Bathroom Remodeling Specialists Centre Island
Two Decades of Long Island Bathroom Transformations
We’ve been helping Long Island families create better bathrooms since we started as a family business over twenty years ago. We’ve handled everything from cramped powder rooms to sprawling master baths, always with the same focus: understanding what you actually need, not just selling what we have.
Centre Island homes present unique opportunities and challenges. Whether you’re in a waterfront property dealing with humidity concerns or a historic home where every detail matters, we know how to blend modern functionality with the character you want to preserve.
Our reputation comes from delivering on what we promise. Fast installation, quality materials, and the kind of customer service that turns a bathroom project into a positive experience instead of a headache you’ll remember for years.
Bathtub to Shower Conversion Process
From Consultation to Completion in Days, Not Weeks
We start with a free in-home consultation where we measure your space, discuss your needs, and provide honest pricing with no pressure to decide immediately. You’ll know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
On installation day, our team arrives with everything needed to complete your bathtub removal and shower conversion. We protect your home, handle all plumbing modifications, and install your new shower system including custom-fitted glass doors that look like they were always meant to be there.
Most conversions are finished in 6-8 hours. We clean up completely, test everything to ensure it works properly, and walk you through your new shower before we leave. You can typically use it the next morning, though we recommend waiting 24 hours for all seals to cure fully.

Custom Shower Doors Centre Island
Everything Included, Nothing Left to Chance
Your tub to shower conversion includes complete bathtub removal, professional plumbing adjustments, installation of a slip-resistant shower base, durable wall surrounds, quality fixtures, and custom glass doors measured and cut specifically for your space.
We use materials designed for Long Island’s coastal climate—humidity-resistant, easy to clean, and built to maintain their appearance for decades. Every installation includes proper waterproofing and sealing because we know bathroom moisture problems only get worse over time.
Centre Island’s mix of architectural styles means no two conversions are identical. We customize each installation to complement your home’s character while delivering the modern functionality you need. Whether your bathroom is compact or spacious, traditional or contemporary, we create a shower that feels like it belongs.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take in Centre Island?
Most bathtub to shower conversions are completed in one day, typically 6-8 hours from arrival to cleanup. We remove your old tub, handle necessary plumbing modifications, and install your complete new shower system including custom glass doors.
You can usually shower the next day, though we recommend waiting 24 hours to let all seals and connections fully cure. The timeline can vary slightly if we encounter unexpected plumbing conditions, but we communicate any changes immediately and adjust our schedule accordingly.
This single-day approach means minimal disruption to your routine and no extended construction period that leaves your bathroom unusable for weeks like traditional remodeling projects.
What's the cost difference between shower conversion and full bathroom remodel?
A tub to shower conversion typically costs 60-70% less than a full bathroom remodel while delivering most of the functional improvements you’re looking for. You get a completely new shower experience without the expense and disruption of gutting your entire bathroom.
The conversion includes everything needed for the transformation: bathtub removal, plumbing work, new shower installation, and custom glass doors. Additional costs only arise if you want to relocate plumbing or make structural changes beyond the existing footprint.
We provide transparent pricing during your free consultation, so you know exactly what’s included and can make an informed decision about whether conversion or full remodel makes more sense for your situation and budget.
Can you convert any size or style bathtub to a shower?
We can convert virtually any standard bathtub configuration to a walk-in shower, including corner tubs, alcove installations, and custom shapes. Each conversion is designed specifically for your existing space and plumbing setup.
The main requirements are adequate structural support under the tub area and proper drainage, which are rarely issues in Centre Island homes built to local standards. We assess these factors during your consultation and identify any special requirements upfront.
Occasionally, older homes need minor reinforcement or plumbing adjustments, but we handle these modifications as part of the conversion process. The result is a shower that looks and functions like it was designed for that space from the beginning.
Will converting my tub affect my home's resale value in Centre Island?
A professional tub to shower conversion typically maintains or increases home value, especially in Centre Island where buyers increasingly prioritize accessibility and modern functionality over unused bathtubs that serve as obstacles rather than amenities.
The key is quality installation with durable materials and thoughtful design. A conversion that looks like an afterthought hurts value, but a well-executed walk-in shower often appeals more to today’s buyers than a bathtub that rarely gets used for its intended purpose.
Local real estate professionals report that accessible, low-maintenance showers are particularly attractive to buyers planning to age in place or families with busy lifestyles who value efficiency and safety over soaking time.
Do I need permits for a shower conversion in Centre Island?
Most tub to shower conversions don’t require permits since we work within the existing plumbing footprint without structural changes. However, we verify local requirements for each project and handle any necessary permits if required.
When permits are needed—typically for electrical work or significant plumbing modifications—we manage the entire application process and ensure all work meets Centre Island building codes. This service is included, so you don’t navigate the permit process yourself.
We maintain good relationships with local building officials and understand Centre Island’s specific requirements, which helps ensure any necessary approvals are handled efficiently without project delays.
How do I maintain my new shower conversion?
Your new shower requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional tile and grout installations. The seamless acrylic surfaces clean easily with standard bathroom products, and the design eliminates most areas where mold and mildew typically develop.
Glass doors need regular cleaning to prevent water spots, but this is much simpler than maintaining shower curtains or dealing with deteriorating caulk around an old bathtub. Weekly cleaning with non-abrasive products keeps everything looking new.
The materials we use are specifically chosen for Long Island’s humid coastal climate. With basic care—wiping down after use and weekly cleaning—your shower conversion should maintain its appearance and functionality for decades without the ongoing maintenance headaches of traditional bathroom installations.
