Three Decades Serving Long Island Families
OMG Shower Doors has been helping Long Island families create safer, more functional bathrooms for over 30 years. We’re a family-owned company that understands what matters to Eastport residents.
In a community where 23% of residents are over 64 and median home values exceed $632,000, you need contractors who respect both your investment and your independence. We’ve completed thousands of conversions across Suffolk County, always with the same commitment to quality and customer care.

Bathtub Replacement Process Eastport NY
From Consultation to Completion in Days
We start with a free consultation at your home. Our team measures your existing tub and discusses your specific needs – whether that’s grab bar placement, bench seating, or handheld shower options.
Next, we create custom panels that match your tub’s exact dimensions and contours. No one-size-fits-all inserts here. We cut a precise opening in your tub wall and install waterproof panels that become structurally part of your bathtub.
Installation typically takes just half a day. We clean up completely, and you can use your new walk-in shower immediately. The color matching is so precise that most people can’t tell where the original tub ends and our work begins.

Walk-in Shower Installation Eastport
What's Included in Your Conversion
Every tub to shower conversion includes professional cutting, custom-fitted waterproof panels, and seamless installation. We provide grab bars, non-slip surfaces, and handheld shower attachments as standard safety features.
For Eastport residents, we understand the importance of maintaining your home’s value while improving functionality. Our conversions work with any tub material – fiberglass, acrylic, steel, or cast iron – and we can match virtually any color.
The process is completely reversible. We save your cut-out section, so if you ever want to restore the original tub, we can make it look like our work never happened. This flexibility is especially valuable in a market where home values average over $600,000.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take to complete?
Most tub to shower conversions are completed in half a day, typically 4-6 hours from start to finish. We arrive in the morning, complete the cutting and installation, clean up thoroughly, and you can use your new walk-in shower that same evening.
The quick timeline is possible because we’re modifying your existing tub rather than doing a full bathroom renovation. There’s no demolition, no plumbing changes, and no waiting for tile work to cure.
From your first call to installation is usually about two weeks – time needed to custom-manufacture your panels and schedule the work. This is significantly faster than traditional bathroom remodels that can take months.
Will the conversion work with my specific bathtub style and material?
Yes, our process works with any bathtub material including fiberglass, acrylic, steel, and cast iron. We’ve successfully converted thousands of tubs across Long Island, from vintage cast iron models to modern acrylic units.
Each conversion is custom-measured and fitted to your exact tub dimensions. Unlike pre-formed inserts that only come in standard sizes, our panels are created specifically for your bathtub’s unique shape and contours.
We can also match your existing tub color precisely using our glazing process. The finished conversion looks seamless – most visitors can’t tell where the original tub ends and our work begins.
How much does a tub to shower conversion cost compared to full bathroom renovation?
Tub to shower conversions typically cost a fraction of full bathroom renovations – often saving homeowners thousands of dollars. While a complete bathroom remodel in the Eastport area can cost $15,000-$40,000 or more, our conversions provide the safety and accessibility benefits you need at a much lower investment.
The exact cost depends on your specific tub size, desired features like grab bars and seating, and any special requirements. We provide free in-home consultations with upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect.
You also save on the hidden costs of major renovations – temporary living arrangements, eating out during construction, and the stress of months without a functional bathroom.
Is the conversion reversible if I want my bathtub back later?
Absolutely. We save the cut-out portion of your tub during the conversion process, and we can restore your bathtub to its original condition if needed. The restoration process uses the same precision techniques as the original conversion.
This reversibility is particularly valuable for homeowners who may want to change their setup in the future or when selling their home. Some buyers prefer bathtubs, especially in family homes, so having the option to restore gives you flexibility.
The restoration process typically takes the same amount of time as the original conversion – about half a day – and results in a bathtub that looks exactly as it did before our work.
What safety features are included with the walk-in shower conversion?
Every conversion includes essential safety features as standard equipment. We install grab bars in optimal positions, non-slip surfaces on the shower floor, and handheld shower attachments for easier use while seated or standing.
The four-inch step-through opening is the primary safety feature – eliminating the need to step over an 18-inch tub wall that causes most bathroom falls. We can also add a built-in seat if desired, which is especially helpful for those with mobility concerns.
All safety features are installed according to ADA guidelines and are designed to support users of all ages and abilities. These aren’t afterthoughts – they’re integrated into the design from the beginning to ensure both safety and aesthetics.
Do you need to change the plumbing for the conversion?
No plumbing changes are required for most tub to shower conversions. We work with your existing plumbing connections, which keeps the project simple, fast, and affordable.
The conversion process involves modifying the tub itself rather than relocating pipes or changing the basic bathroom layout. Your existing shower fixtures, faucets, and drain connections remain in place and continue to function normally.
In rare cases where customers want to add new shower features or relocate fixtures, we can coordinate any necessary plumbing work. However, the standard conversion process is designed to work with your current setup, which is one reason we can complete the work so quickly.
