Your Bathroom Works Better Every Single Day
You step into your shower instead of climbing over walls. That’s the difference between dreading your morning routine and actually enjoying it. For Huntington Bay homeowners, especially those thinking about aging in place, this isn’t just about convenience—it’s about staying independent in your own home.
Your bathroom feels bigger immediately. Where that bulky tub used to dominate the space, you now have an open, modern shower that makes the entire room feel more spacious. The glass doors we install reflect light and create that spa-like atmosphere you’ve been wanting.
Cleaning becomes something you can actually keep up with. No more scrubbing around tub edges or fighting soap scum in corners you can barely reach. Your new shower stays cleaner longer and takes half the time to maintain.

We've Been Doing This Since Before It Was Trendy
OMG Shower Doors has been handling tub to shower conversions on Long Island for over 30 years. We’re the family-owned company that Huntington Bay homeowners call when they want the job done right the first time.
We understand what you’re dealing with in these older homes. The quirky layouts, the plumbing that was installed decades ago, the need to work around existing tile and fixtures. We’ve seen it all and know how to make your conversion work within your space and budget.
Most of our Huntington Bay clients are looking for two things: safety and style. They want to stay in their homes longer but need bathrooms that actually work for them. We deliver both without the drama of a full bathroom renovation.
Bathtub to Shower Conversion Process
From Old Tub to New Shower in Two Days
We start by coming to your home and looking at what you’re working with. Not just measurements, but understanding how you use your bathroom and what’s driving your decision to convert. You’ll see samples of our glass door options and get a realistic timeline and budget.
Day one is demo and prep. We remove your old tub, handle any plumbing adjustments, and prepare the space for your new shower. We protect your floors and surrounding areas, and we clean up completely before leaving each day.
Day two is installation and finishing. Your new shower base goes in, walls are completed, fixtures are installed, and your custom glass doors are fitted. You can use your new shower that same evening. Most Huntington Bay conversions are complete within 48 hours from start to finish.

Bathroom Remodel Options Huntington Bay
Everything You Need for a Complete Transformation
Your tub to shower conversion includes the shower base, waterproof wall system, fixtures, and custom glass doors. We don’t cut corners on materials because we know Long Island’s humidity and temperature swings can be tough on bathroom installations.
For Huntington Bay’s mature population, we offer accessibility features that don’t scream “medical equipment.” Low-threshold entries, strategically placed grab bars, and built-in seating that looks like design elements rather than safety additions. Your shower can be both beautiful and functional.
We work with your existing plumbing in most cases, which keeps costs reasonable and installation time short. The older homes in Huntington Bay often have unique layouts, but we’ve learned how to work around them without major structural changes or lengthy permits.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take in Huntington Bay?
Most tub to shower conversions in Huntington Bay take one to two days from start to finish. We’re not talking about weeks of construction mess—this is a targeted replacement that gets you back to normal quickly.
Day one covers removal of your old tub and all the prep work. We handle plumbing adjustments, waterproofing, and surface preparation. Day two is installation of your new shower system and custom glass doors. You’re usually showering in your new space that same evening.
The only projects that take longer are those requiring significant plumbing rerouting or structural changes. We’ll know during your consultation if your project falls into that category and give you an accurate timeline upfront.
Will a tub to shower conversion hurt my home's value in Huntington Bay?
In Huntington Bay’s market, professional tub to shower conversions typically maintain or increase home value. The key word here is “professional”—the quality of the work makes all the difference.
If you’re converting a secondary bathroom and keeping at least one tub in the house, you’re usually fine. Most buyers in this area prefer modern, accessible showers, especially given the demographics. Safety and convenience sell well in Huntington Bay.
A high-quality conversion with custom glass doors and quality materials actually appeals to buyers. It shows the home has been updated and maintained. Cheap conversions or obvious DIY work can hurt value, which is why choosing the right contractor matters.
Can you work around my existing plumbing during the conversion?
Yes, we design most conversions to use your existing plumbing layout. This saves you money and keeps the project timeline short, which is what most Huntington Bay homeowners want.
We can usually relocate shower fixtures without major plumbing changes. The main water supply lines typically stay where they are. We might adjust fixture heights or add new connections for upgraded features, but we’re not tearing into walls unnecessarily.
Older homes sometimes need plumbing updates to meet current codes or improve performance. When that’s the case, we’ll explain what needs to be done and why during your consultation. No surprises halfway through the project.
What accessibility options work best for Huntington Bay homeowners?
The most popular accessibility features we install are low-threshold entries and strategically placed grab bars. These make the biggest difference for safety while still looking like intentional design choices rather than medical equipment.
Zero-threshold entries eliminate the step entirely, which is ideal if mobility is a concern now or might be in the future. Built-in seating and handheld shower heads add convenience without compromising the shower’s appearance. Non-slip flooring is standard on every installation we do.
Many Huntington Bay clients choose these features as prevention rather than reaction. They want to stay in their homes as they age, and a properly designed shower conversion helps make that possible.
Do you handle permits for tub to shower conversions?
We handle all permit requirements and code compliance for your conversion. After 30 years on Long Island, we know what’s required and have working relationships with local building departments.
Most tub to shower conversions don’t require extensive permitting since we’re working within your existing bathroom footprint. When permits are needed—usually for electrical or significant plumbing changes—we pull them, schedule inspections, and handle the paperwork.
You don’t have to worry about compliance issues or dealing with building departments. We make sure everything is done properly and passes inspection the first time.
How do I maintain the glass doors after my conversion?
Our custom glass doors are designed for easy maintenance, which is one reason homeowners choose them over shower curtains or cheap alternatives. Regular cleaning with standard glass cleaner keeps them looking new.
We apply protective coatings that resist water spots and soap buildup. A quick squeegee after showers and weekly cleaning with non-abrasive products is usually enough. The hardware resists corrosion from Long Island’s humid climate.
Most clients tell us the glass doors are much easier to maintain than their old tub and shower curtain setup. No more replacing moldy curtains or scrubbing soap scum from plastic doors.
