Bathroom Tub to Shower Conversion Process
Simple Process, Professional Results
The process starts with a consultation at your home. We measure your existing space and discuss your needs, preferences, and any accessibility concerns. You’ll see options for shower bases, wall materials, and glass door styles that fit your budget and vision.
Next comes the removal of your old tub and any necessary plumbing adjustments. Most Shoreham homes can reuse existing plumbing connections, which keeps costs down and installation time short. We handle waterproofing, subfloor preparation, and any structural modifications needed.
Installation of your new shower base, walls, and custom glass doors typically happens in one to two days. We clean up completely, leaving you with a finished bathroom that’s ready to use. No extended disruption, no mess left behind.

What You Get With Your Conversion
Every tub to shower conversion includes professional removal of your existing bathtub, proper disposal, and complete waterproofing of the new shower area. You’ll get a custom-fitted shower base designed for your exact space dimensions.
Wall options range from easy-maintenance acrylic panels to custom tile work, depending on your preferences and budget. Many Shoreham homeowners choose low-maintenance materials that still deliver the high-end look they want.
The custom glass shower door is where we really shine. With decades of glass expertise, we create doors that fit perfectly, operate smoothly, and complement your bathroom’s style. Options include frameless designs, sliding doors, and accessibility-focused configurations with wider openings and lower thresholds.
How much does a tub to shower conversion cost in Shoreham?
Most tub to shower conversions in Shoreham range from $4,000 to $8,000, depending on the materials and features you choose. A basic conversion with a prefabricated shower base and acrylic walls starts at the lower end of this range.
Custom tile work, frameless glass doors, and accessibility features like built-in benches or grab bars increase the investment. The good news is that most conversions can reuse your existing plumbing, which keeps costs reasonable. We provide detailed quotes upfront, so you know exactly what you’re investing before any work begins.
How long does a bathtub to shower conversion take?
Most conversions are completed in one to two days. The timeline depends on whether any plumbing modifications are needed and the complexity of your chosen design.
Day one typically involves removing the old tub, making any necessary plumbing adjustments, and preparing the space. Day two focuses on installing the new shower base, walls, and glass door. For more complex projects involving custom tile work or structural modifications, the process might extend to three or four days. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Can you convert any bathtub to a walk-in shower?
Yes, virtually any bathtub can be converted to a walk-in shower. The process works with standard alcove tubs, corner installations, and even some freestanding tub configurations.
Shoreham’s older homes often have unique layouts or structural considerations, but these rarely prevent a successful conversion. The key is proper planning and measurement during the initial consultation. Our experience with Long Island homes means we’ve seen most scenarios and know how to work within existing constraints while delivering the results you want.
Will removing my bathtub hurt my home's resale value?
Not if you have another bathtub somewhere in your home. Real estate experts consistently report that having at least one bathtub is important for families with young children, but multiple tubs aren’t necessary.
Converting an unused or rarely used tub to a modern shower often increases appeal to buyers, especially in Shoreham’s demographic where accessibility and updated bathrooms are valued. The key is creating a high-quality shower that looks intentional and well-designed, not like something was simply removed. Professional installation with custom glass doors achieves this result.
Do I need permits for a tub to shower conversion?
Most conversions require permits, especially if any plumbing or electrical work is involved. The specific requirements depend on the scope of your project and local building codes in Shoreham.
Simple conversions that reuse existing plumbing connections may have minimal permit requirements, while projects involving plumbing relocation or structural changes need more comprehensive permits. We handle the permit process as part of our service, ensuring all work meets local codes and passes inspections. This protects your investment and ensures the work is done properly.
What's the best shower door option for accessibility?
For maximum accessibility, sliding doors or doors that open outward work best. These options don’t require you to step around a door that swings into the shower space.
Frameless designs eliminate the bottom track that can create a tripping hazard, though they do require precise installation to prevent water leakage. Many Shoreham homeowners choose doors with wider openings to accommodate potential mobility aids in the future. We can recommend specific configurations based on your current needs and future considerations, ensuring your shower remains functional as your needs change.
