Bathtub to Shower Conversion

Bathtub to shower conversion near Sanford. Custom walk-in showers, professional tile work. Free estimates.

You have a bathtub you never use taking up valuable space in your bathroom. Getting in and out is harder than it should be, or you simply prefer a shower. Whatever the reason, the tub needs to go and a walk-in shower needs to take its place.

We convert bathtubs to custom walk-in showers throughout Central Florida. We handle the demolition, reconfigure plumbing as needed, install waterproofing, tile the walls and floor, and finish with a frameless or semi-frameless glass enclosure. We're licensed and insured, and our shower conversions are built to last. Call us for a free estimate and to see our completed work.

What the conversion includes

We demolish the existing tub and surround, reconfigure the drain and water lines if needed, install a curb or curbless base, waterproof the area, and install your choice of tile on the walls and floor. We finish with a custom glass shower enclosure. Depending on your preference, we can build a traditional style or a modern walk-in. Everything is done to code.

What drives the project cost

The size of the shower, your choice of tile and finishes, whether the plumbing needs to be moved, and the condition of the existing walls all affect the price. A straightforward conversion costs less than one requiring significant plumbing or structural work. We give you a clear estimate during the consultation.

How the project runs from start to finish

We start with an on-site estimate and design consultation. Once you approve the design and price, we schedule the work. Demolition, prep, plumbing, and waterproofing typically happen first, followed by tile installation and the glass enclosure. We clean up thoroughly and walk you through the finished shower.

Bathtub to Shower Conversion: common questions

How long does a tub to shower conversion take?

Most conversions take one to two weeks, depending on tile complexity, plumbing work needed, and material availability. We give you a timeline once we see the bathroom and finalize the design.

Do I need a permit for a bathtub to shower conversion?

Yes, a permit is typically required when you modify the plumbing or structural layout of a bathroom. We handle the permitting process as part of the job.

What goes wrong with a poorly done tub to shower conversion?

Bad waterproofing leads to leaks into the wall and floor below, causing rot and mold. Poorly sloped tile work traps water. Misaligned plumbing creates drainage issues. That's why the work needs to be done right the first time by licensed professionals.

Can you do a curbless shower?

Yes. We build both traditional showers with a curb and curbless walk-in styles. Curbless showers are easier to clean and safer, though they require careful slope planning to drain properly.
