"They did a wonderful job of replacing our bathtub with a walk in shower. The Salesman we worked with, Scott Mavis, did a great job of showing us our options and helping us decide on the best solution for us. They really worked hard to meet our timeline to get the job done when we needed it done. Jimmy coordinated everything and did a great job of keeping us informed. The gentlemen who did the plumbing and installation were so pleasant, professional and did an outstanding job. They cleaned up after each day and told us what the next step was and when they would be back. We are already planning on more jobs to have them do! I highly recommend them."

"They , Josh & Travis, were very professional . They did an excellent job removing my tub & replacing it with a shower. Am very pleased with the work they did. Well done!!"
"Had a bathtub taken out and converted to walk in shower unit. The quality seems top notch and installer was great. Installation was over 2-3 days but this was due to a bad snow storm in the area with hazardous roads that caused traffic accidents. The installer went out of his way to do everything he could to expedite it while maintaining a quality install, which I feel he accomplished. Only part I did not like was the hard sell approach of the sales person. Be prepared. Fortunately I had done my research on this company and am comfortable in my decision. Time will tell how well it holds up, but the warranty looks like a good lifetime one. Would definitely use them again."
"We replaced our old bathtub with a walk in shower. The entire experience from our initial contact to the installer was professional and responsive to all of our questions. We are very pleased with the results!"
"I had my roof replaced. The salesperson was knowledgeable and very personable. Bridget was amazing. Communication was great throughout the entire process and I was satisfied with the results."
"I had my bathtub and walls done over. They said it would take 1 1/2 days,and they were right on time. I love looking at the new tub. Very efficient and professional."
"Outstanding job. Quick and efficient. Came to give me an estimate the next day and two days later, my walk-in shower was installed. I had to replace a tub/shower combination due to cracks on the flooring and leaking water and I chose to replace it with a walk in shower. It is really nice and I love it."
"The remodel turned out great. Needed to remodel since we have a daughter in a wheelchair and needed an open floor plan. Our home is almost 30 years old and also needed updating. Now have new open kitchen with a tabled that can seat up to 10. New pantry, and cabinets, removed and replaced old flooring. We have a big family of 6 and we are all pleased. My wife is pleased and that is what is important. Highly recommend them to do your work."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
The diverter valve in your bathtub is responsible for diverting water between your tub spout and your shower head. If water comes out of both at the same time, you have a faulty diverter valve. You can have a plumber replace this for you, or you can replace it yourself if you have some experience working with plumbing fixtures.
You can resurface or reglaze your bathtub, and it’s faster and less expensive than replacing a bathtub. Plus, replacing a bathtub is an extensive and intrusive process that requires wall repairs. Refinishing is an excellent option if the old one is in good working condition.
There are also options to install a bathtub liner over your existing tub. However, if you’re seeking a new bathtub with new features, you’ll likely want to replace your tub.
The first thing to consider when converting a tub into a shower is whether you’d like to simply change out the tub or undertake a complete bathroom remodel. If you’re unsure, reviewing bathroom remodeling ideas can help you decide whether you’re satisfied with your space or could use a change. From there, decide if you’ll handle the job yourself or hire a pro, and then set a budget.
The overflow drain and wastewater drain connect to the same main pipe to take water away from your bathtub. Your overflow drain is meant to prevent damage to your bathroom—especially the floor around your bathtub, where excess water can quickly create a mold or mildew problem.
Plan your budget, storage needs, accessibility features, and design aesthetics before starting.
