"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."

"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"
"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."
"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
Most shower arms are ½-inch national pipe thread (NPT). It’s best to check the thread size before buying a new shower arm or showerhead to ensure everything will fit together once you’re ready to install. Remember that older homes or those outside North America may not have standard pipe or thread sizes, which can complicate installation and make it more important to check the thread size before buying.
Roll-in showers, on average, take two to four days to install. If you need to demolish your existing shower, install new plumbing, or do other bathroom renovations, your project could take several months to complete. Consult with a remodel designer to get a better idea of how long your shower installation could take, as every project is different.
Most of the time, Medicare will not pay for a roll-in shower because it isn’t considered medically necessary. However, a doctor’s recommendation and other medical evidence may qualify you for reimbursement. If you need a roll-in shower for medical reasons, you will likely need to pay up front for installation and then apply for reimbursement.
Most shower pans can be cut to size, including those made from mortar, polystyrene, tile (and the under-tile ABS lining), and even solid surfaces. The only common shower pan material you cannot easily cut to size is cast iron because it is heavy, difficult to cut, and prone to rust once the protective enamel has been removed.
You should replace your showerhead if you notice issues such as low water pressure, leaks, rust, mineral deposits, sediment buildup, or black mold. These signs can indicate internal problems that might lead to health issues if ignored. If you find black mold, it's wise to inspect the rest of your bathroom for other potential sources. Additionally, significant sediment buildup may suggest the need for a water softener, while persistent low water pressure could point to an issue with your water heater.
Even without these problems, replacing an old fixture is an easy and affordable way to upgrade your shower. A new showerhead can offer several benefits, including improved water pressure, better water efficiency, and an enhanced aesthetic that complements your bathroom's style. Modern showerheads also frequently come with extra features like multiple spray settings or a detachable head to improve your showering experience.
