Tub-to-Shower Conversion

If climbing over the tub wall has become the scariest part of your day, a tub-to-shower conversion is often the simplest fix. We remove the old tub and replace it with a safe, low- or zero-threshold shower, usually in just a few days, and often without a full remodel.

Trade the tub wall for a safe step-in shower

The tub you’ve had for decades may now be the single biggest hazard in your home. A tub-to-shower conversion removes it and puts a safe, accessible shower in its place, with a low or zero threshold, a seat, grab bars, and a hand-held sprayer. Because we’re working in the existing footprint, it’s usually faster and more affordable than a full remodel.

What’s included

  • Tub removal: out with the high wall you have to climb over.
  • Accessible shower: low-threshold walk-in or fully curbless roll-in.
  • Seating & grab bars: bathe seated with secure support.
  • Waterproofing done right: proper pan, drainage, and sealing for the long haul.

Which shower is right?

If you use a wheelchair, we’ll build toward a roll-in shower. If you can take a few steps and prefer soaking, a walk-in tub might be the better swap. Either way, a conversion targets the exact problem, the tub, without the cost of redoing the whole room. See all accessible bathroom options.

Frequently asked

Questions about tub-to-shower conversion

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

Many conversions are completed in just a few days, since we're replacing the tub rather than gutting the whole bathroom. We'll give you a clear timeline after a free assessment.

Can you make it a full roll-in shower?

Yes. Depending on your bathroom and needs, we can build a low-threshold walk-in shower or a fully curbless roll-in shower for wheelchair access, with seating and grab bars included.

Is a conversion cheaper than a full bathroom remodel?

Often, yes. Because we focus on the tub area rather than the entire room, a conversion is typically faster and more affordable than a complete remodel, while solving the biggest safety problem.
