Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Maybe you feel tired of stepping over that high, dangerous wall just to get clean every single morning. That old basin takes up way too much space and feels like a giant trip hazard waiting to happen. By swapping that bulky tub for a modern, walk-in stall, you instantly make your daily routine safer and much faster.
Our skilled local team loves helping folks make this exact transition without any unnecessary stress or mess. We come right to your home in Bibb County to look at your setup and give you a free estimate. This means you get a clear plan and a fair price without spending a single dime upfront.
Taking this step brings a fresh, open feeling to your entire master bath or guest restroom. Your old space will suddenly look twice as big and way more modern. Plus, cleaning a flat floor with sleek glass walls is ten times easier than scrubbing grime out of rusty porcelain corners.
Think about how often you actually sit down and take a long soak these days. If you are like most busy people, the answer is probably almost never. Because of this, that giant dust-collector is just wasting valuable real estate that you could use for a spacious, refreshing walk-in area.
Safety is another huge deal that you cannot afford to ignore as the years roll by. Slipping on wet porcelain sends thousands of people to the emergency room every year. When we install a low-profile base with a textured slip-resistant floor, you can finally relax knowing your risk of falling is virtually gone.
This smart home improvement also boosts your property value if you ever decide to sell down the road. Modern buyers do not want outdated fixtures from decades ago. Instead, they look for clean lines, bright spaces, and easy accessibility that fits a fast-paced lifestyle.

|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Usually 14 to 18 inches | Only 1 to 3 inches |
| Required Space | Cramped and bulky | Open and airy |
| Cleaning Time | High scrub effort | Quick wipe down |
| Water Usage | High gallons per soak | Efficient flow rate |
First, we start by carefully protecting your floors and carpets before we ever touch a single tool. Our crew believes in treating your house with the utmost respect. We carefully remove the old heavy cast iron or acrylic unit without damaging your surrounding drywall or plumbing pipes.
Next, we inspect the hidden wood framing and subfloor underneath for any signs of mold or water damage. Fixing these hidden issues now prevents expensive headaches for you in the future. Once we know the foundation is rock solid, we run the new drain lines and set your custom base.
After that, you get to choose your favorite wall surrounds, beautiful tile patterns, or seamless acrylic panels. We install these waterproof barriers with top-grade sealants to ensure a leak-free life. Finally, we add your chosen fixtures, secure grab bars, and mount the premium glass doors to complete the gorgeous look.
You can customize your new space with incredible features like built-in seating or recessed corner caddies for your shampoos. Imagine having a dedicated spot to rest your feet or store your shaving supplies without cluttering the floor. These small touches transform a simple chore into a spa-like experience every day.
Choosing the right hardware lets you match your existing vanity faucets and light fixtures perfectly. Whether you love the classic look of brushed nickel or the bold statement of matte black, we have options for you. Our high-pressure showerheads also help you save water while still delivering a powerful, relaxing spray.
If you prefer a totally seamless look, we can even design a curbless entry that aligns perfectly with your floor. This barrier-free design is perfect for wheelchairs or anyone who wants the ultimate modern look. It creates a continuous visual flow that makes even the smallest bathrooms feel like a luxury retreat.
Opting for high-quality non-porous acrylic panels saves you hours of scrubbing moldy grout lines on your weekends. These durable surfaces resist fading, scratching, and chipping even after years of daily use. This means your bathroom keeps its showroom shine without requiring harsh chemical cleaners.
If you prefer a traditional look, custom ceramic or porcelain tile offers endless design possibilities. You can mix and match colors, sizes, and textures to create a truly unique masterpiece. We always use premium water-resistant backer boards and high-grade grout sealant to protect your walls from moisture seep.
We must warn you that the first day of the project gets pretty noisy and dusty. Breaking up an old cast-iron tub requires some serious elbow grease and heavy hammering. However, our team uses specialized dust containment systems to keep the mess confined strictly to the work area.
We also haul away all the heavy debris and dispose of it properly so you do not have to worry about a thing. You will not have to deal with a messy driveway or trips to the local landfill. We leave your home looking clean, tidy, and ready for you to enjoy your new upgrade.

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 Unionville 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.
