Complete Conversions, Not Quick Fixes
Your bathtub to shower conversion includes complete removal of your existing tub, professional plumbing modifications where needed, and installation of a new shower base designed for safety and longevity. We don’t patch over problems—we solve them properly.
Many Hicksville homes were built in the 1950s or earlier, which means we often encounter unique plumbing configurations and older bathroom layouts. Our decades of experience with these homes means we know how to work efficiently without creating expensive surprises.
Every tub replacement includes custom-measured glass shower doors that fit your new space perfectly. Our doors range from frameless to sliding designs, creating a sleek, modern look that maximizes space and light. You get professional installation, complete cleanup, and a shower that’s ready to use the day we finish.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take?
Most bathtub to shower conversions are completed in 1-2 days, depending on your bathroom’s layout and any plumbing modifications needed. From your initial call to final installation, the entire process typically takes about two weeks.
Since many Hicksville homes were built in the 1950s or earlier, we sometimes encounter older plumbing that needs updating, which might add an extra day to the project. We’ll identify any potential complications during our initial consultation so you’re never surprised by delays.
We maintain fast lead times because we understand you want your bathroom functional again as quickly as possible. The actual installation work is designed to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
What does a tub to shower conversion cost in Hicksville?
Complete tub to shower conversions typically start around $1,795 and include everything needed to transform your bathtub into a safe, accessible shower. This covers bathtub removal, plumbing modifications, new shower installation, and custom glass doors.
Unlike competitors who install plastic paneling over existing problems, we take a comprehensive approach by removing damaged materials and installing quality components. This means your conversion will last longer and function better than quick-fix alternatives.
We provide competitive pricing with excellent service, and we’ll give you a detailed quote upfront so you know exactly what to expect. No hidden fees or surprise charges after we start working.
Can any bathtub be converted to a walk-in shower?
We can convert any existing fiberglass, acrylic, steel, or cast iron bathtub into a walk-in shower regardless of its age or current condition. Any tub can be modified with the right approach and experience.
Many Hicksville homes have original fixtures from the 1940s and 1950s, including heavy cast iron tubs that were built to last forever. These older tubs require different techniques than newer fiberglass models, but our experience means we know how to handle any situation.
We measure your tub exactly as it exists and customize the conversion to work with your specific dimensions and bathroom layout. Whether you have a standard 5-foot tub or an unusual configuration, we create a solution that fits perfectly and functions safely.
Are shower conversions safe for seniors and people with mobility issues?
Bathroom falls are a leading cause of injury for seniors, and eliminating the high step-over of a traditional bathtub significantly reduces this daily risk. Walk-in showers eliminate the dangerous tub edge and can include built-in seating and grab bars, making them ideal for people with balance or joint issues.
With 10% of New Yorkers having self-care limitations including difficulty bathing—rising to 25% for those 85 and over—a shower conversion can be the difference between staying safely in your home and needing to consider assisted living.
We can customize your shower with handheld sprayers, anti-slip surfaces, and strategically placed grab bars. The goal is helping you maintain your independence and bathe with dignity in your own home.
Do I need building permits for a bathtub replacement?
Most tub to shower conversions don’t require permits since we’re working within your existing bathroom footprint and plumbing locations. However, if significant plumbing modifications are needed, local Hicksville building codes may require permits for electrical or major plumbing work.
We handle all permit requirements as part of our service, so you don’t need to navigate town hall or decode local regulations. We invest time in proper planning before construction begins to optimize your shower design and avoid costly complications later.
During our initial consultation, we’ll assess whether your specific project requires permits and take care of all paperwork if needed. We communicate clearly about every aspect of the project so you understand exactly what’s involved before any work begins.
What if I want my bathtub back someday?
If you save the cut-out portion of your original tub, we can restore it to its original condition so it looks exactly like it did before the conversion. This reversibility is one advantage of our conversion process over complete tub removal and replacement.
Many customers choose this option because it provides flexibility for changing needs or if they decide to sell their home to buyers who prefer bathtubs. The restoration is so seamless that no one can tell a conversion ever happened.
However, most customers find that once they experience the safety and convenience of easy shower access, they never want to go back to climbing over tub walls. Previous customers tell us their conversion was “the easiest to work with and the best experience” they’ve had with any home improvement project.
