Tub to Shower Conversion Specialists

A tub-to-shower conversion replaces an existing tub alcove with a walk-in shower designed around the available space, drainage, waterproofing and tile layout. We remove the old tub, reframe the alcove, coordinate the drain and plumbing, build a sloped waterproof pan, and tile the surround — all with the same crew from start to finish.

  • Tub removal and alcove reframing
  • Low-threshold or curbless entries where the structure allows
  • Custom tile, niches, benches and glass enclosures
  • Licensed, bonded and insured in Washington

Accessibility & Aging-in-Place Options

If stepping over a tub wall is getting harder, we can build a low-curb or curbless entry, add a built-in bench, install grab-bar blocking in the framing, and widen the opening for easier access. These details are planned in before waterproofing goes up.

Walk-In Shower Design

We design the new shower around how you'll use it: frameless or semi-frameless glass, a niche at the right height, a bench that doesn't block the door, and tile laid out so the room feels larger and cleaner than the old tub ever did.

Shower Waterproofing After Tub Removal

Removing a tub exposes the drain and changes the wet-wall assembly. We rebuild the waterproofing from the studs out — bonded membrane on walls and pan, sealed corners, and a flood test where the design allows — before any tile is set.

Tile & Finish Options

Subway, stacked, vertical wood-look, large-format, mosaic accents and pebble pan floors. We help you choose a tile format that fits the space and the budget, then plan the layout so cuts and grout lines land where they should.

Tub to Shower Conversion Process

Site visit to measure and confirm drain location, written estimate with scope and options, demo and haul-away, framing and substrate repair, plumbing coordination, waterproofing, tile, grout, glass and final silicone. We do a walkthrough together before we call it complete.

How Long Does a Tub to Shower Conversion Take?

Most conversions run from a few days to about two weeks, depending on whether the drain moves, how much framing changes, material lead times and curing schedules. We give you a realistic timeline before work starts.

Areas We Serve

We install for homeowners in Auburn, Kent, Covington, Federal Way, Renton and Bellevue, plus Maple Valley, Tukwila, Newcastle, Issaquah, Seattle and the surrounding South King County and Eastside communities.
