Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Do you hate climbing over a high porcelain wall every single morning just to get clean? Well, that old bathroom eyesore takes up way too much space and causes dangerous slips.
Now, you can replace that giant basin with a sleek walk-in enclosure built right for your local home. This upgrade gives you total safety and modern luxury without breaking your bank account.
That heavy cast iron basin is probably rusting away and making your entire bathroom feel stuck in the past. Fortunately, ditching it opens up your floor plan so you can actually move around freely. Besides that, you stop risking nasty falls on slippery tile surfaces.
Consequently, your daily routine becomes much easier and far safer for everyone in the household. This smart plumbing swap brings incredible value to your property while upgrading your lifestyle. Meanwhile, local families across Kendall County are making the switch for better everyday practicality.
Behind every great bathroom remodel is a crew of dedicated local workers who know their stuff. When you hire our crew, we bring all the right tools to rip out that ancient porcelain monster. Following that, we waterproof everything tightly so you never deal with hidden mold problems.
By doing this, you protect your subfloor from rotting out over the years. Plus, your new bathing area stays bone dry outside the glass doors because we install proper sloping. Every single joint gets sealed with heavy-duty silicone to stop leaks dead in their tracks.
Getting your washroom fixed up might seem like a massive headache before you talk to a pro. Yet, our streamlined workflow makes the whole construction phase totally painless for you. First off, we protect your hallway floors with thick drop cloths before taking a single tool inside.
Next, we disconnect the old drain lines and haul that heavy tub away in pieces. This careful approach ensures your drywall and vanity stay completely unharmed during the demo.

Transitioning from a cramped bathing box to an open stall takes just a few focused days. During this time, our tradesmen work efficiently to minimize any disruption to your family schedule. Once the final glass panel goes up, you get a pristine washing zone ready for action.
Throughout the ZIP code 78074 region, homeowners love how fast this transformation happens. Because our town has a tiny population of 59 friendly folks, we treat every single client like close family. You never get treated like just another number on a corporate clipboard here.
Choosing the right tiles and fixtures can make or break your entire remodeling project. For example, textured ceramic tiles give your bare feet plenty of grip when things get soapy. Alternatively, solid surface acrylic walls wipe clean in seconds without harsh chemical scrubbing.
This means you spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your day. On top of that, frameless glass doors make even the smallest washroom look massive and bright.
Furthermore, adding built-in seating gives you a nice spot to sit while shaving your legs. Recessed soap niches keep your shampoo bottles off the floor and out of your way. Every feature we install serves a real purpose tailored to your personal habits.
As median household income varies across the state, we always work closely with your budget limits. You tell us what you want to spend and we customize a plan accordingly. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges waiting at the end of the job.
Aging in place requires smart planning so you can stay independent in your own home. Therefore, adding sturdy stainless steel grab bars into the studs is an absolute must. These heavy anchor points support your full weight whenever you step inside.
Along with that, a low-profile threshold means zero tripping hazards on your way in or out. Your older relatives or kids can use the space without any fear of falling.
Anti-scald pressure-balancing valves prevent sudden bursts of freezing or boiling water while you shower. This smart plumbing technology keeps your skin safe from accidental thermal shocks every single time. Modern fixtures also use less water while keeping high pressure for a great rinse.

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 Waring 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.
