Complete Tub-to-Shower
Conversion Process
Initial Assessment and Design Planning
Our conversion process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your existing bathroom layout, plumbing configuration, and structural considerations. We assess your current bathtub space, measure available dimensions, and discuss your preferences for shower features and accessibility requirements.
During the planning phase, we review options for shower base styles, wall surrounds, door configurations, and fixture placements. Our design expertise ensures your new shower maximizes available space while providing optimal functionality and visual appeal.
Professional Removal and Preparation
We carefully remove your existing bathtub, including disconnection of plumbing fixtures, removal of surrounding tile or wall materials, and proper disposal of old components. Our team protects surrounding areas and minimizes disruption to your bathroom during the removal process.
Following removal, we prepare the conversion area by modifying plumbing connections as needed, ensuring proper drainage slope, and creating the foundation for your new shower installation.
Custom Shower Installation
Our skilled installers create your new shower space using quality materials and proven installation techniques. We install shower bases, wall surrounds, plumbing fixtures, and door systems with careful attention to waterproofing, proper drainage, and long-term durability.
We ensure all components work together seamlessly to provide a shower that looks beautiful, functions perfectly, and stands up to daily use for years to come.
Shower Design
Options and Features
Walk-in Shower Configurations
Walk-in showers eliminate the need to step over high tub walls, making bathroom access easier and safer for users of all ages. We create walk-in designs with low or no threshold entries, grab bars for safety, and spacious interiors that accommodate comfortable movement.
These configurations are particularly beneficial for seniors, individuals with mobility challenges, or anyone who prefers the convenience and accessibility of barrier-free shower access.
Modern Shower Enclosures
Choose from various enclosure options including sliding glass doors, hinged doors, or frameless glass systems that create an open, contemporary appearance. Our enclosure selections complement your bathroom's style while providing effective water containment.
Glass enclosures make bathrooms appear larger and brighter while offering easy maintenance and timeless appeal that enhances your home's value.
Custom Tile and Finish Options
Personalize your new shower with custom tile work, natural stone accents, or modern wall panel systems. We work with various materials including ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and engineered surfaces to create the aesthetic you desire. Our finish options include contemporary patterns, classic subway tiles, mosaic accents, and textured surfaces that provide both beauty and slip resistance for enhanced safety.
Accessibility and Safety Enhancements
Barrier-Free Shower Access
Our tub-to-shower conversions can include barrier-free designs that eliminate thresholds entirely, creating smooth transitions from bathroom floor to shower area. This design is ideal for wheelchair accessibility or future aging-in-place considerations. Barrier-free showers maintain water containment through proper drainage design and strategic placement of glass panels or curtain systems.
Safety Features and Grab Bars
We integrate safety features seamlessly into your shower design, including strategically placed grab bars, slip-resistant flooring, and comfortable seating options. These elements provide security without compromising the shower's aesthetic appeal. Built-in safety features are more attractive and durable than aftermarket additions, providing long-term value and peace of mind for your family's safety.
Universal Design Elements
Universal design principles create showers that work well for users of varying abilities and ages. Features like adjustable shower heads, hand-held spray options, and convenient storage niches enhance functionality for everyone.
These thoughtful design elements make daily routines more comfortable and convenient while ensuring your bathroom remains accessible as your family's needs evolve.
Plumbing and Technical Considerations
Drainage System Modifications
Converting from tub to shower often requires drainage system
adjustments to ensure proper water flow and prevent standing
water. Our plumbing experts modify existing drain lines and install
appropriate shower drains that handle water volume efficiently.
Proper drainage design prevents water damage and ensures your new
shower functions optimally while meeting local plumbing codes and
standards.
Water Pressure and Supply Optimization
We evaluate your home's water pressure and supply capacity to ensure optimal shower performance. When necessary, we make adjustments to provide satisfying water pressure and temperature control for your new shower system.
Our plumbing modifications include upgrading supply lines, installing pressure-balancing valves, and ensuring adequate hot water capacity for comfortable shower experiences.
Electrical and Lighting Integration
Many shower conversions benefit from updated lighting and electrical features. We can install exhaust fans, recessed lighting, and electrical outlets positioned safely outside the shower area for convenience and functionality.
Proper ventilation prevents moisture problems and maintains air quality, while updated lighting enhances safety and creates an inviting shower environment.
