Bathtub Conversion Process Smithtown
From Tub to Shower in Days
We start with a free consultation at your Smithtown home where we measure your existing tub space and discuss your vision. You’ll see samples of our glass options and shower base materials, and we’ll explain exactly what the conversion involves.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we remove your old tub and prepare the space for your new shower base. This includes any necessary plumbing adjustments and waterproofing—work that’s crucial but often skipped by other companies. We take care of every detail so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors.
The final step is installing your custom glass shower door. Every piece is measured precisely for your specific shower opening, ensuring perfect fit and function. We handle the cleanup, walk you through your new shower’s features, and make sure you’re completely satisfied before we leave.

Custom Shower Door Smithtown NY
What Your Conversion Actually Includes
Your tub to shower conversion comes with everything needed for a complete transformation. We provide the shower base, wall surrounds, all plumbing modifications, and your custom glass door with professional installation. No surprise costs or additional contractors needed.
Smithtown homeowners appreciate that we use high-quality materials designed for Long Island’s climate. Your shower base won’t crack from foundation settling, and your glass door hardware resists the humidity that’s common in Suffolk County bathrooms. We also include proper ventilation planning to prevent the moisture issues that plague many local bathrooms.
The glass door itself is custom-measured and manufactured specifically for your shower opening. You can choose from clear, frosted, or textured glass, and we offer various hardware finishes to match your bathroom’s style. Every door comes with our professional installation and includes all necessary seals and hardware for years of reliable use.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take in Smithtown?
Most tub to shower conversions in Smithtown homes take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day one involves removing your old tub and preparing the space, including any necessary plumbing work. Day two focuses on installing your new shower base and wall surrounds, ensuring everything is properly waterproofed.
Your custom glass door installation happens on day three, once everything else is complete and cured. We measure for your glass door after the shower base is installed to ensure perfect fit. The timeline can vary slightly depending on your specific bathroom layout and any unexpected plumbing issues we discover, but we always keep you informed of any changes to the schedule.
Will converting my tub to shower affect my Smithtown home's resale value?
In most Smithtown neighborhoods, converting an unused tub to a modern shower actually increases your home’s appeal to buyers. Real estate agents consistently tell us that buyers prefer move-in-ready bathrooms with updated fixtures, and a sleek glass shower door creates that modern look buyers want.
The key is doing the conversion properly with quality materials and professional installation. A poorly done conversion can hurt your value, but a professional job with custom glass and proper waterproofing typically adds value. Many Smithtown homeowners also find that the improved functionality and safety of a walk-in shower makes their home more attractive to a broader range of potential buyers, especially those concerned about aging in place.
What happens to the plumbing when you remove my bathtub?
We handle all necessary plumbing modifications as part of your conversion. The existing tub drain is typically relocated to work with your new shower base, and we adjust the plumbing rough-in to accommodate the different fixture heights. Most Smithtown homes built in the last 30 years have plumbing that’s relatively straightforward to modify.
Your shower valve and controls can usually stay in the same location, though we may recommend upgrading to a more modern valve for better water pressure and temperature control. We also ensure proper slope for drainage and install any additional waterproofing behind the walls. All plumbing work is done to Suffolk County code requirements, and we pull permits when necessary to keep everything legal and up to standard.
Can you match my existing bathroom tile and fixtures?
We work with your existing bathroom design whenever possible, and our shower surrounds come in dozens of colors and patterns to coordinate with most tile and fixture combinations. Many Smithtown homeowners are surprised at how well we can match or complement their current bathroom style.
If your bathroom has unique tile or an unusual color scheme, we’ll bring samples to your home during the consultation so you can see how different options look in your actual lighting. Sometimes we recommend using the conversion as an opportunity to update the entire bathroom’s look with a more modern shower that becomes the new focal point. We can also work with your existing tile if you want to keep some elements and just update the shower area.
Do you handle permits and inspections for Smithtown conversions?
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate inspections with the Town of Smithtown when required. Most basic tub to shower conversions don’t require permits, but any electrical work or significant plumbing modifications do need proper permits and inspections.
We’re familiar with Smithtown’s building requirements and have good working relationships with local inspectors. This means your project moves smoothly through any required approval process without delays. We also make sure all work meets or exceeds local building codes, so you never have to worry about compliance issues down the road. Part of hiring a professional company is getting this expertise included in your project.
What type of maintenance does my new shower require?
Your new shower is designed for minimal maintenance compared to your old tub. The shower base and wall surrounds clean easily with standard bathroom cleaners, and there’s no grout to scrub or recaulk every few years. Most Smithtown homeowners find they spend much less time cleaning their new shower.
Your glass door requires the most attention, but it’s simple maintenance. Weekly cleaning with a squeegee or glass cleaner keeps it looking clear and prevents water spots. The door hardware should be wiped down monthly to prevent mineral buildup from Long Island’s hard water. We provide specific care instructions for your glass type and hardware finish, and we’re always available if you have questions about keeping your shower looking its best.
