Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Turn the Tub You Never Use Into the Shower You Want

Climbing over a tub wall every day gets old. A tub-to-shower conversion replaces it with an open, walk-in shower — more room, easier entry and a cleaner, modern look.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

More space, easier access, a more modern bathroom

If your bathtub mostly collects shampoo bottles, converting it to a shower is one of the most practical upgrades you can make. We remove the tub and install a new shower base, walls, glass and fixtures in the same space.

Conversions are especially popular with homeowners planning to age in place, busy households who prefer quick showers, and anyone who wants the bathroom to feel larger and brighter.

Benefits

Why homeowners choose tub-to-shower conversion

  • Easier to step in

    A low-profile shower base eliminates the high tub wall you have to climb over.

  • Feels more spacious

    Clear glass and an open layout make a small bathroom feel bigger.

  • Safety options

    Add a seat, grab bars and a handheld showerhead for comfort and stability.

  • Simple upkeep

    Low-maintenance walls and fewer seams cut down on scrubbing.

A great fit for:

  • Bathtubs that rarely get used
  • Homeowners planning to age in place
  • Smaller bathrooms that need to feel larger
  • Anyone who finds stepping over a tub difficult

FAQ

Tub-to-Shower Conversion FAQs

Will removing my only bathtub hurt resale value?

It depends on your home and local market. Many homeowners keep at least one tub in the house; we’re happy to talk through the trade-offs honestly during your consultation.

Does a conversion fit in my existing tub space?

In most cases, yes. The new shower is typically installed in the same footprint as your current bathtub.

Can the new shower be accessible?

Yes. Low-threshold bases, seats, grab bars and handheld showerheads are all available. See our accessible showers page for more.
