Replace a bathtub with a safe, easy-entry shower using the same footprint, with tile or panel walls and a glass door.
Many people use the tub in their main bathroom less than once a year, yet it takes up the best part of the room and makes every shower a step over a high wall. A tub-to-shower conversion keeps the same footprint and swaps the tub for a shower with a low threshold, a bench or a niche, and a clear glass door that makes the bathroom look bigger. It is one of the most popular bathroom updates in Nashville, especially for homeowners planning to stay in their home for years or preparing it for sale.
We measure the alcove, check the drain location and remove the tub and surround. The floor is repaired and leveled, a new shower base or custom pan is set and the walls are rebuilt with waterproof backer. You choose tile, solid panels or a one-piece unit, and we add a niche, a bench or grab bars if you want them. Finish details include a new valve, showerhead, glass door and caulking. If you want to keep a tub in another bath, we can help you plan so every home keeps at least one.
Most conversions fit the original alcove, so plumbing changes stay small and the project stays focused.
A low threshold or curbless option removes the high step over a tub wall, which matters for children, older adults and anyone with sore knees.
A recessed niche holds bottles without shelves that rust, and a bench makes shaving and sitting easy.
A tub in at least one bathroom is wise for many buyers, and we talk through that decision before removing the only one.
