"Everyone that we dealt with couldn?t have been nicer. We had a tub to shower conversion which was completed in one day. Matt, the installer, laid a tarp down from the door to our bathroom to protect the floors.
He asked for our input when he was installing the shelves and grab bars. After he finished cleaning everything up he explained how to used the new shower head and what to use to clean the surface. The next day we texted him with a question and he immediately answered.
We couldn?t be happier with the job done and the professionalism of the company."
"I would highly recommend this company. Our new shower is awesome. They were in and out in one day just as they said. We did a tub to shower conversion."
"Don and Carol worked around our schedule and when Covid in our house delayed the completion, they were ready when we got healthier to finish the job. I am very pleased with my new shower, goodbye nasty old tub."
"From Start to finish, it was the best experience. I was worried about about the project because of passed experiences. But House Doctors quickly put my worries to rest. The Sales team was open and honest from start to finish. Eric and his team were on time clean and did a great job with the shower. Highly recommend House Doctors"
"I had Ken and his crew come out in Dec. 2019 to install a new shower and replace two sink faucets in our primary bathroom. They did a great job. We did need a little warranty work done recently and they sent out a service technician who did what we asked courteously and professionally. I love a company that stands behind their work and Prime Baths in Coal City does just that. Will use them again as needed for sure."
"Tony Curry. the owner of Omni, was great to work with. He was at the job site most every day to ensure the project was moving forward correctly and to address any of our concerns. It's a shame Omni only does bathrooms. We would like to use him and his crew for other projects we have planned for our home."
"They came in the time allocated. I had two areas I needed looked at , main shut off waterline which some tightening of fittings that were done. The other was replace a part in the faucet if the tub that mixes cold an warm water. Only the cold worked. He tried to loosen and clean the warm part, it needed to be replaced. They went to the local hartware and purchased it. It now works fine now. One suggestion would be that every time an additional charge was mentioned, I had to ask specifically how much it would add to the total bill. I definitely will hire him again."
"I wanted my bathroom to be simple, practical, and easy to use. The old tub wasn't doing much for me, so replacing it with a walk-in shower was at the top of my list. Century City Baths did a great job. The new shower feels much more spacious, looks clean and modern, and is perfect for a quick shower after the gym or a long day. The crew was professional, kept everything tidy, and the workmanship looks solid."
"Antonio and his crew completed a 2-week remodel of two bathrooms at my house, including new tile floors and walls, a new shower, new vanities and sinks, and a new bath tub. They were very professional and provided good recommendations throughout. My wife and I are both very pleased with the outcome of their work, and were very impressed at their commitment to meeting the intended project dates. We have recommended them to our family members already, and would recommend to anyone else in the western suburbs. Thanks for the help!"
"My husband & I have been researching a tub to shower conversion for almost 2 years. We wanted American made & a family owned business. We talked to a number of companies. The estimates were extreme for the poor quality of materials. We were frustrated not knowing who to trust or being upsold or steered away from our vision of our bathroom. Our hard work paid off when we were connected to Alison Hawks and Eric with Premier Home Pros. Alison is their Sr. Design Consultant and Mktg. Mgr. Eric was meticulous at the prep work & measurements needed for our estimate from Alison. We had someone who listened, got to know us, followed what we wanted, met our timetable & most importantly... understood our budget. Alison & I clicked right away. She showed me samples of everything with suggestions for the style I was going for. They did not waste our time, the process moved along swiftly, professionally, never pressured. I know they will both be there for us during the process with the whole team."
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
Install shower grab bars around the waist level or wherever it’s most comfortable to grab inside the shower. If multiple people will be using the grab bar, install it in a location that works best for everyone. You’ll also want to install a vertical grab bar close to your shower’s entrance to help you get in and out.
The cost to replace a showerhead varies depending on the model and whether you hire a professional. A new showerhead typically costs between $50 and $100, though high-end models with upgraded features can cost $300 or more.
For a DIY installation, you can expect to spend about $75 in total for the showerhead, tools, and supplies. If you hire a professional, labor costs are generally between $50 and $100. Some estimates place the total cost for labor and materials between $80 and $220, with an average project cost around $260.
The final price is influenced by factors such as the type of showerhead (e.g., a standard single-wall mount versus a luxurious model) and the number of showerheads being installed.
To know if your shower pan is bad, look for signs that your shower pan is leaking. If your pan moves under your feet, there’s likely damage below it. Other signs of serious damage include visible cracks or the pan moving up and down when you step in and out of the shower.
Take quick action if you notice water stains on the ceiling or seams below the shower. If the base of your shower is always leaking or you have moldy grout by the base, call a pro to check it out.
Use mortar underneath the shower base. The mortar holds the shower pan in place and creates a level surface when spread properly. If your flooring is not level, you would need to use shims to create a level surface before moving forward with the mortar and base installation.
Note that installing a shower pan on an uneven surface can eventually lead to cracks and leaks.
The lifespan of a shower base depends on how often the shower is used, how it’s used, and how well it’s maintained. Acrylic and fiberglass shower bases last 10 to 15 years, while tile shower bases can last up to 20 years. However, if two people often use the shower at once or if heavy items are regularly dropped in the shower, the shower base’s lifespan might be shorter than average.
