The space opens up immediately. What used to feel cramped and outdated now feels modern and spacious. You’ll wonder why you waited so long to make the change.
Your daily routine becomes simpler too. Quick morning showers, easy cleaning, and a bathroom that finally matches how you actually live – not how someone lived in 1963 when most Deer Park homes were built.

Bathtub to Shower Conversion Process
We start with a consultation at your home to understand exactly what you need and measure your space. No guessing, no surprises later.
Next, we carefully remove your old tub and prepare the area for your new shower. This includes any necessary plumbing adjustments and ensuring proper waterproofing – the foundation work that determines whether your shower lasts 5 years or 25 years.
Then we install your new shower base, walls, and custom glass door system. Everything is fitted precisely to your space and your preferences. Most installations are completed in a single day, so you’re not dealing with a torn-up bathroom for weeks.

Custom Glass Shower Doors Deer Park
Your tub to shower conversion includes professional removal of your existing bathtub, proper plumbing modifications, and installation of a new shower base designed for safety and drainage. We handle the waterproofing that protects your home from costly water damage down the road.
The shower walls are available in various materials and styles – from classic tile looks to modern solid surfaces that never need re-grouting. Your custom glass door is measured and fitted specifically for your space, not pulled from generic stock sizes.
In Deer Park, we see many homeowners choosing low-threshold or curbless designs for better accessibility. With our aging population and the fact that 45% of residents are over 45, these safety features make practical sense for long-term living.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take in Deer Park?
Most of our tub to shower conversions in Deer Park are completed in one day. We arrive in the morning, remove your old tub, make any necessary plumbing adjustments, and install your new shower system by evening.
The timeline can extend to two days if we encounter unexpected plumbing issues or if you’re choosing custom tile work that requires additional curing time. We’ll know during our initial consultation if your project will need extra time.
We understand that having your bathroom out of commission is disruptive, especially in homes with only one full bath. That’s why we work efficiently and always clean up completely before we leave.
What does a bathtub replacement cost in Deer Park NY?
Tub to shower conversions in Deer Park typically range from $3,000 to $8,000, depending on the materials you choose and any plumbing modifications needed. Basic conversions with standard materials start around $3,000, while custom glass and premium finishes can reach $8,000.
The investment makes sense when you consider that unused bathtubs add no value to your daily life or your home’s resale potential. A well-executed shower conversion can return 60% of your investment in increased home value, plus you get the daily benefit of safer, easier bathing.
We provide detailed, written estimates with no hidden fees. What we quote is what you pay, and we explain every line item so you understand exactly what you’re getting.
Can you make my shower wheelchair accessible during conversion?
Absolutely. We specialize in creating accessible showers that work for wheelchairs, walkers, or anyone with mobility challenges. This includes curbless entries, grab bar placement, and proper slope for drainage without barriers.
For wheelchair access, we typically install a roll-in shower with a slightly sloped floor that drains properly without any threshold to navigate. We can also add built-in seating, handheld shower heads at multiple heights, and grab bars positioned for maximum safety and independence.
Many Deer Park families are planning for aging in place or have family members who need accessible bathing now. These modifications don’t make your bathroom look institutional – they just make it safer and more functional for everyone.
Will removing my bathtub hurt my home's resale value?
In most cases, no – especially if your bathtub isn’t being used. Real estate trends show that buyers today prefer functional showers over unused tubs, particularly in homes where there’s another bathroom with a tub available.
The key is execution quality. A professionally installed shower with custom glass doors and quality materials actually increases your home’s appeal to buyers who value modern, accessible design. Poorly done conversions or obvious DIY work can hurt value.
In Deer Park’s market, where many homes still have original 1960s bathrooms, a thoughtfully updated shower signals to buyers that the home has been well-maintained and modernized. It’s an investment in both daily comfort and long-term value.
Do you handle all the plumbing work for shower conversions?
Yes, we coordinate all aspects of your tub to shower conversion, including the plumbing modifications. Our team includes licensed plumbers who handle everything from moving supply lines to ensuring proper drainage for your new shower configuration.
Most conversions require some plumbing adjustments – relocating the shower valve to the right height, potentially moving drain locations, and ensuring adequate water pressure for your new shower head. We handle these modifications as part of your conversion, not as expensive add-ons.
We also ensure all work meets local building codes and obtain any necessary permits. You don’t have to coordinate between different contractors or worry about whether the plumber and the shower installer are communicating properly.
What glass door options work best for converted showers?
For tub to shower conversions, we typically recommend either sliding doors or single hinged doors, depending on your bathroom layout and accessibility needs. Sliding doors work well in tighter spaces and don’t require clearance for opening.
Frameless glass doors create the most open, modern look and make your bathroom feel larger. They’re also easier to clean since there are fewer places for soap scum to accumulate. Semi-frameless options provide a good balance of style and cost-effectiveness.
The glass thickness and hardware finish should complement your bathroom’s overall style. We’ll show you samples and help you choose options that work with your space, your budget, and your long-term needs. Clear glass opens up the space most, while textured glass provides privacy if your shower faces a window.
