Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Are you tired of stepping over a giant porcelain wall every single morning just to wash off. This local service fixes that exact problem by swapping out old tubs for sleek walk-in shower stalls. Plus you get a completely free estimate right at your house.
Now you can finally ditch that clunky old bathtub that nobody ever uses anymore. This clever upgrade gives you a luxurious bathing area that makes your morning routine feel like a breeze. By swapping units, you gain total peace of mind and incredible ease of access.
Bathtubs take up way too much floor space in smaller homes across this part of the state. Removing that massive basin lets you move around your room without bumping your elbows. Therefore you enjoy a much more open atmosphere while getting ready for your busy day.
Cleaning a deep basin hurts your back after bending over for twenty minutes straight. Modern shower stalls feature smooth acrylic walls that wipe down in mere seconds. Consequently you spend less time scrubbing soap scum and more time relaxing.
Skilled technicians arrive at your home to tear out the heavy iron or fiberglass monster safely. Then they inspect the subfloor for any hidden water damage before building the new shower base. This meticulous process ensures your floor stays solid and dry for decades.
Next they install gorgeous waterproof panels and safety grab bars tailored to your exact height. Woods County homeowners love how fast this crew finishes the whole job without destroying the rest of the house. That means you get a brand new bathroom without living in a construction zone for months.
Slipping on a wet tub floor sends shudders down the spine of any homeowner. Low threshold shower bases eliminate that terrifying high step completely. As a result you protect your loved ones from dangerous falls while keeping independence intact.
Adding built-in seating lets you sit down and enjoy a warm cascade of water without fatigue. This clever feature turns a basic daily chore into a spa-like retreat right inside your master suite. Meanwhile sturdy handrails give you something solid to grip whenever you need extra stability.
Outdated fixtures make an entire house look stuck in the past century. Upgrading to a modern walk-in enclosure immediately catches the eye of potential home buyers. Because of this smart investment your property stands out wonderfully on the local real estate market.
First impressions matter a whole lot when friends come over to visit your living space. Gleaming glass doors and shiny chrome fixtures radiate pure luxury and modern charm. Therefore you feel genuinely proud every time you show guests around your newly remodeled house.
Choosing custom wall surrounds lets you match your exact taste and home decor style. You can pick anything from classic subway tile patterns to rich marble looks without the heavy grout maintenance. This freedom guarantees your new shower matches your personality perfectly.
Selecting durable fixtures prevents annoying leaks down the road. High-flow showerheads deliver a drenching spray while saving water at the same time. Hence you lower your utility bills while enjoying a vastly superior shower experience every single day.
Workers arrive bright and early with drop cloths to protect your hallway floors. They work efficiently to remove the old debris and haul it away from your property. This thoughtful cleanup policy leaves your home just as tidy as they found it.
Plumbing connections get hooked up with precision to guarantee optimal water pressure and fast drainage. Experienced hands seal every single seam with industrial-grade silicone to block moisture from sneaking behind the walls. Ultimately you receive a watertight enclosure built to withstand heavy daily use.
Look at this quick comparison to see how a modern walk-in enclosure stacks up against keeping that old tub.

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 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.
