If you want to swap your bulky old tub for a sleek walk-in stall, our local crew can make that happen fast. We help you ditch that high ledged barrier so you can step into a spacious daily wash area without tripping.
Picture yourself stepping onto a flat, non-slip surface instead of climbing over a cold porcelain wall. This smart upgrade instantly opens up your cramped layout and makes your morning routine feel way more breezy. Our team specializes in swapping out those outdated basin fixtures to give you a modern, spacious stall setup that fits your life perfectly.
Which means you get a safer and more stylish space without dealing with a massive, dusty tear-out that drags on for weeks. We focus on quick, clean swaps that completely change how your room looks and functions. You can grab a free estimate today to see how easily this change fits your budget.
On top of that, making this change is the single best way to prevent slips and falls in the wettest part of your home. Many folks find that climbing over a high ledge gets tough over the years, so a low-profile entry makes total sense. We bring all the tools and heavy duty acrylic or tile materials right to your door to get the job done right.
Living in this beautiful valley of Yakima County means enjoying all four seasons, but it also means dealing with chilly winter mornings when a drafty, deep tub feels like a giant waste of hot water. With a local population of 93,416 people, many of our neighbors are choosing to modernize their older homes by removing those unused basins. It is a practical upgrade that matches the busy, outdoor-loving lifestyle of our community.
This lets you save water and cut down on your heating bills because you are not filling up a massive basin just to wash off the day. Instead, you get a fast, steaming stream in a tightly sealed enclosure that keeps the warmth right where you need it. Plus, you will spend way less time scrubbing stubborn soap scum off those old, hard-to-reach corners.
Considering the local median household income of $44,266, we know that home investments need to be smart, durable, and affordable. That is why we offer high-quality materials that do not break the bank but still look incredibly high-end. Our custom fits prevent leaks from ruining your subfloor, which saves you from costly repairs down the road.
First, our skilled installers arrive at your home to carefully measure your existing alcove so we can design a perfect fit. We can help you choose the ideal wall surrounds, fixtures, and built-in seating options that match your style. You do not have to worry about messy plumbing relocations because we adapt the new drain to your current setup.
Then, we demo the old, heavy cast iron or fiberglass basin with minimal disruption to the rest of your home. We inspect the underlying wood for any hidden water damage or mold before we install the new waterproof backing. This attention to detail ensures your new setup remains solid and dry for decades to come.
Finally, we secure the slip-resistant pan and seal the gorgeous new wall panels in place. We finish the job with heavy-duty glass doors or a clean curtain rod depending on your personal preference. You will be amazed at how much larger your entire washroom looks once that bulky barrier is gone.

If you plan to stay in your home for the long haul, planning ahead for mobility needs is incredibly wise.

You get peace of mind knowing that every member of your family can wash up safely and independently.

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 Yakima 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.
