"Bath Planet did an excellent job with a bathtub to shower conversion. It turned out better than expected with the bathroom being small and an odd shaped wall. They worked wonders to give use a beautiful shower. I highly recommend Bath Planet for all your remodeling needs."
"Great experience- requested a quote and got a response same day (this already felt like a victory since I inquired at 3 other companies and no one bothered to call back or show up!) The representative they sent out showed up on time, listened to me, and shared all my options. Nothing in the process felt pushy at all, and my husband and I got exactly what we wanted. The work was completed on time and they exceeded our expectations. I am planning to remodel our master bathroom next year and I will definitely be calling them."
"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."
"Their sales team was really polite and respectful. Their installation crew did a great job and cleaned up after themselves really well. I was really pleased with the overall experience."

"I highly recommend Five Star Bath Solutions to anyone considering a bathroom remodel. From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They took the time to understand what we wanted. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding, although they ran into a few plumbing issues which caused a delay in finishing in two days, Eric Sokol the General Manager explained the issue and he and Sal the installer worked diligently to adjust and complete the installation. At all times, Eric and Sal were courteous, respectful of my home, and paid attention to every detail. My new bathroom looks beautiful, modern, and feels like a completely new space. If you are looking for a company that provides excellent customer service, high-quality products, and dependable work, Five Star Bath Solutions is a great choice. We would absolutely use them again and confidently recommend them to family and friends. Jame & JoAnn"
"Customer service and workers were so nice and patient. Installed a whole new bathtub, shower, and vanity all within 2 days! Even came to ask me about little details that I wouldnâ t have even thought about myself. Will recommend to anyone who needs bathroom work done."
"From the initial sales call to the installation their follow-through was 100% perfect. The 2 men who installed the walk in shower were clean and did a fast/perfect installation. I highly recommend his company."
"We initially hired Integrity to gut and remodel a small bathroom. Their work was impeccable and communication was excellent. It was such a great experience to work with Chris, Pete and Mike that we hired them to finish the remodel of a cottage. This job had gone off the rails and that other contractor needed to be replaced as he turned out to be incompetent, unreliable and a complete failure at communication. When Chris and crew took over the job they were very well organized, trustworthy, and every step was documented and finished as proposed. Rates were very reasonable and fully explained. Chris always responded to our questions quickly. We would recommend Integrity Enterprises whole heartedly and were extremely happy to have found such highly skilled and honest professionals."
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
A roll-in shower is a popular bathroom remodel for seniors that includes a large, open space that's larger than your standard shower, a smooth, beveled slope no higher than half an inch to allow wheelchairs to enter, shower handrails to assist with support, anti-slip coating, and a shower bench for sitting. Some roll-in showers have other features like shelving, storage, and hand shower arm extensions or slide mounts.
The number of shower niches you need (or want) depends on the size of the shower and how many bathroom products you plan on storing. If you keep it simple with just soap and shampoo, the one shower niche will probably do the trick. But if you’re adding scrubs and soaks, you may need to think about installing two or more.
Yes, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor. Without the shower pan under your tile, water will seep through the grout and into the flooring. This will eventually lead to mold growth and serious water damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix.
The most cost-effective method of building a shower involves using a prefabricated shower kit, which can be found at most home improvement stores. These kits include preformed shower bases, wall panels, and doors, reducing labor and material costs. You’ll most likely need to hire a local shower installer to make sure it’s installed properly, but it will be less expensive than designing and installing a custom shower.
You should replace your shower cartridge if it’s still dripping water after you turn off the shower. This is the most common way to know when the cartridge is past its prime, but there are other signs. If you have a hard time turning the shower handle, as though it's "stuck," it may be time to replace it. On the flip side, if it turns way too easily as though it's slipping, but water isn't coming out of the showerhead, you may need a new one.
