Your morning routine gets simpler when you don’t have to navigate an outdated tub. Our tub to shower conversions give you easy step-in access, more bathroom space, and a cleaner, modern look that actually fits how you live.
Most people don’t take baths anyway. You’re probably using that tub as an oversized shower base, which means you’re climbing over a 15-inch barrier every single day just to get clean.
A bathtub to shower conversion changes that completely. You get a sleek, accessible shower that makes your bathroom feel bigger and your daily routine flow better.

Tub to Shower Conversion Process
From Measurement to Installation in Days
Your bathtub remodel starts with a free consultation at your Riverside home. We measure your existing space, discuss your style preferences, and explain exactly what the conversion will involve.
Next, we handle the removal of your old tub and any necessary plumbing adjustments. Most Riverside homes built in the last 30 years have plumbing that works perfectly for shower conversions, but we’ll make any needed modifications to ensure proper drainage and water pressure.
Then comes the installation of your new shower base, walls, and custom glass door. We use high-quality materials designed to last decades, not years. The entire bathtub to shower conversion typically takes 1-2 days, depending on your specific setup.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through your new shower’s features. You’re not dealing with weeks of construction mess—you’re back to normal life with a bathroom that actually works better.

What Your Conversion Actually Includes
Your tub to shower conversion includes everything needed for a complete transformation. We remove your existing tub, install a new shower base with proper waterproofing, add durable wall surrounds, and finish with a custom glass door designed specifically for your space.
In Riverside, NY, we see a lot of homes with smaller bathrooms where space efficiency matters. That’s why our conversions often include corner shower designs that maximize your available space while providing comfortable shower dimensions.
Your custom glass door isn’t just functional—it’s the centerpiece that makes your bathroom look modern and expensive. We offer frameless, semi-frameless, and framed options depending on your style preferences and budget. Each door is measured and manufactured specifically for your shower opening.
The materials we use are designed for Long Island’s humidity and temperature variations. Your shower walls won’t crack, chip, or fade, and the glass door hardware is built to handle daily use for decades.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take in Riverside?
Most tub to shower conversions in Riverside, NY take 1-2 days to complete. The timeline depends on your existing plumbing setup and whether we need to make any structural modifications.
Day one typically involves removing your old tub, making any necessary plumbing adjustments, and installing the new shower base and walls. Day two focuses on the custom glass door installation and final details. You’re usually back to using your shower by the evening of the second day.
If your home has older plumbing or requires electrical work for new lighting, the project might extend to three days. We’ll give you an exact timeline during your free consultation.
Can you convert any bathtub to a shower?
Yes, we can convert virtually any bathtub to a shower, regardless of size, material, or age. We’ve successfully converted everything from small apartment tubs to large soaking tubs in Riverside homes.
The key is proper planning during the design phase. We evaluate your existing plumbing, drainage, and structural elements to determine the best approach for your specific situation. Cast iron tubs require different removal techniques than fiberglass units, but both convert beautifully to modern showers.
Even tubs in tight spaces or unusual configurations can be converted. We often create custom solutions that maximize your available space while ensuring proper water drainage and comfortable shower dimensions.
What does a tub to shower conversion cost?
Tub to shower conversion costs in Riverside, NY typically range from $3,000 to $8,000, depending on the materials you choose and any plumbing modifications needed. Most of our clients invest between $4,000 and $6,000 for a complete conversion with a custom glass door.
The price includes removal of your existing tub, installation of the new shower base and walls, all necessary plumbing work, and your custom glass door. We provide detailed written estimates so you know exactly what’s included before we start.
Higher-end materials like natural stone or premium glass hardware will increase the cost, while basic acrylic systems keep prices more affordable. We’ll show you options at different price points during your consultation.
Do I need permits for a bathtub replacement?
In most cases, yes—tub to shower conversions in Riverside, NY require permits when plumbing modifications are involved. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
Permit costs typically range from $200 to $500 depending on the scope of work. If we’re only swapping your tub for a shower using existing plumbing connections, the permit process is straightforward and quick.
More extensive projects that involve moving plumbing lines or electrical work require additional permits and inspections. We coordinate everything with local building departments so you don’t have to navigate the paperwork yourself.
Will a shower conversion work in my small bathroom?
Absolutely. Tub to shower conversions actually work better in small bathrooms because showers take up less visual and physical space than bathtubs. You’ll be surprised how much bigger your bathroom feels after the conversion.
In compact Riverside bathrooms, we often recommend corner shower designs that maximize your floor space while providing comfortable shower dimensions. The glass door creates an open, airy feel that makes even the smallest bathroom appear larger.
We can also incorporate space-saving features like corner shelves, fold-down seats, and strategically placed grab bars that add functionality without cluttering your shower space. The key is smart design that works with your room’s proportions.
How do I maintain my new shower after conversion?
Your new shower is designed for easy maintenance with minimal effort. The non-porous surfaces we install resist soap scum and mildew, making weekly cleaning simple with standard bathroom cleaners.
For the glass door, a daily squeegee after showering prevents water spots and keeps the glass crystal clear. The door hardware is designed to handle moisture and daily use, but occasional cleaning with a mild soap solution keeps it looking new.
The shower walls and base require only regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners. Unlike tile and grout systems, our wall surrounds don’t have seams where dirt and mildew can accumulate. This means less scrubbing and more time enjoying your modern bathroom.
