Tub to Shower Conversion

Tub to Shower Conversions in Youngstown & the Mahoning Valley

Replace your underused bathtub with a modern, accessible shower. More space, easier access, and a cleaner look for your bathroom.

Many homeowners in the Mahoning Valley have bathtubs they rarely use. If stepping over the tub wall feels unsafe or your bathroom layout feels cramped, a tub to shower conversion may be the right move.

A conversion replaces your existing bathtub with a custom-built shower in the same footprint. There is no need to expand your bathroom or rearrange plumbing - we work within the existing space to create a shower that fits naturally. The result is typically a more open, functional bathroom with improved accessibility.

Our process starts with removing the tub and any surrounding tile or surround panels. We then address the subfloor and wall surfaces, install a new shower base or custom tile floor with proper drainage, waterproof the walls, and finish with your choice of tile, glass enclosures, fixtures, and accessories.

Tub to shower conversions are especially popular among homeowners who want to age in place safely. A curbless or low-threshold shower entry makes getting in and out easier for everyone, and built-in benches and grab bars add both safety and comfort without sacrificing style.

We handle everything from demolition through finish work, including any plumbing modifications needed to relocate the drain or add new valve positions. Most conversions are completed in 5 to 7 working days.

Common Questions About Tub to Shower

Most tub to shower conversions take 5 to 7 working days. Simpler projects with panel systems can be done faster, while custom tile work may add a day or two.

In most cases, no. If you keep at least one bathtub in the home, converting an additional tub to a shower is generally seen as a positive update by buyers. Walk-in showers are highly desirable in the current market.

Yes. We offer both built-in tiled benches and fold-down bench seats. A shower bench adds comfort, convenience, and accessibility to any shower.

We reuse existing plumbing lines when possible. If the drain location needs to move or you want to add a handheld sprayer or body jets, we handle those plumbing modifications as part of the project.
