"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
You can find out what type of shower valve you have by checking the manufacturer’s name and the valve’s serial number or model number. That information should be located on the back of the shower trim. You can use the name and number to do a quick online search to figure out which type of shower valve you have.
Most professional bathroom remodeling contractors take two to four hours to replace a shower door. The total time varies by the project's complexity and whether removal and disposal of a previous shower or tub are included in the project scope. Replacement also takes longer if you replace your shower door as a DIY project.
If there are no issues with the plumbing in your house or with the city’s water lines, then it may be possible for you to increase water pressure in your shower by cleaning or replacing your showerhead. For the latter, you should look for high-pressure showerheads with a flow rate as close to the maximum available, which is 2.5 gallons per minute (GPM).
If you don’t replace your shower cartridge, it will eventually fail. As a shower cartridge starts to wear down, your showerhead will leak. This can foster the growth of mold and mildew. It can also corrode the inside of the shower valve. You may start having temperature and water pressure issues with your shower. Luckily, a replacement is relatively straightforward for a pro.
Shower arms come in a standard size with ½-inch NPT, but designs vary. The height of the water supply pipe and the showerhead height you want affect the type of shower arm you should choose. For example, a water outlet that’s located close to the ceiling would be suitable for a standard shower arm (small extension with a slight downward angle) or a straight arm model. Outlets situated lower in the shower allow for gooseneck shower arms, which can raise the showerhead's height.
