Your old tub sits there taking up space while you shower anyway. After your tub to shower conversion, you’ll step into a spacious walk-in shower that’s safer, easier to clean, and built for how you actually live.
No more stepping over high edges or worrying about slips. No more scrubbing grout lines that trap soap scum. Just a clean, modern shower that makes your morning routine faster and your bathroom feel twice as big.
Your new shower works better for aging in place too. When mobility becomes a concern, you’ll already have the accessible design that keeps you independent in your own home.

Walk In Shower Installation Thomaston
What's Included In Your Conversion
Every tub to shower conversion includes complete removal of your existing bathtub, professional installation of your new shower base, and custom glass shower doors that fit your exact specifications. We handle all the plumbing connections and waterproofing.
In Thomaston’s older homes, we often work with unique layouts and vintage plumbing. That’s where our experience shows. We know how to work around the quirks of mid-century construction without tearing up your whole bathroom.
You’ll choose from multiple shower base options, glass door styles, and hardware finishes. Our custom approach means your new shower fits perfectly and matches your bathroom’s style. Everything is measured and built specifically for your space, not some one-size-fits-all solution.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take?
Most tub to shower conversions take 2-3 days to complete. The first day involves removing your existing tub and preparing the space, including any necessary plumbing adjustments. The second day focuses on installing your new shower base and walls.
If custom glass doors are part of your project, we typically install those on the third day once everything else is set and cured. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine, and you’ll have full use of your bathroom again within days, not weeks.
The timeline can vary slightly based on your specific situation, like if we discover unexpected plumbing issues or if you’re adding accessibility features like grab bars or built-in seating.
Will converting my tub to a shower hurt my home's resale value?
This is one of the most common concerns, but the impact on resale value is actually minimal in today’s market. Many buyers, especially in Thomaston’s demographic, prefer showers for their practicality and modern appeal.
The key is making sure you still have at least one bathtub somewhere in your home if you have multiple bathrooms. If you only have one bathroom, a well-designed walk-in shower can actually be more attractive to buyers than an old, outdated tub.
Modern shower conversions often increase perceived value because they make bathrooms look updated and spacious. Buyers see a bathroom that’s move-in ready rather than something they’ll need to renovate themselves.
What happens to the plumbing when you remove the tub?
We redirect your existing plumbing to work with your new shower configuration. In most cases, we can use the same water supply lines and drain location, which keeps costs down and simplifies the installation.
Sometimes we need to adjust the drain position slightly or modify the water supply height, but these are routine modifications that don’t require major plumbing overhauls. We handle all the connections and make sure everything is properly sealed and tested.
If your home has older plumbing that needs updating anyway, we can coordinate with licensed plumbers to upgrade those systems during the conversion. This is actually a good time to address any plumbing issues since we already have access to the walls.
Can you make the shower accessible for aging in place?
Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons people choose tub to shower conversions, especially in Thomaston where many residents are planning to stay in their homes long-term. We can design your shower with accessibility in mind from the start.
Options include low-threshold or curbless entry, built-in seating, strategically placed grab bars, and handheld shower heads. We can also ensure the shower floor has proper slip-resistant texture while still being easy to clean.
The beauty of planning for accessibility now is that your shower will work for you at any age. Even if you don’t currently need these features, having them built in means you won’t need another renovation later when mobility becomes a concern.
How do you handle the mess and disruption during installation?
We take protecting your home seriously because we know you’re living there during the work. Before we start, we lay down protective coverings on your floors and seal off the work area to contain dust and debris.
Our removal process is methodical, not destructive. We carefully dismantle your old tub and dispose of all materials properly. Most of the messy work happens on the first day, and we clean up thoroughly each evening before we leave.
We also work to minimize noise during reasonable hours and communicate with you about what’s happening each day. Our goal is to make this as easy as possible for you while delivering the quality results you expect.
What kind of maintenance does a new shower require?
Modern shower systems require much less maintenance than traditional tiled showers, especially if you choose our recommended acrylic wall systems. These surfaces don’t have grout lines where mold and mildew can grow, so cleaning is much easier.
For daily maintenance, a quick rinse and occasional wipe-down with standard bathroom cleaners is usually sufficient. The custom glass doors we install have protective coatings that resist water spots and soap buildup.
Long-term, you might need to reseal some joints every few years, but this is minimal compared to maintaining grout in a traditional tile shower. Most of our customers are amazed at how much easier their new showers are to keep clean compared to their old tubs.
