have small toddlers who absolutely need a bath, keeping at least one tub in your house is usually best.
On the bright side, the daily water savings will put a smile on your face when the utility bill arrives.
Standing washing areas generally use less hot water than filling a giant basin up to the brim.
This means your water heater does not have to work overtime, saving you cash on electricity or gas.
Additionally, the installation process is incredibly fast compared to a full-scale bathroom tear-out.
We minimize the dust and noise so your household routine stays as normal as possible during the construction.
Our crew treats your home with the utmost respect from the moment we walk through your front door.
Planning a renovation should not involve stressful guesswork or pushy sales tactics.
That is why we offer completely free home consultations to discuss your design ideas and budget goals.
We listen to your needs and give you a detailed breakdown of the total project cost.
This transparent approach allows you to make an informed decision without feeling any pressure.
You can review our proposal at your own pace and talk it over with your family.
We believe that our high-quality materials and friendly service speak for themselves.

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 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.
