Tub-to-Shower Conversion: Everything You Need to Know

Tub-to-shower conversions are the most popular bathroom upgrade in Georgia. Whether you want better accessibility, a more modern look, or simply prefer showers over baths, converting your tub to a walk-in shower is a smart investment.

Assess Your Current Bathroom

Start by evaluating your existing tub space. Most standard bathtub alcoves are 60 inches wide by 30-32 inches deep — the perfect size for a walk-in shower. During your free estimate, Robert will measure the space, check the plumbing configuration, and inspect the subfloor to ensure everything is ready for conversion.

Choose Your Materials and Design

Select from our premium SwanStone solid-surface panel colors and patterns. Choose your fixtures (chrome, brushed nickel, or matte black), glass enclosure style, and any accessories like built-in niches, corner shelves, or grab bars. We'll help you design a shower that matches your style and needs.

Remove the Old Tub

On installation day, we carefully remove the existing bathtub, dispose of it properly, and inspect the subfloor and plumbing. Any necessary repairs to the subfloor or plumbing adjustments are handled before the new shower goes in.

Install Your New Walk-In Shower

The new shower base is set and leveled, SwanStone panels are precision-cut and installed, plumbing connections are made, and your chosen fixtures and glass enclosure are fitted. The entire process typically takes 2-3 days from start to finish.

How Long Does a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Take?

Most tub-to-shower conversions are completed in 2-3 days. Day one focuses on tub removal, subfloor inspection, and base installation. Day two covers panel installation, plumbing, and fixtures. If a glass enclosure is included, it may be installed on day two or three depending on complexity.

Can I Convert Any Bathtub to a Shower?

In most cases, yes. Standard alcove tubs, corner tubs, and even some freestanding tubs can be converted to walk-in showers. The main requirement is adequate plumbing access and a structurally sound subfloor. Robert will evaluate your specific situation during the free estimate.
