Across Wyoming County, bathtubs that retired years ago give way to showers built in their own footprint.
Written quote at no cost, one callback, no chasing afterwards.
Are you tired of staring at that old, giant tub that takes up all your space? Getting rid of that clunky basin creates a sleek walk-in space that makes your daily routine much easier.
Swapping out your outdated washing vessel for a modern, open stall is a smart way to upgrade your home. This change gives you more room to move around and brings a feeling of total relaxation to your morning. You will find that this project transforms your bathroom into a modern sanctuary of ease.
Many folks living in this part of West Virginia realize that their tubs just gather dust. You likely use your bathroom every single day, so it should work exactly how you want it to. Getting a flat-entry area means no more stepping over high walls or risking a slip on wet surfaces.
This type of transition provides a massive boost to the overall functionality of your room. Plus, removing an old, stained tub makes the whole area look brand new without needing a total gut job. Think about the extra floor space you gain for storage or just better movement.
First, we carefully remove the heavy porcelain or acrylic structure that currently occupies your floor plan. Because we handle the demolition with care, you do not need to worry about damage to your existing tiles or pipes. This step saves you time and prevents a massive headache down the line.
Next, we prepare the subfloor and the wall area to ensure everything is level and watertight. This ensures that your new open washing station stays firm and leak-free for many years. We check the plumbing connections to confirm that your water flow remains strong and consistent.
Choosing the right wall panels or tile surrounds makes a huge difference in your daily experience. You can opt for durable acrylic boards that wipe clean in seconds or go for beautiful stone tiles that add a touch of luxury. The goal is to provide a setting that offers total physical rest and peace of mind.
On top of that, we install a high-quality drain system that whisks water away immediately. You never have to deal with standing water or gross puddles forming at your feet. Every piece of hardware we pick is designed to resist rust and maintain its shine for a very long time.
Investing in your property helps maintain its value if you ever decide to sell your house. Many buyers today look for modern, accessible layouts rather than old tubs that require heavy cleaning. This simple switch is a high-impact renovation that pays you back by making your life much more convenient.
Since the population of this region is spread out, having a home that is easy to maintain is a massive win. You save time on cleaning chores and gain extra moments to enjoy your day. That is the kind of smart improvement that makes you feel great about your house every single time you walk through the door.
Each home in this area is unique, so we never use a one-size-fits-all approach for your project. We arrive at your house, inspect the plumbing, and measure the space with precision. This lets you see exactly how the new setup will fit before we even pick up a tool.
| Feature | Benefit for you |
|---|---|
| Flat-entry base | Easier access and safer movement |
| Modern wall surround | Low maintenance and great looks |
| Upgraded drain system | No more standing water |
| Custom glass enclosure | More light and open feel |
| Quality hardware | Longer lifespan for your fixtures |
Because you value honesty, we explain every part of the work so you understand the process. There are no surprise fees or hidden costs that pop up once we start the job. You stay in the loop from the very first measurement until the final piece of glass is installed.
Old, chipped tubs often develop leaks underneath, which can cause rot in your floorboards. By tearing them out, we fix those hidden issues before they become expensive nightmares. This proactive approach protects your home and keeps your investment safe.
Sometimes, people worry about the mess that comes with a home improvement job. We use protective gear and tarps to keep your house clean while we work. You can rest easy knowing that we respect your property just as much as you do.

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.
