What It Is

What is Tub-to-Shower Conversion?

If your bathtub sits unused, or getting in and out of it has become a challenge, converting it into a walk-in shower opens up your bathroom and makes daily routines easier and safer. We remove the old tub and build out a custom shower to fit your space.

From smooth acrylic wall panels to tiled surrounds and glass enclosures, we tailor every conversion to your bathroom's size and your personal style, with a fast, clean installation process.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Tub-to-Shower Conversion

How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?

Most conversions are completed in one to two days, depending on wall finish (panel vs. tile) and any plumbing changes needed.

Will this affect my home's resale value?

A modern, accessible shower is a popular feature for buyers of all ages, though we generally recommend keeping at least one tub in the home if you have multiple bathrooms.

Can I add a bench or grab bars?

Yes. Benches, grab bars, and niches are common, popular add-ons we can include in your conversion.

What wall finish options do you offer?

We offer smooth acrylic wall panels, subway tile, and other tile patterns in a range of colors, including matte black fixture finishes for a modern look.

Do I need a permit?

Most conversions using existing plumbing don't require a permit, but we'll confirm what's needed for your specific project during your estimate.
